About this episode
The episode discusses mid-decade redistricting efforts in America, public sentiment on lotteries, and shares fun facts about summer vacations.
America has embarked on an unprecedented mid-decade redistricting-palooza, aimed at removing as many seats as possible from the opposition party in state after state. It turns out that most Americans don't support this redistricting...in principle. That's the key phrase, however, as we'll discuss. Then, do you buy scratch-offs? But lotto tickets? Only play when Mega Millions reaches a billion? Americans seem to love their lotteries, but is that a good thing for the country? Finally, as we head into the long weekend that unofficially starts the summer season, our fun fact is about summer vacations. And it's a weird set of answers that were provided.
