Crime drops exponentially when money enters poverty — Jerremy Alexander Newsome calls the data nearly unarguable. Dave Conley and Jerremy work through the laziness question and land in the same place: most people aren't lazy, they're searching for purpose, and what looks like disengagement is distraction from a deeper problem. The conversation sharpens into a direct comparison between Alaska's oil profit-sharing model and AI companies — which pocket gains while socializing losses onto displaced workers, as hundreds of OpenAI employees averaged $11 million each in cash-outs while the people they displaced go on unemployment. Jerremy calls Social Security outright fraud: you pay in, politicians borrow it, and if that same money had gone into the broader market the returns would be astronomical. Both are on record: replace it with UBI for anyone under fifty-five and don't look back.
