Jason Calacanis on the podcast
I normally enjoy the guests who disagree with my priors. They stretch my notions and sometimes change my perspective. That being said Jason C is not that. He is the classic socialism for me and my rich friends, and rugged capitalism for you. I used to listen to the All in pod, mostly during COVID when it was primary an investor/business pod. My jumping off point was the Silicon Valley bank debacle. Those so called “capitalists” had clients who had money deposited in that bank. Suddenly the folks who said there wasn’t enough money to fund programs to strengthen the middle class, were screaming to whoever would listen that they needed to be fully insured for a bank run they created. Which they ultimately succeeded in lobbying for.
My point is I only could listen to the pod for 5 min before turning it off. He is so hypocritical. It’s easy to argue for fiscal conservatism and a government tightening the belt when he doesn’t feel he needs it’s services. But when the chips were down those ideologies gave way to naked self interest at the drop of a hat.
