Unpacking the Michigan Primary // Fast food surge pricing could soak the poor

Show notes

The Michigan Primary was on Tuesday night, and Norris Howard is in with some thoughts on it (and other things around town).

01:03 - Norris is back from San Diego

02:55 - First time in the restored Book Tower in Detroit

04:37 - Unpacking the Michigan Primary. What does 100,000+ uncomitted voters mean? What about the general election? And how this political world is very different from 2012.

16:52 - Fast food chain Wendy's says they're rolling out AI-driven dynamic, or surge pricing, next year. And once one does it, it's real possible others will too. Norris makes the point that surge pricing with fast food is going to end up soaking the poor.
