About this episode
The episode discusses German healthcare proposals, the impact of prediction markets on democracy, and features a whimsical tale about a whale.
This week, the Megacanners wear the boring old German news as a nice comfort blanket against impending Armageddon: There's 66 new proposals to fix Germany's over-expensive healthcare system, why prediction markets are a pox on democracy, and the tale of Sad Timmy the Unnecessarily Anthropomorphized Whale — plus: What is Berlin good at? It ain't the flippin Olympics, that's for sure. Ahoy!
