Who’s the last first person you’d
want driving you around for a fee? That’s right, Kennedy:
Our hostess’s participation in e-hailing is just one of many
angles taken in tonight’s special theme broadcast of The
Independents on Fox Business Network (9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m.
PT, with re-airs three and five hours later). “The Sharing Economy”
will feature:
* Beloved Reason columnist Veronique de
Rugy, talking about how the stifling regulatory state
encourages these innovate workarounds.
* Fox Business
Making Money host Charles Payne, who’ll talk about
why Uber and AirBnB are worth so much damn money.
* Airpooler
co-founder Steve Lewis, who will talk about why the F.A.A. is so
threatened by small-craft pilots taking strangers for a
ride.
* Sidecar CEO Sunil Paul, and
Getaround CEO Sam Zaid, who will talk about how
much they hate Uber.
* Disgraced former congressman
Anthony Weiner, who will defend the regulatory state and
otherwise do a lot of shouting.
* Dogvacay.com
enthusiast Mike Lam and his dog Toby, who will demonstrate why
peer-to-peer dogsitting is more rewarding than working for Goldman
Sachs.
It’s a terrific and informative program, and you should tell all
your friends to watch it, two times. I’ll be on Fox Business
Network’s After
the Bell to preview the show at 4:45 ET.
And to get in the mood, there’s nothing better than re-reading
and re-watching Jim Epstein’s marvelous multimedia piece from this
spring, “All
Hail the ‘Sharing Economy!’ A Mushy Phrase Gives Liberals Cover to
Join the Fight Against Big Government.“
