It's wild to see the profit motive leading to *less* overall oil drilling going forward.

Good news in the very short term though, helps democrats in the midterms if gas stays cheap?

I've been a big fan of UBI, but this study seems to indicate that it's at least going to be much tougher to make it work in western countries. Short version is that people in poverty ended up less happy after being given $2000, because it didn't solve their problems and simply made them more aware of how bad things are. There's some chance that things would work better in a non-pandemic situation. But overall, very disappointing.

Seems sorta like putting out a fire by dousing it with oil.

I've listened to Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast from beginning to end, almost a decade, it's been a great ride, and I look forward to whatever he does next!
