Cuban has a deeply flawed understanding of our healthcare system combined with an inappropriate belief in his own insights. Read a book or two before solving our societal ills, buddy.

All pyramid schemes...

Couldn't listen all the way through. Crypto isn't analogous to gold. At all. Gold isn't just another form of currency, the US has a fiat currency and isn't linked to the price of gold. Also, gold is used in manufacturing/electronics. Without gold for chips, crypto would be worth $0.

How do we get the truth out to the American people?

grumpyjay.bsky.social•73 days ago

Can you ask @mcuban.bsky.social about the growth of his cheap meds business? It's crazy to me that this isn't every person's first google search when coming back from the Dr

azengineer.bsky.social•73 days ago

You probably recorded the episode already. If you haven't please ask if it makes any sense to make healthcare providers more competitive by changing the system to require healthcare providers to list all of their prices and rates publically and charge everyone the same rate. No more hidden discounts

D.O.G.E should offer a sustainable way to address poverty/ineqality. With earned bonuses directly to low-wage workers’ paychecks thru an improved payroll system, providing a livable wage. Savings from reduced government costs support workers including laid-off government workers.

That part about crypto was such bs.

revansvt.bsky.social•72 days ago

Highly recommend this one!

Jon- When US transformed quickly from Horse & Carriage
to autos the numerous pooper-scoopers for streets were suddenly phased out. Necessary no longer
Change happened quite quickly---

Looks like pretty good 2028 ticket!

lurkingcitizen.bsky.social•73 days ago

Been watching you since the Comedy Central days when I was a teen. Because of you I got into politics (for better or for worse!). Thank you for all the work that you do Jon 🫡

brencon.bsky.social•69 days ago

Loved this episode. Thank you, @mcuban.bsky.social! Great primer on so many important topics in our lifetime. Agree or disagree we all need to be better informed about what is shaping our future.

I had to turn this one off. I am all for hearing different voices but I couldn't make it through just accepting the crypto shill at the beginning with no pushback.

Perfect color matching of your hair to his basketball hoodie😋

ellefranco.bsky.social•71 days ago

Best show you have ever done 👏👏👏

jpdix.bsky.social•71 days ago

Very interesting. Cryptocurrency does seem another way to covertly channel money. Criminals seem to enjoy it.

10lawngnomes.bsky.social•72 days ago

Why should Bitcoin be the crypto of record? I don't see why we can't take everything that is "good" about the coin and start fresh, instead of giving the backing of the world's currency to what has been a world of grifting and rug-pulls?

harshaline.bsky.social•67 days ago

The question goes a little deeper than this: see https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/crypto-is-for-criming

I thought the post-interview pushback on Cuban's views were spot on.

I like the way Jon is rarely confrontational, using humor instead, but sometimes I feel just a touch more needle would help.

cristinabb.bsky.social•62 days ago

Is one of you ready to start the campaign for the presidency? I’m in!

Follow every show..I wish 🤞 you run for president. You will be the best ever....You are the soul of America.

FYI @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social, many of us can't emphasize enough how much we're terrified how much Ai is being normalized, especially as it related to Terms of Service agreements and generative Ai.

Shout out to Lina Lina Khan for all her hard work to protect Americans and the United States!

easterlyart.com•72 days ago

Again, shout out @bsky.app for doing the right thing with this platform to protect users.

Making sure a platform doesn't abuse their users protects everyone, not just artists. We're all at risk with generative Ai, and it's good that Bluesky has taken a stand against it.

Did Cuban get you to start posting on Bluesky?

We need people to follow here, to keep us off the bigoted demagogues site

Excellent show!
