Marc, Ray, and Dan open with a multifamily update on the Massachusetts SJC unanimously killing the rent control ballot measure over a religious-exemption technicality, pushing any reintroduction to 2028, before pivoting to the "Silver Tsunami" - the roughly 41% of America's eight million tradespeople expected to retire by 2031 and the massive labor shortage it's creating. From there, the guys dig into whether a traditional college degree still pencils out against trade school, weighing the network effect of elite schools and co-op programs like Northeastern's against six-figure tuition and the real earnings gap. They close on side hustles, teaching kids entrepreneurship, and the coming wave of opportunities to buy aging subcontracting businesses as their owners retire.
