For Shannon and Jamie, these enforcers are nothing short of heroes, fighting to keep the market fair and competitive. The episode also touches on voter suppression and its threats to democracy. Shannon and Jamie emphasize the importance of staying vigilant against tactics that undermine free and fair elections. They remind listeners that democracy thrives when everyone’s voice is heard.
