The California Coastal Commission exercises largely unchecked powers to regulate along much of the west coast. Pacific Legal Foundation attorney Oliver Dunford details his client's long fight with the agency.
In this special episode, Ravi and his guest co-hosts Reason Magazine writer Liz Wolfe and political commentator Stephen Kent weigh in on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that gave women the right to seek an abortion. The hosts also discuss another recent SCOTUS ruling that struck down New York’s concealed carry permit law. Later, they dive into recent data on Gen Z’s political leanings, as well as their attitudes towards sex, careers and marriages. Ravi then draws from his personal experience in progressive politics to explain why many left-leaning organizations are imploding. Finally, Stephen uses a recent New Yorker cover to talk about the - sometimes exaggerated - perception of political division in America.

Today, we talk about how corporations are stepping up when the government won’t. But are they actually changing anything in a meaningful way? Read the full transcript here.
In a global period of belt-tightening, popular anger will spill over. Our correspondent visits places where powderkegs seem closest to being lit; our predictive model suggests where might be next. China’s spies have a deserved reputation for hacking and harassing—but fall surprisingly short on other spooky skills. And why America is suffering a shortfall of lifeguards.
Bad news for keg stands: Airbnb just permanently banned parties at airbnbs, because it’s down with a little friction. The Olive Garden just hit pre-pandemic hiring levels because The Great Resignation is becoming The Great Reversation.
