  I want to share a podcast with you that I think you could be interested in.

  The show is called Slate Money, and it's a podcast from Slate.

  Every week, hosts and reporters Felix Salmon, Emily Peck,

  The episode that I have to share with you today is called The Week of Minor Apocalypses.

  It was originally published on December 7th and reports on a few things that have been in the news.

• 00:32

  One, the public conversation around the failures of the U.S. healthcare system,

• 00:37

  sparked by the shocking murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

  And two, how South Korea and France followed Germany in having a governmental meltdown.

  And what's going on with all this political chaos?

  There's also a discussion on a piece that's in the ringer about why headlights are just way too bright and what
