#401 Shkreli Bad Stimulus

Alise, Milly, Kaitlin, and Amanda all had to be here for today’s long-awaited Martin Shkreli debrief. The hosts run through an Elle magazine story detailing former Bloomberg reporter Christie Smythe’s unrequited infatuation with the country’s most hated man. Milly describes matching with Martin in 2015 and the hosts consider what led Smythe down such a wild path, and what the reaction to the story tells us about dating and power in 2020. Then, they take a broad lens to nine months of stimulus negotiations and consider how the final aid package hurt or helped the parties politically.
