Ep. 417: Fiscal Dominance: Nothing Stops This Train
May 30, 2025
Back from a short hiatus, Jared and Cameron discuss a range of political, economic, and creative topics, including Joe Biden's recent cancer diagnosis and the scrutiny he is facing, Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and Moody’s US credit downgrade, gold versus Bitcoin for the remainder of 2025, whether companies such as Walmart will eat Trump’s tariffs, Jared's recent writing retreat, and his upcoming DJ gig in Las Vegas. If nothing else, you should get some good book recommendations here—i.e., check out Barry Hannah, Raymond Carver, et al.
