Solstice is nearing mailbag

Hypothetical podcasts, local abundance, and my efforts to be strategically annoying (but never rude)

What did they do with all that daylight they saved back during Daylight Savings Time? Can we tap into some of it?

Jackie Blitz: Do you think Tim Scott is an underrated potential GOP presidential candidate?

In general election terms, Ron DeSantis is an answer to the question “who seems optimized to beat Trump in a primary while addressing his most erratic behavior?” The actual strongest GOP contender would probably be someone boring like Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, who’s solidly conservative but rejects DeSantis’ hard-right views on Medicaid. That said, GOP elites will probably insist on a nominee who has hard-right views on Medicaid, and Tim Scott seems like a pretty solid choice in that regard.

maynardGkeynes: Every once in a while, I go back and re-listen to Weeds podcasts you did with Ezra. Damn, they were great. I wish both of you the best in your careers, but it would be great for you guys to do a Reunion podcast from time to time.

I’m glad you like those old Weeds episodes! I think…
