Episode 35: Debasement and Freebasement

This show was almost titled “Debasing the Dollar, Freebasing the Dime(bag),” but we have standards. We ask where U.S. institutions’ have gone when it comes to the way they respond to the Chinese Communist Party. Next, Maurice gives a Business Insider article on inflation two thumbs down. NPR asks what color those thumbs are. Amanda explains why harm reduction is great and how the U.S. government is about to ruin it. PLUS: Stay tuned for a Special Announcement™ from Maurice!
