Punish Politicians for the Right Reasons
Matt Welch, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Peter Suderman, and Nick Gillespie gather on this week’s Reason Roundtable to reflect with fresh fury on the latest bureaucratic bottle-necking and duty dereliction. And they find some bits of good news for you too.
Discussed in the show:
0:24: New York is…not well.
23:56: What’s the takeaway of comparing Democrat- and Republican-run states in the face of pandemic management? (Look forward to a feature piece diving even deeper into this by Matt Welch.)
31:23: Weekly Listener Question: What does the Roundtable suggest to replace the current vaccine approval process?
46:45: Biden bombed Syria, and we’re reminded that behind the “he’s not Trump” hype, he’s still just a “status-quo institutionalist.”
49:13: Media recommendations for the week.
