The Ezra Klein Show
What We Got Right — and Wrong — in ‘Abundance’

There are 19 and the other ones are pissed.

The Ezra Klein Show
What We Got Right — and Wrong — in ‘Abundance’

Yeah, fair enough.

You'll get three.

In the Super Bowl a few years ago, there was a call at the end against Logan Wilson for pass interference at the end of the game.

And it was not pass interference.

And I feel very strongly about this.

This is the criticism that I have, and the real worry I have for abundance, is I'm not sure that we are articulating

how we're going to make these trade-offs in a way that makes sense and is both fair to those who need to have a voice but doesn't allow for interminable debate.

The Ezra Klein Show
What We Got Right — and Wrong — in ‘Abundance’
