4:30 pm
is hard to see what the landscape will look like, but i think it is clear that democrats are going to try to make it a major galvanizing issue. obviously, if the ruling does not do what the draft says it will do, it might change things, but if it inner -- if it confirms the initial court view of this and takes the issue to the states, it does mean it will be a main issue democrats are talking about and to a lesser extent, republicans. this is a victory for them. usually in politics, it is usually easier to organize around being angry or aggrieved, but this is something those on the right have been trying to achieve for 50 years. larry: polls show more than 50% of americans favor keeping roe v. wade in place. how do you see republicans handling this? they may be walking a tight rope in some states. >> that's right, some states. it is different in california or

>> no question. this spotlights the fact that elections have consequences. without from having nominated three justices, this discussion would not exist. the fact that republicans have become the dominant supreme court force with six out of nine pix -- that does not change, by the way, even with biden's successful nomination -- it is a stark evidence as we have had for voters about what it means to have won presidential elections and, frankly, now up and down the ballot, it becomes more relevant because this issue will move cities and states across the country. it will be for governors to sort out if roe v. wade is overturned. that is where the ballot is now, and whoever is equipped at those

4:39 pm
you had a four-day work week. >> i don't know what it has to be 32 hours and then overtime. why not give employees an option to work a 40-hour week just 10-day days. there's no overtime costs. it is just structural differently, so you could choose to work 10-hour days. >> there are companies doing that even without a law, and there are places that are more flexible about 32 hours or whatever it takes for you to want to continue to work there because right now, the power has shifted a little bit. there's a crisis in terms of not having enough staffing. >> but it will shift back eventually. why not set something that is sustainable? i think that is an option to give people. a lot of people would be happy with 10 hours a day and three day weekend. >> a lot of people are already working 10 hours a day. they are just not getting paid for it.

i like your idea, forgetting the overtime. that changes the way employers might look at it as well. >> google is making it possible for people to get their personal information scrubbed from search results. the company says it has started taking applications to have things like phone numbers as well as physical and email addresses removed. google says with information popping up in unexpected places these days and being used in new ways, it needs policies to evolve. i, for one, am very happy to hear this. what do you think? >> absolutely. i don't know this to be sure, but i know europe has much more stringent regulations regarding privacy than we do. so much is available out there. if you don't care, no big deal, but if you have the option to remove some of that personal information, you should have that option. it is not really quite bright or quite fair. >> here's my question -- why is it taking so long for this to be inactive?
4:41 pm
ama: because our lawmakers don't really understand the internet for the most part. larry: that's true, but google understands the internet and data mining and selling your information for a profit. they understand that really well. i should not be able to go online and look up, dan, where you live, your birthday, other personal information. it all leads to identity theft in the long run for those predisposed to that sort of thing. dan: and we should take steps that can be taken to make that harder to do. larry: yeah. right now, stuff is giftwrapped for people who have negative intentions. >> there is so much out there already. i wonder if it may be a little bit too late. larry: yeah. sky high rent prices have led to a new living concept being tried in silicon valley. it is trending now online. 14 residents pay $800 a month to sleep in pods.

4:43 pm
i agree with dan. if it is your first job out of college, it is pretty much an extension of dorm life. dan: it is an option. a lot of people won't choose it, but some people won't mind a bit. larry: i know a lot of people who lived in vans -- this was pre-pandemic -- lived in a pretty luxurious van outside 24-hour fitness and used that to take showers and stuff. dan: it does reflect the sky high housing prices are here and how unattainable it is for some people to find places to live. larry: spencer, i will see you back at the pod later on. you're a champion. you're not a quitter. quitters don't do what they're supposed to. champions do.
