Russ Greene discusses Total Boomer Luxury Communism, the burden it shoulders on young people and future generations, the existential threat it poses to America, and prospects for reform. During our conversation, I pushed him off on a great many rich tangents, but we never found our way to energy, ESG (then-and-now), or re-industrialization. Next time!
Russ is the Executive Director of the Prime Mover Institute.
