On this episode of The Liquidity Event, AJ and Shane are finally reunited, and they cover everything from Missouri’s wild proposal to eliminate capital gains tax to why the return-to-office push might be hurting women more than expected. Plus, Greece’s crumbling infrastructure, sky-high babysitting rates, revoked science grants, and how to track down your long-lost 401(k). Oh… and of course, a little pasta talk.
