What if instead of being on the brink of disaster, we’re on the cusp of a better world? No one can deny the challenges the world faces, from pandemics to climate change to authoritarianism. But pessimism and despair are too easy a response. Each week, Progress Network Founder Zachary Karabell and Executive Director Emma Varvaloucas convene a diverse panel of experts to discuss the central issues of our era, including sustainability, polarization, work, and the economy, and make the case for ...

- Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and some (real quick) election talk!
- We kept an eye on a couple of important races and ballot measures, but were excited to see Ohio enshrined abortion rights in its constitution AND legalized recreational marijuana. Toke up y'all!
- We also took a few moments to get to know our new Speaker, a predictably homophobic Trump sycophant.
- DoorDash warns consumers: if you don't tip in advance, expect a longer wait.
- Andrew and Pam say the solution is to require tips in advance, Laura isn't so sure about that.

- Good dupes vs bad dupes: a lot of stuff can be "duped," but you shouldn't skimp on things like mattresses, shoes, and skincare.

- What to do if you spend more time on your friends than they do on you...
