A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn

A reader writes to the show about SSDI and long COVID. Another has concerns about covered calls, and another has concerns about affording school, which sparks a rant from Gaby about the ways this country has failed chronically ill people. Then, a HUGE controversial email based on our latest veganism episode that has alarmed and delighted your host. Next, many of you write in to respond to our cancer and pinkwashing episode to spill the tea on St. Jude and to share your beautiful, heartbreaking and vulnerable stories. Thank you and I love you all.  Related Links: Covered calls: https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/12/31/missing-just-a-few-of-the-best-stock-market-days-c/  Vegan video: https://youtu.be/ao2GL3NAWQU Veganism book: https://caroljadams.com/spom-the-book Vegan emailer's crafts: https://www.rainbrocrafts.com/ The Pink Patch Project: https://pinkpatchproject.com Nina Tame: https://www.instagram.com/nina_tame/ Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

This week, a teacher writes in to talk about state pensions and low interest rates. A fossil fuels activist provides links and information for why fossil fuel subsidies are so destructive. The discord gives some advice about covered calls and short puts that leads me to a rant about how you need tons of money to make tons of money. Boy, did I have some thoughts on that! Then, a long voicemail about fossil fuels and bitcoin, which leads to me responding to criticism of Bad With Money on Apple reviews and Instagram. And finally, a voicemail about a queer teacher creating a safe space for gay students despite homophobic legislation.  Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

I'm sharing a special preview of the new podcast, What’s Your Problem? from Pushkin Industries. What’s Your Problem? explains the problems really smart people are trying to solve right now, from creating a drone delivery service to building a car that can truly drive itself. Jacob Goldstein, former host of Planet Money, talks with entrepreneurs and innovators about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there. In this preview, Jacob talks with Ramon van Meer, who is trying to figure out how to grow a niche business (ramps for wiener dogs!) when a pandemic blows up your supply chain.
