EPISODE 01

Insurance Denials

An algorithm denied 90 million claims last year. Over half were reversed on appeal. The math only works if you don’t fight back.

EPISODE 02

Pharma Pricing

The same drug costs $72,000 here and $800 abroad. The middlemen who negotiate your prices profit when prices go up.

EPISODE 03

The Billing Trap

Hospitals have a secret price list nobody sees. The cash price is lower than the insured price. That’s not a glitch.

EPISODE 04 — ARC SUMMARY

The Body Tax

Insurance, pharma, and hospitals aren’t three problems. They’re one machine built in 1942 that was never supposed to work this way.

EPISODE 05

Rent Algorithmic

Your landlord didn’t set your rent. A software company told every landlord in town to raise prices at the same time. The DOJ noticed.

EPISODE 06

Housing Crisis

You’re not competing with other families for a house. You’re competing with a hedge fund that bought the whole neighborhood in cash.

EPISODE 07

Food System

The cereal box got smaller. The price went up. The CEO called it “strategic pricing.” The math is on the earnings call.

EPISODE 08 — ARC SUMMARY

The Shelter Tax

You can’t afford rent, you can’t buy, and the grocery bill keeps climbing. Shelter and food are now subscription services you can’t cancel.

EPISODE 09

Student Debt

They sold you the degree, financed the loan, and made it the only debt in America you can’t discharge in bankruptcy. By design.

EPISODE 10

Gig Economy

They call you an independent contractor. They set your pay, your route, and your rating. Independence is the one thing you don’t have.

EPISODE 11

Retirement Crisis

They replaced your pension with a 401(k), charged you fees to manage it, and called it freedom. Social Security was supposed to be the floor. It’s becoming the ceiling.

EPISODE 12 — SEASON FINALE

The Labor Trap

You paid to get in. You can’t afford to stay. You can’t afford to leave. That’s not a career. That’s a cell reference in someone else’s spreadsheet.
