Why America’s Kids Are Anxious

Ravi and Rikki start by discussing former President Obama’s appearance on Pod Save America and why his remarks on inclusivity seem so novel in today’s Democratic landscape. Then the hosts turn to a specific kind of deregulation that both Democrats and Republicans might be able to get behind: cutting back the red tape around licensing laws. Finally, Ravi and Rikki explain the Biden administration’s recent move to reclassify gig workers and debate whether the rationale adds up.
