Economist Hoffer on La Crosse library, ending Badgers football program

From the city losing its north branch library to the University of Wisconsin no longer existing if the football program died with economist, Dr. Adam Hoffer. We spent most of the show discussing the city’s budget situation and the possible closing of the north branch library, which could happen at a 5 p.m. meeting Tuesday. We also worked in how the library could be part of an article Hoffer wrote a few weeks ago on “creative destruction,” and just how new technologies change the way of life as we know it — like cars replacing the horse and buggy or what happens next with A.I. In between that, we discussed the hot take that if the Badgers football program died, that means the university, too, would die. Hoffer explains how ridiculous a notion that would be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
