Welcome to episode 60 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Dan is on-site at a job, so he is out of his normal studio space and very unhappy with his hair.

The first topic we tackle tonight is a positive initiative coming out of California. They are working towards making a financial understanding class mandatory for their high schools. While Dan and Nicole agree this is a fabulous idea, of course SOMETHING about it has to piss us off, it is who we are. First off, Dan cannot believe that California, of all places, is enacting this as they have issues balancing their own budgets. This whole topic goes down a pretty deep rabbit hole that you have to hear to believe.

The EU has a new mandate for cars, and it is not good for anyone. This leads us into a discussion about Google Maps versus Apple Maps, how we are always being tracked, and a bit about how AI will ruin everything. It is a real pick-me-up segment.

At this point we are running long so I (Nicole) let Dan pick the final topic, thinking there is no way he could make a feel good story about meeting your neighbors into something to be mad about. BUT HE DID! He never backs down from a challenge.
