3667 - Trump vs Netanyahu, AI Brokenomics; USPS Union Contract Fight w/ Ed Zitron, Tyler Vasseur

The guest argues that Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO isn't a triumph of innovation but a symptom of systemic financial rot, where regulators waived profitability rules for a company losing billions, while retail investors are being funneled into a speculative bubble. The real danger isn't just the collapse of SpaceX or OpenAI, but a hidden crisis in private credit—funded by pensions and annuities—that’s now heavily invested in AI data centers. If those AI ventures fail, the entire private credit system could implode, threatening retirement savings worldwide. Meanwhile, the U.S. Postal Service is pushing a four-day, 10-hour workweek and AI-driven route changes, which labor leaders warn would de-skill workers, increase management harassment, and degrade service—especially in urban areas. The union leadership’s silence on these proposals, despite widespread member opposition, signals a deeper crisis in rank-and-file representation. The episode paints a picture of two converging collapses: one in tech finance, the other in labor power—both fueled by the same toxic mix of unchecked growth, corporate greed, and political surrender.
