Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue, by Ryan Holiday on .Īdditional ideas and people mentioned in this podcast episode:.When do secrets expire? by Amy Willis.Thank you!ĮconTalk Extra, conversation starters for this podcast episode: It is a critical issue for the success of the USA. Russ, do an entire show on the economics of education. Imagine the teachers unions trying to win a lawsuit that would close a new school with hundreds of children excelling in it? The non profit should create a quick and easy application process for the money as soon as the the ESA’s become law. Let the states know the money may run out so they should move fast. The billionaires get together and form a non profit and commit between them $1b to start.

That effort would change the country in very short order. It would be taking away from the government and giving to the citizens. Imagine if every student in say, Los Angeles suddenly had $29k (estimate of how much is spent per child in the LAUSD) to offer any school that would take them? That is a revolution. This seems to me to be something they could all agree on and could be a real show of force for the importance of fair shot for every student in the US to get a great education. Imagine how many schools would be open, reopened or added onto? Imagine the billionaires lining up to sponsor schools…celebrities….Imagine the freedom the students in the worst schools would suddenly have?! The wealthiest 10 or 20 people in the USA could bring this about if they pooled their funds and created a non profit that offered to gift the funds for any school that is opened, reopened or added onto in a state that offered full ESA’s with a scale perhaps for more funds the bigger the per student allotment. I agree with Steve Hardy on the educational revolution that would be started with ESA’s or some other transfer of funds from the state and federal government to the citizens of the education money spent. Did I miss that part? Is it in the book? Brilliant idea and I wonder if it is going on somewhere else right now. I did not hear you discuss the deal terms for the venture. I ordered the book which is, I think, why Ryan does a podcast in the first place so it worked.
