Rhea Seehorn puts on an amazing performance in Pluribus. Once you get beyond all of the shaking in the first episode, the show begins to hit its stride.

Introducing the Tontine Health Plan — optimal efficiency, zero moral hazard, one lucky survivor.
Econ 101 midterm question: Based on what you know about risk pools and adverse selection in healthcare markets, will giving people money instead of giving them money to buy health insurance lead these markets to function more effectively, or will it just lead more people to be uninsured?

- get haircut
- dismantle and rebuild TV
- learn to speak Farsi
- invent velcro
- cause small earthquake in east Nebraska
