Hugh Hendry, "The Acid Capitalist," returns to the Julia La Roche Show. Hendry breaks down his "macro compass" portfolio framework: 25% equities (overweight Japanese stocks after their 35-year breakout), 25% US treasuries (buying TLT after a 50% decline), 25% alternatives (Bitcoin over gold due to market cap), and 25% strategic cash. His thesis: the treasury market is so large (100% of GDP) that it's prevented inflation despite massive deficit spending, but AI will cause 20% unemployment within 2-3 years. That unemployment will force governments into redistribution mode, finally breaking the system's ability to contain inflation. He discusses why tech valuations are near peak, why the yen carry trade matters, and why sterling may be the first major currency to collapse as the UK's service economy gets hit hardest by AI displacement.Hendry founded Eclectica Asset Management, a global macro hedge fund that was pretty much uncorrelated to everything in the financial universe. Hugh started Eclectica in 2002 and ran for 15 years before closing in 2017. He made more than 30% in 2008 betting against banks.This episode is brought to you by VanEck. Learn more about the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF: http://vaneck.com/REMXJuliaLinks: Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hendry_hugh Substack: https://hughhendry.substack.com/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-acid-capitalist-podcast/id1511187978 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HughHendryOfficial00:00 - Intro00:52 - The macro compass: 4 quadrant portfolio framework03:52 - Quadrant 1: Equities & why Hugh loves Japanese stocks06:10 - Pattern recognition: Buying 35-year breakouts08:32 - Quadrant 2: US treasuries (TLT) after 50% collapse10:35 - The AI singularity & 20% unemployment prediction12:48 - Cheap labor is over: The end of the China era15:07 - Why corporations will shed jobs (but won't admit it yet)18:37 - Quadrant 3: Gold vs Bitcoin - market cap analysis22:03 - Why Hugh prefers Bitcoin over gold25:46 - The currency quadrant: Which currencies to hold28:15 - Why the dollar may weaken despite being "king"32:28 - Hugh's trade of the year: Yen carry unwind38:42 - The reflexivity problem: AI makes everything cheaper43:15 - Why we didn't get hyperinflation despite massive printing48:29 - The treasury market as a "fire gap" stopping inflation53:14 - Tech valuations: Are we in a bubble?58:36 - Why Hugh thinks we're near peak valuations1:02:44 - Why the treasury market stopped inflation (100% of GDP)1:04:31 - The chaos trigger: 20% unemployment will break everything1:05:00 - Youth unemployment & the rise of socialist politics1:06:23 - NYC mayor & the "no billionaires" movement1:07:06 - The UK disaster: Disability spending & currency collapse1:09:34 - Sterling as first currency casualty of AI

Send us a textHeadlines say the VA system is broken and rife with abuse. Our conversation with Marine veteran Clayton Sims tells a different story—one grounded in lived experience, policy fluency, and a community-first approach to getting claims right without fear or costly consultants.Clayton shares how a rough transition and a hurried VSO visit pushed him to learn the language of 38 CFR and the evidence behind service connection. We unpack the realities of infantry life—miles in boots under load, daily wear that wrecks feet, ankles, and backs—and why conditions like flat feet and sleep apnea aren't punchlines, they're predictable outcomes. We also go deeper than combat. MST, toxic command climates, uneven medical boards, and administrative limbo can all drive mental health injuries that are real and compensable when documented properly.We cut through the noise about “rampant fraud” with data: far fewer veterans file than most assume, and only a portion reach 100 percent. The bigger problem is confusion. Clayton maps the routes that actually win—direct, secondary, aggravation, presumptive, MUCMI—and the kinds of evidence that matter: deployment health assessments, awards narratives, buddy statements, specialty opinions, and clear medical links. He explains how CivDiv helps veterans self-advocate or meet VSOs prepared, flipping the script on an industry that profits from complexity.If you've felt overwhelmed by forms and jargon, you'll walk away with a clearer path and a stronger mindset. And beyond claims, Clayton leaves a vital reminder: don't isolate. Find your circle—online, at a VFW, through church, or with a few trusted friends—because community can save time, money, and lives.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a veteran who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest question about VA claims.

Advocates have called it a ‘nightmare scenario for disabled people'.

Today on the LOOPcast, we break down America's new “Accommodation Nation,” where elite campuses are flooded with disability claims and students can't pass middle-school math. We look at why most Americans now say college isn't worth it, then unpack Trump's new Invest America accounts and the Dells' multi-billion-dollar boost. Plus: big Catholic converts at ASU, a key conservative win in Tennessee, the Word of the Year (“rage bait”), and the rise of therapy as a religion.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Welcome back to LOOPcast!4:53 - Breaking News Trump pardons Cuellar7:23 - Rise of students claiming disability accommodations41:30 - Trump Accounts for children49:00 - Josh's early twilight zone59:18 - Good news1:07:52 - Wikipedia 2025 top searches1:12:00 Twilight ZoneEMAIL US: loopcast@catholicvote.org SUPPORT LOOPCAST: www.loopcast.orgThis podcast is sponsored by Charity Mobile!

This episode honors the life and legacy of Alice Wong (Mar 27, 1974-Nov 14, 2025). We start the show with the Making Contact segment she produced in 2015, exploring the complex relationships between caregivers and care receivers: the vast majority of care recipients are exclusively receiving unpaid care from a family member, friend, or neighbor. The rest receive a combination of family care and paid assistance, or exclusively paid formal care. Whether you're a paid home care provider, or rely on personal assistance to meet your daily needs, or a family member caring for a loved one, the nature of the working relationship depends on mutual respect and dignity. The segment includes a conversation with Patty Berne, co-founder of Sins Invalid, who passed away in May 2025. The show continues with an excerpt from Wong's powerful essay, [Diversifying Radio with Disabled Voices](https://focmedia.org/2016/04/diversifying-radio-with-disabled-voices/), which is a powerful call for better inclusion and representation of disabled voices in audio journalism. The episode closes with Alice's reading of Laura Hershey's 1991 poem You Get Proud by Practicing. Featuring: Camille Christian, home care provider and SEIU member Brenda Jackson, home care provider and SEIU member Patty Berne, co-founder and director, Sins Invalid Jessica Lehman, executive director, San Francisco Senior and Disability Action Kenzi Robi, president, San Francisco IHSS (In Home Supportive Services) Public Authority Governing Body Rachel Stewart, queer disabled woman passionate about disability and employment issues Alana Theriault, disability benefits counselor in Berkeley, California Ingrid Tischer, director of development, Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (DREDF) Episode Credits: Host: Jessica Partnow and Laura Flynn Segment Producer: Alice Wong Executive Director: Jina Chung Engineer: Jeff Emtman  Digital Media Marketing: Lissa Deonarain Music: Dexter Britain: The Time To Run (Finale),  Gillicuddy: Adventure, Darling,  Steve Combs: March,  Jason Shaw: Running Waters,  Jared C.

A Guardian Australia exclusive report has revealed details of a planned major overhaul to the national disability insurance scheme. Under the new model, funding and support plans will be generated by a computer, with human involvement dramatically reduced. Senior reporter Kate Lyons speaks to Nour Haydar about what this means for the more than 750,000 Australians relying on the scheme, and why some staff and disability advocates are raising the alarm

Amy MacIver speaks to Karen Mara Moss — CEO of STEPS, a non-profit that has spent 20 years transforming clubfoot care in South Africa. Through 48 public health clinics across all nine provinces, STEPS has already gathered anonymised, POPIA-compliant data on more than 12,000 children, proving how practical, ethical, low-cost data systems can change clinical outcomes and shape national planning.

S9 E5 — There is a lot of conversation right now about the role of women and men in society. Whether we're talking about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal or the viral essay "The Great Feminization" and all the commentary it sparked, it's clear we're in a cultural moment where we don't quite know how to talk about men and women. Should we see men and women as interchangeable? What does equality look like when our bodies are not the same? Can we admit our neediness and maintain our dignity as women or as men?

In this episode of The Compendium, we dive into the wild, beautiful, and often brutal life of Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo is the artist who turned her pain into power. From the accident that shattered her spine to the politics, love affairs, and Diego Rivera drama that filled her world, Frida painted every heartbreak straight onto the canvas. And today I'm going to tell Adam all about it as we explore her bold self-portraits, her surrealism before it had a name, and how a woman once dismissed as “Diego's wife” became a global symbol of art, rebellion, and self-expression, from La Casa Azul to the Tate Modern.

Some CEOs hide behind the veil of invulnerability. Michael Paul, Ph.D., does the opposite—he believes that real leadership starts with choosing trust over armor. Michael was deeply influenced by the wisdom of Patrick Lencioni, never choose "invulnerability over trust."As CEO of MARAbio, he is helping build a company that knows exactly why it exists: to use maternal immune science to help eradicate the most severe forms of autism, giving families earlier answers and more hope. On this episode of Imperfect Leaders, Michael unpacks how that clear purpose shapes every hard conversation with parents, clinicians, investors, and his own team—and how a leadership style that embraces his heart, mind, and soul (psychological safety), and a culture grounded in honesty makes it possible to tackle obstacles as big as autism itself.www.imperfectleaders.com

What's it like navigating the world as a disabled parent? Datshiane Navanayagam speaks to two women from the US and Italy about the reality of parenting with a disability and about why it's important to reconsider some of the common misconceptions that exist within society around the kind of life that disabled mothers can provide for their children. Jessica Slice is an American disabled author, speaker and essayist who now lives in Toronto with her husband and two children. She was diagnosed with an autonomic nervous system disorder in her twenties after a strenuous hike while on holiday in Greece. The condition changed her life forever – requiring her to use a wheelchair and sometimes experiencing chronic pain - but it also made her consider having children, seriously for the very first time. Her book, Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges An Inaccessible World chronicles some of the obstacles that disabled parents face, and examines the societal beliefs that underpin those barriers.Laura Coccia from Italy is a former Paralympian who is now a representative at the European Disability Forum. She now lives in Brussels and says she faces stigma everyday as a mother with a form of cerebral palsy. She wrote a weekly online diary about her pregnancy as a disabled woman in 2019, giving a candid insight to some of the challenges she faced, but also how she was going through the same things as any other pregnant woman. She has also co-authored a children's book called La Sedia Magica della Mamma, created to show disability not as an obstacle but as a natural part of life.Producer: Emily Naylor and Hannah Dean(Image: Jessica Slice (L).

Our guests this week are Dave Tolmie of Lake Forest IL and Tumsifu Munuo, of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.In 1999, Dave Tomlie's parents, John and Joann, raised $250,000 and with the help of the Lutheran Church built Faraja School, a boarding school for one hundred K-7 youth with physical disabilities, where Tumsifu serves as director.  In addiiton to the Faraja School, the Tolmie family created the Faraja Fund Foundation where Dave and his brothers have been instramentally involved for decades.  John serves as vice-president, Paul is secretary/treasurer, and Dave is chairman of the board of directors.More recently the Faraja Fund Foundation created Faraja Forward a mobile outreach clinic and partnership with local health care providers as well as other specialists to serve families beyond those able to attend Faraja School.  Faraja Forward is filling the unmet healthcare needs of hundreds of additional children in more remote locations, offering diagnosis, psychosocial support, physical and occupational therapy, and training to mothers and village health workers.It's an uplifting story about how a U.S. family has been able to transform the lives of thousands of families half way around the world through faith, education and building community around those touched by physical disabilities, all on this episode of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast. Show Links - Phone – (312) 927-5010Email – dmtolmie@gmail.comWhatsApp - +255 757 594 204Email – munuotumsifu4@gmail.comLinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-tolmie-b3339889/  Website –  https://www.farajaschool.org/Special Fathers Network -SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.  There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.Check out the 21CD YouTube Channel with dozens of videos on topics relevant to dads raising children with special needs - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzDFCvQimWNEb158ll6Q4cA/videosPlease support the SFN.

“Growing up with a disability was hard. When you're a kid, all the other kids want to know what's wrong, why you walk like that, and why you do certain things,” Jenna said. Jenna is a 28-year-old disabled woman living in Reno, Nevada. She's been navigating her disability her entire life. When Jenna was an infant, she suffered a stroke, which resulted in severe deficiencies on the left side of her body. Jenna's left hand often takes a hooked position due to the lack of strength in her wrist, and her left foot turns outwards, making it difficult to walk. But Jenna is not alone; more than 1 in 4 adults live with some type of disability in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC. “I didn't start walking when everyone else my age did. I would walk on my tippy toes, I wore casts, and I would fall over places. I couldn't be alone.” she said. Jenna has come a long way since then. In early October Jenna got engaged to her fiancé, Jon. Now the couple lives together in a small townhouse in South Reno, along with Jon's 6-year-old daughter. Jenna plays an active role in Jon's daughter's life, often being the main caretaker of her while Jon is working. Audio minidoc by Sara Ewing-Garcia.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!Public safety, disability rights, and remote work collide in a courtroom story with real‑world consequences. We walk through how two veteran gas dispatchers, armed with a two‑year record of high performance from home, challenged a return‑to‑office mandate—and won a sweeping jury verdict that included $2 million in punitive damages.We start with the nuts and bolts: what dispatchers actually do, why their work is safety critical yet desk‑based, and how secure laptops and telephony kept operations running during lockdown. From there, we trace the pivot: accommodations granted, then revoked; medical department approvals clashing with labor threats; and the extraordinary step of cutting off paid sick leave while approving FMLA. The defense centered on public safety, citing catastrophic explosions and onsite backups, but the plaintiffs countered with hard numbers, overtime logs, and a key question: if home connectivity was truly life‑or‑death, why were no safeguards required during two years of remote operations?We unpack the legal thresholds under the ADA and New York State law, then show how the New York City Human Rights Law flips the burden, forcing employers to prove an accommodation won't work or creates undue hardship. The judge sent the case to a jury, finding genuine disputes over what counts as an essential function for a dispatcher. The verdict? A decisive rejection of the “office presence is essential” defense, substantial back pay and emotional distress awards, and punitive damages signaling reckless disregard for rights. The takeaway is practical and profound: documented remote success now sets the benchmark, and employers must bring specific, quantifiable evidence—not speculative risk—to deny accommodations.If you care about modern workplace law, unionized environments, or how post‑pandemic facts are rewriting “essential functions,” this deep dive offers a clear playbook and cautionary tale.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!A top performer with a life-threatening migraine condition built a 15-year career, earned awards, and worked remotely with a documented accommodation—until a post-merger culture shift demanded office presence and everything changed. We walk you through the allegation-filled timeline: the hot leads routed to younger men in the New York office, the confrontation that preceded a stroke doctors tied to job stress, and the series of decisions that, the complaint says, turned a medical safeguard into a career liability.We dig into the mechanics of discrimination and retaliation claims: how account assignments can become tools of pretext, why a disputed Citadel loss matters years later, and what it means when a PIP leans on contested narratives despite recent high performance. You'll hear how the continuing violations doctrine can bridge older incidents into a timely hostile environment claim, and why plausibility at the motion-to-dismiss stage hinges on a minimal inference—not courtroom proof. The distinction between granting an ADA accommodation and honoring it in practice sits at the core: resources withheld for remote staff, an ultimatum to attend training in person despite written permission, and the message that office presence equals opportunity.We also examine leadership statements that allegedly acknowledged past bias, rapid promotions for younger male colleagues, and the juxtaposition of a 2023 sales excellence award with a 2024 PIP. The legal stakes are high: timeliness defenses, comparator debates, and whether penalizing a stroke survivor's accommodation can be seen as extreme and outrageous conduct. Ultimately, we ask a broader question many workplaces face now: when office-first culture collides with health, is performance enough to protect an employee whose life depends on remote work?If this deep dive helped you see the issues more clearly, follow the show, share this episode with a colleague, and leave a quick review telling us where you stand on accommodations versus culture.

The first time Alex Espinoza got cruised, he felt as if a “mutant power” had been awakened inside him. This new internal radar helped him find secret sex spaces where he uncovered another hidden strength: his dick gave him power over men who might have otherwise rejected a queer Latino man with a disability. Using his special gifts, Alex was able to build his self-confidence and dispel the feelings of shame he says are common for queer people from immigrant families. It also gave him plenty of material for his hit 2019 book “Cruising: An Intimate History of a Radical Pastime”. In this episode, Alex teaches Gabe, Chris, and our listeners what he’s learned from a lifetime of cruising, and offers practical tips for queer cruisers of color and queer cruisers with disabilities.

As managers and employees, how can we ensure that we support equitable disability accommodations for everyone?

Luckily, there are experts like Rachel Shaw out there to shed light on their intricacies and help educate us all.Rachel is a leading strategist in workplace inclusion and disability compliance and the author of “The Disabled Workforce: What the ADA Never Anticipated.” She joins me to add clarity to the laws in place to protect people with disabilities—including mental health and pregnancy—and ensure we have access to an equitable work environment that allows us all to be productive contributors, whatever differences of ability we might experience in our lifetimes. Understand your rights and responsibilities around disability inclusion:The most proactive and effective way to ask for an accommodation;The essential accommodation process every organization needs to develop;How much it really costs companies to approve employee requests;What's missing from the ADA and how it's being addressed.Related Links:Connect with Rachel Shaw on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-shaw-00037745/Learn more about Rachel's work - https://rachelshaw.com/Buy “The Disabled Workforce” - https://www.amazon.com/Disabled-Workforce-What-Never-Anticipated/dp/1544708599Episode 390, How to Manage ADHD in the Workplace - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode390Episode 460, Balancing Work with a Complicated Pregnancy - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode460Episode 123, Pursuing a Promotion While Pregnant - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode123Episode 335, What do mom-friendly Workplaces look like and how to create them - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode335   Episode 311, How to Talk About Marital Status, Parental Status, and Pregnancy in the Interview - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode311Episode 315, How to Talk About Disability or Chronic Illness in the Job Interview - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode315LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last week we sat down for an interview with trauma expert Dr. Karyn Harvey and today the three of us are unpacking all of our feelings about it. We're asking ourselves some pretty heavy questions about trauma and intellectual disability.Do our kids really encounter trauma every time they step out the front door?Are we holding our children to unrealistic standards and expectations for behavior?Do the benefits of an inclusive education outweigh the trauma that comes with it?Why have our kids never been offered mental health support at any of their regular screenings?Here's what we know for certain: our children with intellectual disabilities understand when they are being excluded. And it's our job to remind them just how incredibly lucky this world is to have them in it. Friends, we hope your children receive the mental health support they need so they can become exactly who they are meant to be.SHOW NOTESLearn more from Dr. Karyn Harvey and read her publications here.

When you have a child with a disability or other medical complexity, the holidays can feel like a minefield, as trauma triggers, anxiety, and grief for what we wish the holidays could have been for our families lurk around every corner.And on top of that, having to manage schedules, special diets, gift expectations, and uncomfortable commentary from friends and family can be emotionally and physically draining. The season often leaves parents of disabled children feeling left out, over-worked –and occasionally– like the celebrations might just be more trouble than they're worth.In today's episode, Amanda Griffith-Atkins and I discuss listener feedback and contributions about how complicated the holiday season feels for parents of disabled children, suggestions for how to make the holiday season feel just a little bit more manageable, and how adjusting our expectations has made a big difference for each of our families.And a big thanks to our sponsor for this episode, the makers of the incredible documentary, The Zebra & The Bear!Links:Watch The Zebra & The Bear (coming to streaming platforms the day after Thanksgiving!)Join Sticker Club!

We chat with Becca Monteleone — author of The Double Bind of Disability: How Medical Technology Shapes Bodily Authority — about the critical intersection of disability and technology. Among many things, we get into the politics of how knowledge about the effects, experiences, and treatments for disability are produced, who has the authority to produce that knowledge, and who must be compliant to the power of that knowledge. ••• The Double Bind of Disability How Medical Technology Shapes Bodily Authority | Rebecca Monteleone https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517917685/the-double-bind-of-disability/ Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).

Living with a disability shouldn't mean fighting for basic care—but for far too many, it does.

Together, she and Lyndsay dig into the emotional weight of being your own best (and sometimes only) advocate, the role of integrative therapies in real healing, and the urgent need for accessibility—not just in buildings, but in policy, mindset, and care.This conversation is a call to action. It's about moving beyond survival, demanding better, and building community-powered support for those who live with disabilities every single day.Tune in if you're tired of waiting for the system to change—and ready to help change it yourself.Find Chanda Hinton Online Here:Website: www.chandacenter.orgInstagram: @chandacenterforhealthFacebook: Chanda Center for HealthLinkedIn: Chanda Center for HealthYouTube: Chanda Center for HealthFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights: (00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(02:09) Personal Experiences with Chronic Pain(06:14) The Journey of Advocacy and Healthcare Reform(16:58) The Chanda Center for Health and Its Mission(26:43) Challenges in the Healthcare System(37:38) The Importance of Advocacy and Community SupportSubscribe on YouTube | Merch is Coming (Finally) | This Is More Than a PodcastUnfiltered convos.

Send us a Text Message - include your name!In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy reflect on discipleship and a recent conference Andy attended, one Eric was somewhat grateful to have missed. The conversation moves beyond conference highlights and into the reality of everyday following. Andy invites Eric to share how he understands true discipleship, not as a program or event, but as a way of life shaped by Jesus, formed in community, and practiced in the ordinary rhythms of the week. Together, they explore what it really means to walk with others, be shaped over time, and stay faithful in the slow, unseen places where real formation happens.  The title, More Obscure Than Scott Vander Ploeg, is a playful homage to Paul Vanderklay's praise of the conference's host pastor. It carries both humor and respect, nodding to the kind of quiet, faithful leadership that often goes unnoticed but makes a lasting impact. Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW BEYOND SUBSCRIPTIONS1.
