  • A call for shutdowns (plus voluntary closures)
  • Rampant politicization of health and economic issues rather than common sense approaches
  • Persistent jobless claims plus new layoffs 
  • Wall Street nerves turning into new Federal Reserve and Treasury action

Rinse, repeat, economy!

  • An oil and commodities expert breaks down how the shale revolution reshaped global energy power and why oil went below $0 earlier this year.
  • From markets to real estate to the dollar to retail, the data on whether the market is recovering or not is hella confused.
  • Scam selling, a big win for privacy from Apple, new jobless claims in the “whack-a-mole” economy and the biggest BTC options expiry ever.
  • The managing partner of Adamant Capital joins for a conversation about what the Protestant Reformation and the French Revolution can teach us about bitcoin.
