Episode #288: Ya gotta break a few eggs to crash the economy

Israel wants America to bomb Iran and Trump dutifully follows orders, this show is living and (mostly) dying in 7/4 time, Trump uses math or something to impose tariffs on penguins but not Russians, markets respond like it’s 1929, Congress responds like it’s 1933, MAGA responds like Fox News tells them to, and we still need a 2nd mortgage to buy a dozen eggs.
