Ep4 - Unrealized Consequences

Welcome to the fourth episode of the This Dude Thinks podcast, with your hosts Patrick and Steve. In this episode we’re going to ask the question on everyone’s mind, “What are unrealized gains and losses and what would a tax on them do to the broader economy?”. Which means we’re going to do what no one in DC ever seems to do and considered the Unrealized Outcomes.

We’ve designed this podcast for all to experience the perspectives of dudes, Because in this day and age it can seem hard to find masculine, common sense, viewpoints. We’re confident, what can be is true, merit-based equality; and what has been, wasn’t so bad.  So, let us unburden ourselves of the woke mind virus and learn from one another.

If you want to know more about us, you can find our inaugural episode in your podcast app, or on this dude thinks on Substack.
