In this episode, Doug and I discuss the dramatic drop in global stock markets and various commodities, including tech stocks and uranium. Is this the the start of the big one OR are geopolitics the cause of the sell off?
On America’s next President - We analyze a recent email from filmmaker Michael Moore, advocating for Kamala Harris as the potential next U.S. president. Moore say’s America is ready for a leftist President and lists several polls on the leanings of American’s to back up his claims.
We went to the trouble to fact check Moore. Unfortunately, it looks like he’s mostly correct.
