Are you relying too much on technology to win freight customers? Are cold calls and in-person meetings still the real drivers of freight brokerage growth in 2026? Today's guest, Travis Dodge of Wheelhouse Logistics, breaks down why personal outreach, consistent prospecting, and clear communication still outperform fancy tech stacks when it comes to freight sales, logistics business development, and long-term shipper relationships! We talk about how smaller, local freight brokers can compete with large national 3PLs by leveraging local market knowledge, fast response times, and personalized service that shippers actually value, plus why execution and communication are what keep customers loyal and freight operations profitable. We also get real about entrepreneurship in the freight industry, covering the grit, daily discipline, rejection management, and ownership mindset required to build a successful freight brokerage, along with actionable strategies like proactive carrier communication, invoice follow-ups, and consistent relationship building that drive trust, repeat business, and sustainable growth in today's competitive transportation and logistics market! About Travis Dodge Travis began his career as an independent freight agent in 2014. Starting from scratch, he built an extremely successful book of business, which included a team of sub-agents and account managers. At his previous brokerage, he was the company's top agency six years in a row. After 10 years, Travis and his team launched Wheelhouse Logistics, a domestic freight brokerage which specializes in partial truckloads, temp-controlled LTL, and time-sensitive freight. Travis lives in Oakland, California with his wife, two kids, and mutt named Ted.

Dollar tree Dollar Tree Survival: What's Worth Buying (And What's Trash) | Episode 582 Every prepper loves to argue gear. Expensive gear. Fancy gear. Tactical gear.But when weather hits and shelves start thinning out, a lot of the most useful stuff people grab doesn't come from boutique survival stores — it comes from places like Dollar Tree. This episode is a straight, no-nonsense breakdown of what's actually worth buying there, what works in real life, and what you should absolutely never waste your money on. Electrolytes, Drink Mixes, and Cheap Hydration Wins Let's start with one of the best buys: drink mixes and electrolytes. I make my own electrolytes — quarter teaspoon of table salt, quarter teaspoon of light salt for potassium — but straight salty water kind of sucks. Flavor helps, and Dollar Tree has cheap packets that do the job. Store brand electrolyte packets are usually around five bucks elsewhere. Dollar Tree? About a buck and a quarter. Good flavors, no nonsense. They don't need to be fancy. They just need to get fluids into you. I've been drinking more water and electrolytes at work lately instead of Coke, partly because I'm taking iron pills and caffeine messes with absorption. It saves money, cuts caffeine, and keeps hydration solid. That alone makes these packets worth stocking. Allergy Meds, Band-Aids, and Medical Basics Dollar Tree allergy pills actually work. We've used them. If an allergy pill doesn't work, you know immediately — and these did. That's not something I'd say for every supplement in the world, but for allergy meds? Totally acceptable. That said, if you can plan ahead, Amazon year-supply bottles are still the better deal. Band-Aids are another situational win. You don't always need premium adhesion. Sometimes you just need to cover a small cut so it's not open to bacteria. Especially with kids, cheap band-aids are fine for minor stuff. They also carry: Isopropyl alcohol Hydrogen peroxide Cotton balls Vaseline (small tubs, but useful) All of that belongs in a first aid kit or backup stash. Feminine Products and Personal Care Emergency feminine products from Dollar Tree work. They're not luxury, but they do the job — and in preparedness, function beats comfort. Toothbrushes are fine as backups. Toothpaste is okay if you need it right now, but the unit price usually isn't great. Bulk buying elsewhere still wins. Still, if you're already there and you're low? Grab it. Batteries: Garbage, But Sometimes Useful Garbage Dollar Tree batteries are bad. No debate. They're trash in high-drain devices. But here's the thing: not everything is high drain. TV remotes? They work fine. You'll get months out of them. And because they're so cheap, you can slowly build a backup stash just by grabbing a pack here and there. We even use them as emergency backups in our propane on-demand water heater. It takes four AA batteries. No batteries means no hot water. Rechargeables are the primary solution — but if something goes sideways, Dollar Tree batteries will still get us through showers and dishes for a while. In an emergency, “good enough” is still good enough. Food, Snacks, and Bug-Out Bag Items Dollar Tree snacks are solid: Granola bars Protein bars Instant coffee Coffee packets Drink mixes They also carry instant espresso powder sometimes — and if you see it, grab it. That stuff is legit and fantastic for preps. Small jars of instant coffee are great for pantries. Packets are better for bug-out bags. Cheap energy drinks and drink mixes are easy morale wins. Tools, Electronics, and Stuff You Should Never Buy This is where people screw up. Do not buy: Tools Knives Electronics Headphones Power strips Surge protectors It's all junk. Unsafe junk in some cases. Trash bags, on the other hand, are useful. Survival trash bags can collect water, act as ground sheets, improvised ponchos, condensation traps — tons of uses. Duct tape and electrical tape are fine.Notebooks, pens, pencils? Totally fine.School supplies and basic learning materials? Acceptable. But tools and electronics? Hard pass. And for the love of God, don't buy the Dollar Tree steak. The Real Takeaway Dollar Tree isn't a survival store — but it is a supply store if you know what you're doing. Use it for: Hydration support Medical basics Cheap backups Snacks and morale Avoid it for: Tools Electronics Anything you'd trust your safety to Preparedness isn't about buying expensive gear. It's about knowing what works, what doesn't, and building layers that make sense. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

In this episode of the Omnia Performance Podcast, JB and nutritionist Tom McClure tear into the myths around bulking, cutting, and “doing it all at once.” Tom explains why most athletes are under-fuelled, under-recovered, and chasing the wrong goal. They break down why fat loss and muscle gain rarely play nicely together, why maintenance isn't a cop-out, and how obsessing over the scale is holding your performance back. If you want to train harder, race better, and stop sabotaging your progress with bad nutrition advice...this one's for you.Take OMNIA's Hybrid Training Quiz hereDownload our FREE Hypertrophy guide here https://www.omnia-performance.com/downloads/hypertrophy-testBrowse our Hypertrophy x Running Plans here

In the last episode in our series preparing you for the year ahead, we turn our attention to the dry bulk and shipbuilding sector. Senior reporter Greg Miller and markets editor Robert Willmington assess how each market fared in 2025 before laying out what you should be across in 2026, including an increased focus on tonne miles for the dry bulk sector and the continuing interest shown by national governments in shipbuilding as a strategic business. Will China continue importing record amounts of iron ore? Does it matter if volumes drop off if voyage length increases? Will we see more tankers and bulkers being built or will yards continue to fixate on containership orders? Listen to find out the answers to these questions and more and ensure you're prepared for what the rest of 2026 has to throw at shipping.

Send us a textThe cart says more about us than the receipt. We pulled together our Fab Five to map the real world of shopping right now: where we go, what actually feels good, and why some stores become habits you can't quit. From Dollar General's convenience to Dollar Tree's unbeatable card aisle, we compare the dollar store trifecta with honest logic you can use on your next errand run.Then we zoom out: one grocery store we trust, the best place to buy a new TV, and the unexpectedly strategic role of store layout in what lands in your cart. Parents will relate as we break down the “Mario on hard mode” that is shopping with kids—plus how free samples, coffee stops, and smart aisles can turn chaos into calm. We also settle a modern classic: Target's clean consistency versus Walmart's raw, late‑night energy, and how both win for different reasons.Memberships matter too. Where Costco exists, loyalty follows; where it doesn't, Sam's Club delivers with selection, outdoor gear, and those clutch samples. We talk gift cards without the guilt—when they're thoughtful, when they're lazy, and how to make them land well. Finally, we rebuild the struggling mall with experiences people will actually leave the house for: a fitness anchor, a proper movie theater, hotel‑event spaces, Dave and Busters, jump parks, even a destination sneaker spot. The theme is clear—design for daily life and shared moments, and the shopping comes naturally.If you're navigating online vs in‑store, raising little cart captains, or dreaming up a better mall, this one's for you. Listen, subscribe, and leave a quick review to tell us your dollar store ranking and your must‑have mall pick—we'll feature the best takes next week.Subscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREETactical BrotherhoodThe Tactical Brotherhood is a movement to support America.Dubby EnergyFROM GAMERS TO GYM JUNKIES TO ENTREPRENEURS, OUR PRODUCT IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE BETTER.ShankitgolfOur goal here at Shankitgolf is for everyone to have a great time on and off the golf courseSweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!

For more thoughts, clips, and updates, follow Avetis Antaplyan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/avetisantaplyanIn this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan dives headfirst into the trust crisis disrupting hiring across tech and go-to-market roles. Drawing from conversations with both hiring managers and top-tier candidates, Avetis unpacks the growing disconnect: why talented people are being ghosted while keyword-stuffed, AI-generated resumes get through the door—and often, no one shows up.As the founder of HIRECLOUT, Avetis offers a blunt assessment of the current system: hiring isn't broken because of AI—it's been broken for years. AI simply exposed how fragile the trust and signal layers already were. In this candid solo episode, he outlines why resumes no longer reflect real value, how signal degradation is warping candidate pools, and what needs to change for hiring to scale with integrity.From the dangers of synthetic candidates to the myth of "clean" resumes, this episode is packed with pattern recognition strategies, hard truths for founders and recruiters, and a blueprint for using AI as a tool—not a replacement—for judgment. If you're building or hiring in tech, this is essential listening.TakeawaysThe hiring process is failing both qualified candidates and frustrated hiring managers.AI didn't break hiring—it revealed how broken trust and signal layers already were.Top talent is being filtered out by systems that prioritize keywords over capability.Many resumes that look impressive on paper are either exaggerated or AI-generated.Clean, keyword-rich resumes often come from average performers—not real builders.Bulk applications and synthetic candidates are crowding out authentic applicants.Trust—not automation—will be the next real hiring moat.Hiring systems that prioritize volume over intent end up scaling noise, not quality.Companies need to refocus AI to handle speed and prep, while humans manage judgment.Silence from recruiters often reflects broken systems, not a candidate's lack of value.Founders who can't distinguish real operators from fake ones aren't ready to scale.The solution lies in a hybrid model: real interviews, verified networks, and contextual judgment.Chapters00:00 Intro: Why this solo episode matters now00:53 The hiring paradox: Both sides feel broken01:47 It's not a talent issue—it's a signal and trust breakdown02:27 The candidate opt-out: when frustration becomes exit03:15 Why AI struggles to recognize real tech and GTM careers04:40 The hiring irony: real people get ghosted, fake ones get interviews06:13 When volume replaces intent: how systems reward the wrong behavior07:04 Resume inflation and red flags recruiters often miss08:30 The model that works: AI for speed, humans for judgment09:25 Scaling incompetence: the danger of removing humans too early10:05 Trust as a competitive advantage in hiring11:10 How HIRECLOUT filters for real vs fake candidates12:30 Final thoughts: the future of hiring is human-centricResources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Dry bulk shipping went into 2026 in stronger than expected position, but will the market hold up?In the third part of our shipping market outlook series, we are focusing on the dry bulk sector with Will Fray, a Director of Maritime Strategies International (MSI).Speaking about the dry bulk market in 2025 to the Seatrade Maritime Podcast resilience is the word that Will uses.By this he means resilience to various external factors such as tariffs and the now suspended USTR port fees on Chinese built and owned vessels and on fundamental basis that the fleet grew by 3% but demand only grew by 0.5% in terms on tonnes traded. “So, it's quite remarkable that dry bulk earnings only fell by around 10% year on year,” he says.Listen to the full episode to find out where the markets are headed.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to ensure you don't miss our latest uploads.

Part 1 of this essay was published by rediff.com at https://www.rediff.com/news/column/rajeev-srinivasan-trumps-huge-venezuela-gamble/20260114.htmPart 2 of this essay was published by rediff.com at https://www.rediff.com/news/column/rajeev-srinivasan-was-maduros-capture-a-warning-shot-to-china/20260124.htmIt is hard to judge whether the US regime-change operation in Venezuela is a stroke of genius or an act of pure recklessness. This is completely orthogonal to the questions of morality and legality involved in such, well, coups, to put it bluntly. The real issue at hand is twofold: why did they do it? And what is the long-term fallout from it?I consider several perspectives below: the moral/legal angle, the alleged oil bonanza, the alleged drug trafficking, geo-politics and geo-economics. In sum, I am inclined to believe that the Venezuela adventure may not be an indication of American strength, alas, but rather of American weakness. To someone like me who is deeply supportive of the US (especially in opposition to China, the G2 condominium notwithstanding), this is a disheartening conclusion.The morality and legality angleLet us summarily dispose of the entire morality-legality question. At the end of the day, international relations, despite flowery marketing language, is essentially Chanakyan matsya-nyaya, i.e. the big fish eat the little fish, the law of the jungle. Might is right, and that's just the way realpolitik is, let us accept that and move on. The United Nations and the so-called ‘liberal rules-based international order' are syntactic sugar hiding this bitter fact of life. There are a few implications for the little or medium-sized fish: deter the big fish. 1. Bulk up, build up your military and economic strength, including your ability to produce lots of military hardware, 2. Build your economic leverage, so that you are an indispensable trading partner nobody can afford to alienate, 3. Build a nuclear arsenal.This last is significant. Let us consider all the recent (and near-future) invasions by big fish. Iraq. Libya. Iran. Panama. Vietnam. Afghanistan. Ukraine. And soon, alas, Taiwan. Ok, I may have missed some here, but none of them have nukes. If you have working nuclear weapons, and the means to deliver them (such as nuclear-capable missiles, submarines lurking in the ocean depths with nuclear warheads), then it is risky for the invading big fish. No big fish likes body bags, and they certainly don't like mushroom clouds over their cities.In addition, there was the stunning silence from the European Union and Britain, which have been moralizing to everybody about how wicked it was for Russia to invade Ukraine. No clutching pearls this time, eh, Eurocrats in Brussels? In fact, EU leaders were positively ecstatic about Trump's intervention in Venezuela. It is indeed the end of the European century.Ditto with the United Nations, which, by the way, is pretty much on its last legs so far as I can tell: on 7th January President Trump exited 31 UN agencies and a grand total of 66 multilateral entities.This of course hurts the UN's budget, not to mention its relevance.In January the US will formally exit the Paris Climate Agreement and the WHO, and it has already exited the UNHRC, UNESCO, and UNRWA. The newly announced exits include the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN Women's Fund, the UN Population Fund, the International Solar Alliance, the International Renewable Energy Alliance, and so on.All this fits in with the ‘Fortress America' part of the National Security Strategy, which I wrote about at some length recently. In my opinion, it is not in the US' long-term interests. The post-WW II “liberal, rules-based international order” with America as its center was good for the US, and its precipitous end will erode pre-eminence, Manifest Destiny notwithstanding. The problem is that the dollar, sanctions, SWIFT and US Treasury debt are losing their clout. Pax Americana too.Summary: Nobody is bothered about morality or legality.The oil colony: is it for real?It could be argued that the unabashed Trump statements about Venezuela's oil are exactly like the British and other European colonization of many lands in the 19th century. It can be summarized as: “we have the guns, we're going to take your butter”. That may well be true, although it is not discussed in genteel circles, where they pretend the Euros were on an, um… civilizing mission.Trump, to his credit, makes no bones about it: he says in so many words that he will henceforth consider Venezuela's oil to be his, and that it will be used for the benefit of both Venezuelans and Americans. To be honest, there is some rationale behind this: the infamous Resource Curse, where resource-rich countries end up with the riches being grabbed by both foreigners and kleptocratic local elites, and miserable citizens get virtually nothing.I am not quite sure how Arab OPEC countries managed to keep their money, and spend it on their own nationals: possibly because their populations were low, and they were used to authoritarian rulers anyway. The same with Norway. But the Resource Curse is a fairly universal phenomenon. I bet the global money managers are laughing all the way to the bank.When I first went to the US in the late 1970s, I had a graduate student friend, a woman from Venezuela. She was there on a generous scholarship funded by oil revenues, just like the Iranians who had studied with me in India. At least some of the money was going to actual citizens, and wasn't disappearing into tax havens. I guess socialism did Venezuela in over decades, as we have seen in West Bengal and Kerala.The country's finances are an absolute mess, through years of economic collapse, US sanctions, and a sovereign default in 2017. There are enormous debts owed by Venezuela to foreign investors, add up to more than $150 billion, or twice GDP; this includes interest, penalties for default, and arbitration awards for the expropriation (nationalization) of oil infrastructure. Venezuelan assets abroad (e.g. the CITGO oil retailer) are at risk.So far as I can tell, the country owes the following:* Bond default in 2017 (sovereign and state oil company PDVSA bonds): face value $60 billion, now up to $100 billion with accrued interest and penalties. Owed mostly to international asset managers such as Fidelity, Greylock, T Rowe Price (often US based)* Oil-backed loans of about $15 billion, to be paid off in oil shipments (China and Russia)* Arbitration awards often based on nationalization/expropriation of (especially oil-related) assets: around $30 billion (US and Canada based creditors such as ConocoPhillips and Crystallex owed around $8-10 billion)This means there's a lot of issues that needs to be settled before Venezuela becomes a normal and substantial player in the world oil market. Besides, despite the exertions of Chevron, an American oil major that still has operations in Venezuela, I don't think it will be easy to ramp up production there, which has collapsed due to a variety of factors, including the non-availability of naphtha to make the very viscous, heavy crude from the Orinoco Belt more easily transportable.It is said, however, that a number of US refineries can indeed handle this heavy crude (incidentally Indian refineries such as Reliance's Jamnagar can as well) and so, over time, the oil will begin to flow, although it is going to cost quite a bit to get there. Their production was of the order of 3.5 million barrels per day in the 2010s, but it has fallen to about 1.1 million barrels now, as the result of infrastructure decay, mismanagement, corruption, and US sanctions.I have read estimates that it might take as much as $180 billion in investments over the next 10-15 years to bring Venezuela back online at scale. This means that any dreams of the US tapping Venezuela's vast oil reserves any time soon are unrealistic. Besides, that could lead to an oil glut, depressing global prices even below the current $50-60 levels, which has the side effect of making America's own shale-based oil production unviable.There is one good outcome, though: for neighboring Guyana. Venezuela had been threatening to go to war over Guyana's oil fields. Given that Guyana has a large Indian origin population, I am glad that at least some diaspora people are becoming oil rich. But then again, Trump may feel free to claim their oil too, who knows?All this suggests that, despite all the talk of seizing the largest oil reserves in the world, this is not the real reason behind the regime change.Summary: The oil issue is overblown, and nothing dramatic will happen short-term.What about the drug-running?There was a lot of noise about how Venezuelan gangs pushing drugs in the US was a major threat, and how that needs to be taken care of. However, on closer scrutiny, Venezuela is not a major producer of cocaine (production is almost entirely in Colombia, with smaller amounts from Peru and Bolivia). It serves as a minor transit country for some cocaine, mostly headed to Europe or the Caribbean rather than directly to the streets of America.Data from the UNODC (UN Office on Drugs and Crime) and the US DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) show no significant direct sea routes from Venezuela to the US; the only known direct route is limited air trafficking.DEA reports (including the 2025 National Drug Threat Assessment) and UNODC (World Drug Report 2025) consistently show Colombia as the overwhelming source of cocaine entering the US (around 84%+ of samples). Venezuela ranks low in direct contributions, with most US-bound cocaine transiting through Mexico/Central America via Pacific routes.Fentanyl trafficking into the United States follows a distinct supply chain, very different from plant-based drugs like cocaine. The overwhelming consensus from US authorities is that Mexico is the primary source of finished illicit fentanyl reaching the US, while China remains the main origin for the precursor chemicals needed to produce it.The fentanyl crisis is overwhelmingly a China to Mexico to US southwest border pipeline not linked to Venezuela or South America in any substantial way, per DEA, State Department, and congressional reporting.Summary: The talk about Venezuela's drug-running is a smoke-screen.Is it geopolitics then?The most interesting thing about the extraction of former Venezuelan President Maduro was not the dramatic flair with which it was done, though that was indeed very Youtube-ready. The helicopter gunships, the silenced air defences, the Cuban bodyguard eliminated (by a sonic weapon?): all the elements of a pretty exciting Hollywood film. I'm sure one is coming up soon.What was even more interesting, though, was that a delegation from the Chinese Communist Party had met him just a few hours before. China has been rather chummy with a fellow-socialist, and has been a good customer as an oil buyer. The fact that Maduro was extricated while the Chinese were still in Venezuela was a warning shot: besides, it suggests that they had no clue what was going to happenIn effect, it was a slap on the face of China, and it goes back to my belief that the US is investing in a G2 condominium with them. Stick and carrot, maybe? Collaborate in general in the spheres of influence concept, but hey, you better keep out of my sphere, ok? As I said earlier, China has made serious inroads into Latin America, which the US may now be hinting is simply not ok: stay in your lane, Xi! In simple terms, China will no longer have access to Venezuelan oil.The prognosis is grim: Russia and the EU are mired in the Ukraine mess, China is rampant (certainly in Asia, with their declared intent of invading Taiwan by 2027), the QUAD is more or less defunct. Trump refused to support Japanese premier Takaichi Sanae when she was bullied by the Chinese over her remark that if Taiwan were to be attacked by China, this would create a survival-threatening situation for Japan, which is literally true as Taiwan is only 70 miles away.Parenthetically, India has also realized the same about the US – that it is on its own – after what was quite likely a US-supported regime-change operation in Bangladesh has put the Hindu minority there in real danger of genocide and ethnic cleansing, with daily incidents of burning alive, murder, rape and abduction and threats of capturing Indian territory.The emerging situation in Iran is also likely to be a blow to China: they would lose one more source of cheap oil. But then, they do have buyer power: in other words, major oil producers do have to sell their stuff to somebody, and as China demonstrated in the case of soybeans from the US, its refusal to buy the stuff has severe consequences for the seller.So it is true that the US and China in general have to respect each other and trade with each other. This is perfectly feasible under the G2 condominium, the principal role of which is to give each of them a ‘playpen' if you will, and prevent a new power, e.g. India, from forcing its way into a G3. It appears they both are applying the Thucydides Trap to India.The US is still ahead of China in the geopolitical game, but if it continues to burn its bridges with its erstwhile allies and partners (such as the EU and Quad members) it will accelerate its relative decline. This is hardly the time to alienate potential partners, especially now that a belligerent NATO has pushed a reluctant Russia into the dhritarashtra-alinganam of China.Unfortunately, in geo-politics America is becoming less exceptional, and Henry Kissinger's quip that “it is dangerous to be America's enemy, but fatal to be its friend” is taking on a new urgency. The action in Venezuela (and possibly in Cuba before long) does not encourage other nations to look to the US for partnerships.Summary: The geopolitical fallout is not particularly good for America's image as an ally.It may well be economics, and a desperate fin-de-siecle lungeThe final issue is that of economics and economic history. Over the past several centuries, we have seen how those countries that hold the global reserve currency have prospered and have been financial hegemons to begin with, based on some substantial competitive advantage, but then a strange malady (“the Dutch disease”) sets in, and over time their financial clout diminishes, until at one point they become major debtors and then, they become irrelevant.This has happened several times in the past 800 or so years, and the patterns are strikingly similar, so there is a fair chance that it is happening again. The countries in question are:* Spain in the 16th century onwards* The Netherlands in the 17th century onwards* Britain in the 19th century onwards* And alas, the US in the 20th century onwardsNow, I would dearly wish the US could avoid this vicious cycle, partly because it is a continent-sized nation with immense resources, but I believe that economic profligacy, wasting money on unnecessary things like wars, and complacency fostered by easy money is leading to a mountain of debt, which usually is a bad place to be in. In each of these European examples, initial success inevitably led to collapse. I hope the US can avoid this fate, especially as warnings have been sounded for some time by experts such as Ray Dalio.Great economic powers, particularly those issuing the world's primary reserve currency, tend to follow a recurring historical cycle of rise, peak dominance, gradual (or sometimes rapid) decline, loss of competitiveness, mounting debt burdens, and eventual marginalization on the global stage. This pattern has repeated over the last 500+ years.The archetypal cycle often unfolds in phases:* Rise and dominance: Because of strong education, innovation, productivity, trade dominance, military power, and financial innovation create a virtuous cycle (this is the model that I have in mind of the US. But there is a second model: colonial loot. Spain stole trillions from Latin America, Britain from India. This too leads to (unearned) privilege). This leads to the currency becoming the preferred global medium for trade, reserves, and debt denomination.* Peak and overextension: Success breeds complacency, wealth inequality widens, debt accumulates (often to fund wars, welfare, or consumption), and costs rise relative to competitors. Besides, there is a form of the Resource Curse: the colonial loot or digging things out from a hole in a ground is so easy that all other industries wither away and die. We see this in Kerala today: remittances are easy money, so everybody wants to go to the Persian Gulf (skilled and unskilled labor) or Europe (nurses). Maybe the generativeAI bubble falls into the same category: the money is too easy.* Decline in competitiveness: Education and innovation lag, unit labor costs rise, trade shares erode, and emerging rivals catch up or surpass in productivity and technology. Too much by way of wokeness, social justice and related illnesses means the smart ones leave, and the dumb ones keep congratulating each other. Ruchir Sharma just wrote in the Financial Times about how the continuing exodus of skilled Indians is a big negative.* Debt buildup and financial strain: The “exorbitant privilege” of reserve status allows cheap borrowing, encouraging more debt. Deficits grow, and the currency is printed or devalued to manage burdens. Print, baby, print. But one day you have to pay the piper.* Marginalization: Confidence erodes (via inflation, devaluations, defaults, or crises), foreigners reduce holdings, and a new power's currency gains primacy. The reserve status lingers due to network effects and habit, but the issuing power loses geopolitical and economic centrality.Spain had its colonies in the Americas from which it extracted enormous amounts of gold and silver; the Dutch started the Amsterdam stock exchange and stepped into the vacuum of finance when Spain faltered; the British outcompeted the Dutch in colonization and in industrialization and defeated them in wars; and the US took over when Britain lost its colonies and had nowhere to dump its goods, and was in debt for its spending in World Wars I and II.Some of the symptoms of the “Dutch disease” are showing in the US: enormous debt, wars that have no clear benefit to the nation, loss of manufacturing, geopolitical challenges, loss of competitiveness and brand superiority in industry after industry.US investors are quietly moving their funds to other countries, while foreigners are quietly moving their money out of US treasuries (e.g. China has reduced its holdings from a high of $1.3 trillion in 2013 to $688 billion now) and into gold, the BRICS group is creating an alternative currency and a non-SWIFT settlement mechanism, and many countries are trading with each other bilaterally in local currencies. De-dollarization is a little far off but no longer implausible.Now, as a big supporter of the US, I do hope the dollar will continue to be supreme, but I am beginning to have my doubts. I have had faith in the US and its ability to re-invent itself on the brains of its immigrants, but I wonder if a post-MAGA US will be the beacon, the “City on the Hill”, “Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”. Maybe not any more. Perhaps cyclical decline, and the rot, are already too deep.This, in my opinion, is the real reason for Trump's little adventure in Venezuela: to be relevant in global finance for a little longer. The petrodollar has been the lifeline allowing the US to run substantial deficits for a long time. Because all transactions for oil have traditionally been mandated to be in dollars, there has been constant demand for the dollar, despite the loss of manufacturing (in other words, nobody needs dollars to buy US goods except a few like weapons, aircraft, and Big Tech software). But everybody needs it to buy oil.Trump is ensuring that Venezuela's giant oil reserves (the largest in the world) will now be sold in dollars, contrary to Maduro's plans to trade in yuan. This is deja vu: when Iraq's President Saddam Hussein planned to trade his oil in Euros in 2000, he found himself deposed. When Libya's President Muammar Gaddafi planned to trade his oil in a new currency called the ‘gold dinar' around 2009, he found himself deposed. Coincidence? Perhaps.This is why I have had the feeling that the Venezuela adventure does not show American strength, but rather American weakness. The dollar is in trouble, and thus the US welfare state. This is an attempt to shore it up.Summary: The real rationale behind the Venezuela regime-change is to ensure that de-dollarization is postponed at least for a while.3450 words, Jan 12, 2026.

A small BC registry faced an outsized problem: one litigant's avalanche of quasi‑legal letters and “certificates” that looked official enough to demand hours or days of staff time to sort, scan, and check. We trace how the Attorney General sought an injunction and how the court landed on a careful middle ground—no more bulk mail, but full access for legitimate filings in person, by agent, or through Court Services Online, with authority to discard items that don't meet the Rules of Court. It's a practical fix aimed at protecting open courts from being gamed by invented paperwork, without closing the door on real claims.From there, we pivot to the high‑stakes world of civil forfeiture and unexplained wealth orders in British Columbia. Unlike criminal forfeiture, these tools can target property without a conviction and sometimes on reasonable suspicion alone. We break down how the civil standard shifts burdens, why Section 8 privacy arguments matter, and what “in rem” actions mean when the state goes after assets rather than people. You'll hear how cross‑border conduct can still count as “unlawful activity,” what judicial discretion really looks like at this threshold, and why “constitutionally permissible” isn't the same as wise policy.Across both stories runs a shared question: how do we keep the justice system open, efficient, and fair when it's pulled between access and abuse, privacy and enforcement? We offer clear explanations, grounded examples, and practical context to help you form your own view on filing limits, registry triage, property rights, and the true cost of suspicion‑based powers. If this conversation helps you see the legal system with sharper edges, share it with a friend, subscribe for more thoughtful breakdowns, and leave a review to tell us where you stand.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.
Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF), joins me for an update on all the development work, metallurgical studies, and exploration results that will be feeding into the upcoming bulk sample, and 2-Phase economic studies around their 100% owned high-grade Perron Gold Project located in Quebec, Canada. Additionally, the Company has made 2 recent acquisitions in Ontario, in addition to staking claims, substantially increasing the size of their land position across this deformation zone of gold mineralization. We start off getting a sense of the high-grade nature from their updated Resource Estimate, hosting 2.3 million ounces of gold in all categories, with 1.615 million in Measured and Indicated, and 698,000 in Inferred. The largest portion of those resources come from the Champagne Zone, but with strong contributions from the Grey Cat, Gratien, Western Denise, and Team Zones. There have been metallurgical studies demonstrating above 95% recovery rates of the gold from these different zones, with upwards of 99% recovery rates at the Champagne Zone, using gravity separation on the front end and cyanidation on the back end, without the need for a flotation process in the middle. This keeps the processing very simple and straightforward. The workstreams are leading towards updated economics in Q1 of this year, envisioning an initial 4-5 year toll-milling scenario where high-grade ore is trucked to a nearby mill, generating the revenues to pay for the 2nd phase processing plant on their property. This will all be preceded by a coming bulk sample from the Champagne Zone that will produce enough gold during 2026 and early 2027 to generate ~$100Million at today's metals prices, and this will fund the move into toll milling from 2028 through 2032. The most recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) at US$2,500/oz gold Bas Case assumptions highlighted a Post-tax NPV5% of $1.085Billion, with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 70.1% and 1.4 year payback period. Victor outlined how these economics are far surpassed to the upside when factoring in the metals sensitivities of todays spot gold pricing backdrop. We also got into the exploration focus of the company that plans to drill 100,000 meters, from both around the known deposit at Perron, as well as their newly acquired Perron West, Abbotsford, Hepburn, and staked lands in Ontario, Canada.

Interview with Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals Inc.Recording date: 28th November 2025Silver Tiger Metals presents investors with a rare opportunity to gain exposure to a near-term silver production scenario backed by exceptional project economics, secured financing, and an experienced development team. The company has achieved a significant milestone in obtaining Mexico's first new mining permit since 2020, enabling development of the El Tigre bulk tonnage stockwork deposit in Sonora state with an 18-24 month construction timeline beginning January 2026.The project's pre-feasibility study demonstrates compelling financial metrics: an after-tax NPV of $750 million, a 92% internal rate of return, one-year capital payback, and projected annual cash flow exceeding $100 million once in production. These economics reflect current precious metals prices of approximately $31-32 per ounce silver and $2,700 per ounce gold, with sensitivity analysis showing substantial upside to higher metal prices. At $35 silver and US$3,000 gold, annual after-tax cash flow increases to $60 million.Silver Tiger's capital position differentiates the company from typical development-stage mining projects. With US$60 million in treasury against US$186 million total capital requirements, the company has deliberately avoided the constraints associated with debt-heavy financing structures. Management has secured debt financing options with favourable terms to be finalised in 2025, whilst maintaining sufficient cash reserves to pursue parallel objectives including underground mine advancement, regional exploration programmes, and early-stage work at satellite deposits.The execution risk profile benefits significantly from the appointment of Francisco Albelais, a Mexican mining engineer with 25 years of experience building and operating bulk tonnage mines in Sonora. From 2010 to 2023, Francisco built two 55,000 tonnes-per-day mines for Argonaut Gold, managing teams of 400 personnel through complete project lifecycles. He brings established contractor relationships and access to a 200-person construction team based in Hermosillo, approximately two hours from site.Critical preparatory work already completed includes final engineering scheduled for completion on December 2025, construction of a 53-kilometre all-weather access road capable of transporting mill components, and securing long-term power supply arrangements with Mexico's federal electricity regulator. The company will operate on generator sets during the 18-month construction period, transitioning to grid power within two years.Beyond the initial bulk tonnage operation, Silver Tiger will release a preliminary economic assessment in January 2026 for an 800 tonnes-per-day underground mine targeting high-grade silver mineralization. The underground resource contains 113 million silver-equivalent ounces, representing a 31-year mine life before considering exploration upside. The company has already purchased and delivered the processing mill to site.The broader investment case encompasses significant exploration potential across a 30-kilometre mineralized trend. Current resources of approximately 213 million silver-equivalent ounces (100 million bulk tonnage, 113 million underground) exist within only 2-3 kilometres of explored territory, with independent consultants identifying near-term potential for an additional 73-100 million ounces through infill drilling. Historical mines to the north and south offer district-scale discovery opportunities.At a current market capitalization of approximately $350 million versus $750 million NPV for the initial operation alone, Silver Tiger offers investors substantial re-rating potential as construction progresses and production de-risking occurs.View Silver Tiger Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/silver-tiger-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
