The economy just pulled a disappearing act, with the government admitting the US overstated job growth by nearly a million jobs. Whoops. We break down the fallout: why this 'oopsie' is now fueling the White House to fire the entire Bureau of Labor Statistics, and how they're using the weak data to try and force rate cuts. Get ready for data integrity to hit rock bottom.
China’s trade war is back, and it's mad! They just pulled the ultimate choke-move by restricting “Rare Earths” - the minerals that make your iPhone and our F-35 jets work. President Trump, "extremely angry," is threatening a "massive" 100% tariff hike that could leave the average tariff on Chinese goods at an eye-watering 130%. Is this just posturing, or is the global supply chain about to implode? Let’s throw some darts and find out!
But don’t worry, the FCC is trying to make your life harder by relaxing the rules on broadband "nutrition labels." Say goodbye to clear pricing; get ready for surprise fees on your next internet bill. Hooray!
Shock and surprise: Elon Musk's Boring Company is facing nearly 800 environmental violations in Vegas, accused of spilling muck and dumping untreated water. Surely we are just as surprised as you are.
Is everything just one giant, infuriating mistake? We’ll try to figure it out in this episode!
