Stephanie LB critiques the modern-day American oligarchs, likening them to Bond villains, particularly those from the Pierce Brosnan era. She discusses figures like Mnuchin, Musk, and Matt Gaetz, seeing them not as suave villains but more akin to characters from '80s John Cusack movies like "Better Off Dead." The conversation meanders into the debate over banning TikTok, with Stephanie expressing skepticism and highlighting larger concerns about social media giants like Facebook and Twitter, suggesting they should be treated as utilities and owned by the public, advocating for stricter regulation.
