Nearly a third of Americans say they believe the world will end in their lifetime. But what does that actually say about how we think about the future?In this episode of News Sidequest, we take a closer look at that surprising survey and ask listeners whether they feel more optimistic or pessimistic about the future than they did 10 or 20 years ago.We also explore the FAA’s plan to test flying “air taxis” across the United States — and whether anyone is actually ready for thousands of drone-style vehicles buzzing over our cities.Plus: a Florida man accused of stealing $600,000 worth of onions and potatoes, a missing Russian gold coin treasure, scam losses hitting $119 billion a year, and the very unfortunate moment when police lose the password to $5 million in seized cryptocurrency.
