Ron DeSantis blames "woke politics" — the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank did more than just expose bank regulatory failures, it also showcased our worsening political divide.

In the homestretch of the campaign, Sen. Rick Scott of Florida claimed he doesn't know any Republicans who want to cut Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. Matthew Yglesias and Laura McGann can name a few.In fact, as much as the election has been a debate about inflation, abortion and democracy, none of those issues will be at the top of either party's agenda at the start of the next Congress. Instead, House Republicans are planning to force President Joe Biden to make cuts to Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. It would be risky to cut these popular programs on their own, but Democrats won't agree to join them without a compromise, like raising taxes. So that leaves Republicans hoping to hold up a vote on the debt ceiling to force Biden's hand.Suggested Reads:Scott: Republicans want to ‘preserve' social security and Medicare benefits,NBC News [Scott's ‘Meet the Press' appearance]Republicans, Eyeing Majority, Float Changes to Social Security and Medicare, Jim Tankersley, New York Times [background on GOP spending cut plans]Send us a bad take to review at badtakes@grid.newsFor a transcript of an episode of Bad Takes, please email transcripts@grid.news

Jim Sheeler won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing in 2006 for his story “Final Salute,” which ran in the Rocky Mountain News. The piece focused on Marine Major Steve Beck, who notified families when their loved ones were killed in Iraq and helped them through the mourning process. The story ended up being more than just about Beck, though, as it brought memories of the lives of the dead service members and their families to millions of people. The story was expanded into a book with the same title. That book was a finalist for the National Book Award in 2008. Sheeler made a name for himself as a reporter by writing feature obituaries about ordinary, everyday people. A collection of those stories can be found in Sheeler's book “Obit.” Sheeler never appeared on Gangrey: The Podcast, although many reporters talked about how they learned lessons from him and his work. He died unexpectedly on September 17. He was 53 years old. This episode remembers Sheeler through stories from a variety of people who knew him. In the introduction, Josh Roiland, an English and journalism professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington talks about how Sheeler helped him out a couple years ago when he was struggling. Included in this episode: Part 1: In October 2019, host Matt Tullis interviewed Sheeler for a writing project he was working on. Tullis recorded that interview and found the audio file after Sheeler died. It's presented here. Part 2: In the days after Sheeler died, Ben Montgomery tweeted a story he's heard Sheeler tell about his middle name - Expedite. Montgomery tells that story. Part 3: Steve Knopper, a freelance writer of 25 years, worked with Sheeler in Boulter in the early 1990s. He also tweeted a remembrance, and tells the story of how he and Sheeler stumbled out of a bar one night at 1 a.m. and found adults riding Big Wheels. Part 4: Anne Nickoloff and Mike McKenna were students of Sheeler's at Case Western Reserve University from 2012-16, and stayed in touch with him afterward. Nickoloff is now a reporter at Cleveland.com and the Plain Dealer. McKenna is a fourth-year graduate student in clinical psychology at Ohio State.

Dug gets The Real Deal On many fantastic perspectives on Real Estate investing - past present and future. Marshall Sklar was born and raised in Hewlett, New York, and later moved to Boca Raton, Florida where he graduated from Florida Atlantic University.  Since childhood, Marshall has been a master of focus and accomplishment.  It was in his freshman year of college that he discovered his passion for real estate mentorship, management, and investment.  While in school, Marshall co-founded numerous real estate related start-ups including an off-campus housing website which is the foundation of his career.  This venture would eventually become one of the leading sources for off-campus housing solutions in South Florida and was awarded 1st place in the 2009 FAU Business Plan Competition.  This was a huge milestone for his business, as he went up against over 30,000 competitors to place number one, gaining Marshall and his company notoriety amongst some of the largest names in real estate, both locally and abroad.    Marshall later expanded into the brokerage aspect of the industry and created an investor-based model for the acquisition of rental as well as "flip" properties.  The company, "Bidologist.com" together with its partners and investors how now successfully bought, remodeled, and re-sold over 1,200 properties.  Marshall currently serves as the co-founder of Florida's Best Realty Services as well as managing partner at Bidologist.com, LLC, and their affiliate companies including a title company, storage facility, and numerous other real estate-related assets.  His position includes finding investment opportunities in distressed real estate assets and either remodeling to rent, or re-sell them once complete.  The company acquires properties for investors via a modern hybrid program which he pioneered with his business partner Eric Nathanson, one of South Floridas prominent real estate investor/operators.  Their most recent acquisition was one of east Boca Raton's most well respected industrial-outdoor and indoor storage facilities.  The property (Mizner Storall) is situated on just over 2.5 acres of prime real estate near the Atlantic Ocean.  Mizner Storall has quite a history as it was owned and operated by an influential Boca Raton family since the mid 1900s, and in mid-2017, Sklar and Nathanson were able to take over ownership and management of the facility via an off-market transaction with the heirs of the estate. Marshall has been featured in numerous media outlets, investment groups, and seminars for his accurate forecasting of the subprime meltdown, real estate crash, and the rebound which would soon follow in South Florida real estate market.  He precisely called and openly forecasted to his dedicated followers the events as they unfolded, from the boom to the bust, as well as the recovery.  Marshall has a passion for learning and sharing knowledge, most importantly, in helping others succeed as he has done.  He speaks at numerous real estate conferences and investment clubs throughout South Florida, including the Boca Raton Investment Club (BRIC) and the Broward County Real Estate Investment Club (BREIA).  Marshall is also active on social media and shares his real estate stories and experiences with thousands of viewers via his Facebook live video feeds and blogs.  He lives a life believing that "knowledge is power" and he wants to enlighten those around him with knowledge in any way possible. In 2015, Marshall was a main focal point in a front-page article written by lead economic correspondent Jim Tankersley of the Washinton Post.  The article focused mainly on the South Florida boom-bust cycle that took place while Jeb Bush was the governor of Florida and how Marshall and his investors seized an opportunity to prosper from the crash, yet they did so with honesty and integrity.
