The best U.S. cash experiments still can't prove money durably improves health or child outcomes. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley spend five episodes chasing why, hearing from Ron Lynch that free cash is a chain, not a check, and from Chris Rimbal that money itself may vanish within 20 years. Dr. Conley and Dr. Rhodes weigh in last: cash helps, but isn't the answer either host hoped for. Jerremy pitches a Citizen Capital share system instead of a handout, and Dave argues the AI disruption they keep circling has already arrived.

Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley close the series on the loudest disagreement yet: has the AI revolution already hit, or is it still coming? Dave says he now runs this entire podcast alone — work that used to require four or five staffers — because of AI. Jerremy pushes back, insisting today's AI still isn't truly intelligent, just a sharper search engine stitching articles together. Dave counters that the United States only ever fixes disasters after they detonate, and argues this one already has. They close on a lighter note, narrowing their next topic to housing, fentanyl, or the baby bust, then let a game of craps make the final call.

The best U.S. cash experiments still can't prove giving people money durably improves health or child outcomes. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley pick up their UBI rebrand mid-series: Dave proposes literal shares in America, dividends tied to the AI and data economy already built on public information. Jerremy renames the whole concept the Citizen Capital program, hoping shared ownership sells better than a handout ever could. Chris Rimbal predicted money itself might not exist within 20 years. Then two doctors arrive with the actual data: cash helps, but it isn't the single answer either host hoped to find.

Timestamps:

• (00:00) Shares in America, not handouts – Dave's opening pitch
• (04:12) The Citizen Capital rebrand – a new name for an old idea
• (06:56) Money itself may vanish – Chris Rimbal's 20-year prediction
• (13:19) Real data finally arrives – two PhDs weigh in on cash
• (16:16) Cash helps, but isn't the answer – the hosts' hardest admission
