EPISODE #94: Welcome back to the pod! This week we have special guests Kelsey Piper & Patri Friedman joining Mike Solana to chat about our government’s inability to build anything today, and the solutions that are being built. We discuss the history of seasteading, the evolution of charter cities, build vs. exit, the “Abundance” movement, Trump's 'Golden Age' and if we’ll ever be able to fix the legislative branch.
Featuring Mike Solana, Kelsey Piper & Patri Friedman
We have partnered with AdQuick! They gave us a 'Moon Should Be A State' billboard in Times Square!
