Everybody's Business: The Airport Lines Are Long
Everybody's Business
The Airport Lines Are Long
Spring break is here, and so is the chaos. With TSA agents going unpaid amid the partial government shutdown, staffing is short at airports across the country. This week, Stacey and Max trace the invisible threads connecting 2-hour security lines to systems crumbling beneath our feet. Bloomberg reporter Deena Shanker joins to dig into the Epstein files, and explain who faces consequences when things comes crashing down. Then Martha Gimbel of Yale's Budget Lab asks a question on the minds of many Americans: Is retirement actually realistic anymore? Plus, Stacey makes the case for a love story [letter?] to the free market, and Max mourns the legless Metaverse.
