In today's (admittedly bleak) episode, Richard and Adam consider proposals to give the Federal Reserve even broader powers; and problems in the run-up to the presidential election; and problems that might happen after votes are cast; and President Trump's call to defund "anarchic" cities. Adam looks for the sunny side, but he doesn't find it.
