  • Shallow and misleading

    No, Indonesia will not be ‘paying 19% tariffs’, because tariffs are a tax paid by the importer (in the US), which most of us know. Please don’t reinforce the false narrative!

  • Cringey,giggly smug

    Massively irritating. If there was any actual economic information, it was buried under the excessive tatting around.

  • I’d buy the cup!

    Love the show, the insights that you bring are helpful for those who like Michael, want to do a lot of things, but put blockers in front of ourselves. Listening to the show makes me think about the importance of investing and what is happening within the company’s business to make semi informed decisions. Looking forward to future conversations next year on Fear n Greed.
