On this week’s podcast, we discuss how cars constantly invade your privacy, but the press didn’t seem to observe Joe Biden’s difficulties for years. Things might have been different If he drove a Tesla instead of a classic Corvette.
John answers last week’s trivia and offers a new question about horse racing.
We discuss how General Motors got its wrist slapped by the FTC for using your personal data and how this is the standard of behavior in the auto industry.
John thinks this is an unavoidable trade-off for the convenience of connected devices. Tim is not so sure. We will watch Europe with interest.
John and Tim revisit what is now known about Joe Biden’s decline during his presidency and ponder who knew what and when.
John’s whack-job wants to turn immigration into a reality show.
Tim’s hero is a great scientist, and even more, a wonderful human being. He demonstrates what The Academy is supposed to be.
