Youngkin Cancels EV Mandates, Rattle in the Economic Engine, Weary of Woke 'Star Wars'

from 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary · host Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin divorcing Virginia from California's EV standards, what the latest job report does and doesn't tell us about the state of the economy, and the sad, steady decline of the Star Wars franchise and Hollywood products in general.First, they react to Gov. Youngkin's announcement that Virginia will no longer follow California's EV policies, jumping ship as California changes their regulations. They criticize the law that tied Virginia's policy to California's in the first place, and they celebrate this victory for consumer choice.Next, they analyze the May jobs report, which boasts of 272,000 new jobs, though unemployment is now at four percent. Jim warns that, whatever the trends in job creation and unemployment may be, the real economic problem to watch out for is inflation.Finally, they lament the deterioration in quality of the more recent Star Wars movies and series. They roll their eyes at the latest series being rolled out, Acolyte, whose stars promise that it will be "the gayest" Star Wars series yet.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite
