In a shocking revelation, a county in Colorado is using taxpayer money to fund a free ride-sharing program, but the numbers just don't add up. The speaker takes a closer look at the so-called "independent research" cited by the county to justify the program, and what they find is a web of deceit and misrepresentation.

This episode delves into the world of government spending and the ways in which agencies use research to justify their programs.
