Current Affairs#72: Are Property Taxes Real?The team talk through the question of "vaccine passports", reimagine taxes, and judge whether it is obligatory to stay informed.
For the vaccine passport discussion, they are joined by Magnus Jamieson, who has previously guested on the podcast to talk about risk and resilience, and who has been following the COVID situation closely in his capacity as a stats geek (not, he would like us to stress, as an epidemiologist). In some brief patches, Magnus's audio features interference due to extraterrestrial whales careening through the universe, for which we can only apologize.
