- Idk what planet this show covers...
Here on Earth 1, the economy very OBVIOUSLY SUCKS. The experts and segments are so out of touch that it's almost unlistenable. If you can't see that a LOT of folks are struggling then you really should dig deeper.🫤

You all have taken to lying about the economy to paint a rosy picture and that’s unacceptable for a show specifically reporting on it.
