This week on Call Me Limbo, Dai and David cover everything from rising gas prices to the bigger question: are we actually moving forward… or quietly going backwards?

We kick things off with recession-coded behavior (yes, we’re all suddenly experts at squeezing every drop of gas), before diving into major policy updates across the country. From Colorado’s controversial labor changes impacting farm workers to expanding abortion access on college campuses, this episode breaks down what’s happening—and why it matters.

Then we head to Virginia, where a major redistricting vote just passed, sparking legal pushback and raising bigger questions about fairness, power, and who really controls elections.

Along the way, we also tackle:
– the reality behind “gerrymandering”
– why fairness in politics isn’t static
– and how everyday people are being affected by decisions made far above them

As always, we keep it honest, a little chaotic, and rooted in what everyday Americans are actually experiencing.

If you’ve been feeling like something doesn’t quite add up lately… you’re not alone.
