It's our 100th episode! Of course, we deliver the same chaos as always, perhaps even more so. As we celebrate the arbitrary nature of numbers divisible by units of ten, we talk OPEC, The Fed, The CIA, Taiwan and Ukraine, Medicare Advantage fraud, Starbuck unions, corruption within the games industry, the short tenure of Liz Truss, and Steve Bannon's impending jail sentence. Jesse rounds the episode out with an examination of the 2022 Cuban Family Code referendum. As always, thank you for listening and here's to more episodes to come!
