4-22-26 - 9am - Update on Mom and Red Flag Day
About this episode
In this episode, Michael shares his thoughts on a recent experience with his mom's health issues and the importance of community support. He also discusses his frustration with Xcel Energy's decision to cut power to thousands of customers in Colorado due to high winds, citing the company's $640 million settlement for the Marshall Fire. Michael questions the logic behind this decision, arguing that it's a liability shield for the company rather than a genuine safety measure. He also touches on the theme of risk aversion in society, using examples from everyday life, such as warning labels and express lane fines.
