Tim reacts to news that Texas AG Ken Paxton allegedly used a fake Uber account to see his lover, riffing on politicians being drawn to power to cover up their own crimes and lack of empathy at the top.
- Ken Paxton and investor Nate Paul set up a fake Uber account so Paxton could secretly meet his lover, according to impeachment filing.
- Tim argues most politicians get into power specifically to cover up crimes they're committing.
- Tim asks if there's a shittier life than being a politician, even for honest people.
- Politics attracts a specific type of person who wants power to cover things up, unlike finance or tech.
- People without empathy, who don't sweat when bodies go down, are the ones who rise to the top.
- Being a sociopath is actually helpful in the United States.
