In a sweeping conversation, Hanson explains how low liability standards all but ensure disasters like the East Palestine derailment occur, and what could be done to change that reality. As Briahna has mentioned on the podcast time and time again, Professor Hanson's Corporate Law & Tort Law classes were formative moments in her political evolution. She's thrilled to share some of those lessons on today's pod. She paid 180k for law school so you could get these lessons for free. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.
