Ep 39 Our 'Pseudononymous Housing and Voting (Fraud) Expert' Economist Friend - ft. Jericho Hill

This week the guys were thrilled to be joined by Jericho Hill, an economist for the US government, moderator of /r/badeconomics, and a former Department of Justice statistician. They jointly discussed housing economics and all things electoral - from Republican shenanigans to Democrat-proposed voting reforms and the actual incidence of voter fraud. Jericho also shared some of his experiences as a former professional wrestling referee, why he is not a neoliberal (but is a hardcore YIMBY), and his pride in watching subreddit users meme their way into political relevance. You can find him and his very worthwhile thoughts @Motoconomist. 00:54 How Biden “stole” the election 21:23 Housing markets - shortages and fixes 37:24 Gentrification - costs and benefits (and Detroit) 43:54 Getting back to voting - HR1 and HR4 53:34 Gerrymandering and ranked choice voting 1:01:51 Electoral shenanigans, insurrections and Cyber Ninjas Fun Stuff 1:19:40 How is politics like wrestling? 1:28:27 /r/Badeconomics and neoliberalism 1:33:07 Todd Gurley, and Do Running Backs Matter? 1:36:33 Favorite Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe And as always, if you enjoyed this conversation and would like to hear others like it, be sure to like, review, and subscribe to us on your favorite podcast app. You can also follow us on Twitter at @NobodyDismal or email us at mailbag@nobodydismal.com - we promise to always respond, whether on-air or off.
