Summary The host argues Elon Musk is half-right that “money won’t matter by 2036”: AI and robots genuinely collapse the price of anything machines can make (computers down 93% since 2000, video/audio down 67% since 2009), but that deflation never lands in your cost of living because life’s big expenses — tuition, childcare, medical care, services, up 125% since 2000 — are bottlenecked on land,…
Summary Fitts argues that when the 1995 push by financial leaders to put America on a fiscally sound footing collapsed into the three-week government shutdown, the establishment “gave up on the country” — as the president of the nation’s largest pension fund told her — and launched a financial coup, moving money out starting that fall, which became the $21 trillion in missing federal money…

One bundle, every four years, no returns A typical supermarket carries more than 30,000 products. You…
Originally published via Armageddon Prose: Imagine, if you will, a land so utterly devoid of actual white supremacist terrorism that professional race hustlers resort to synthesizing it — conjuring it alchemically out of whole cloth like a jinn — in order to leverage it as the pretext to foist their progressive social engineering machinations on the American public. That land is America, and those…
Originally posted by Ryan McMaken at the Mises Institute: As Trump’s “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth demands a fifty-percent increase to the war budget—topping an eye watering $1.5 trillion—it may be instructive to remember that war spending has always and everywhere been the primary enemy of sound money. Some advocates of the warfare state like to lay the blame on social spending, but it has…
Summary Webb argues that Ohio’s “Silicon Heartland” data-center buildout is anchored by Leslie Wexner — Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent benefactor, whom she links to alleged organized-crime ties and the Mega Group that spawned Birthright Israel — who used public-private partnerships and his New Albany Company to seize de facto control of local and state government and funnel taxpayer money to big…
