The Bond Market Doesn't Do Ayahuasca

from The Gist Hosted by Peach Fish Productions

The bond market—stodgy, suit-clad, and deeply un-Instagrammable—has the economy feeling either "yippy" or "queasy," Plus, Republicans are eager to wield the issue of trans athletes, especially when stocks are tumbling. And linguist John McWhorter returns to discuss the beauty of borrowed Yiddish verbs, the aesthetics of the letter X, and why "My wife, she…" is pure Rodney and pure syntax.
