What Does an LA with More Housing Look Like?
When: Monday, October 24th, 2022
Host: LA New Liberals
Where: TBA
About: The high cost of rent has made it difficult for ordinary Angelenos to afford to live in our great city. As newcomers and locals fight over a dwindling supply of homes, homelessness has skyrocketed and tents have cropped up on every corner. The good news is that a new coalition of pro-housing advocates have cropped up in the past decade. Connected by the internet and united against the high cost of rent, the YIMBY movement has passed a number of important statewide bills in recent years. Now it's time to focus on LA's specific housing problems. The LA New Liberals will be hosting several pro-housing city council candidates in order to discuss the difficulties of organizing around housing in LA, as well as opportunities for advocates to get involved.

Saving the World from Catastrophic Weapons ft. Christine Parthemore
It's the second episode in the Neoliberal Podcast's new series on Effective Altruism, the movement that tries to do the most good possible for the world. Jeremiah welcomes Christine Parthemore to discuss catastrophic risks to humanity from nuclear and biological weapons. How likely is it that nuclear weapons or bioweapons are actually used in the next 50 years? What can be done to minimize those risks? Is technology developing too quickly and exposing us to existential risk?
Slouching Towards Utopia ft. Brad DeLong
The world is so much richer than it was 150 years ago that past generations might look at society today and declare it a utopia. But how did we get here, and are we really living in utopia? Economist Brad DeLong joins the podcast to discuss his new book, Slouching Towards Utopia. We discuss the key factors that allowed economic growth to explode around 1870, why Brad builds a grand narrative around the 'long 20th century', and why economic growth is the most important lens for understanding human history in the last 150 years.
The Battle for Reproductive Rights in Kansas ft. Ashely All
How did a solidly red state like Kansas end up voting against an abortion ban? Ashley All, leader on the 'NO' campaign to ban abortion in Kansas, joins the podcast to discuss how they did it. We discuss Kansas's unique political history, what kinds of messaging works in red areas of the country, and what this means for other fights in other states.
Reducing Animal Suffering ft. Lewis Bollard
Welcome to the first episode in the Neoliberal Podcast's new series on Effective Altruism, the movement that tries to do the most good possible for the world. Jeremiah welcomes Lewis Bollard to the show to talk about animal welfare as an EA topic. Why should people care about the suffering of animals vs the suffering of people? How bad are conditions really in the factory farms that supply most of the meat we eat? Which methods are the most cost-effective ways to help reduce animal suffering? We dive into why many effective altruists are working in this space and what they're doing to help farm animals around the world.
Debating Congress’ Big Bills ft. Ben Ritz
Jeremiah is joined by Ben Ritz to debate the politics and policy behind Congress's recent slew of big bills - the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the PACT Act. Will the IRA actually reduce inflation? Did Chuck Schumer pull a fast one on Mitch McConnell? Is the CHIPS Act as good as its proponents claim it is, or as bad as its detractors say? We discuss all this and more!
Explaining Argentina ft. Maia Mindel (2022 Shill Bracket Winner)
Argentinian economics blogger and 2022's Chief Neoliberal Shill, Maia Mindel joins the show to discuss Argentina's economy.
