Across two gripping segments, the host pulls back the curtain on what they see as coordinated media silence, political complicity, and institutional collapse. First, a frustrated analysis of the elusive "Big Beautiful Bill" reveals a troubling lack of transparency—even among conservative outlets—amid warnings of debt downgrades, weakened financial institutions, and reckless monetary policy. Then, the focus shifts to a chilling story of 300,000 missing migrant children, reportedly handed off to unvetted sponsors with fake addresses under the Biden administration. With firsthand accounts from former officials and disturbing details of child exploitation, the host exposes what they call a systemic failure with devastating human consequences—all buried beneath layers of distraction and denial.

Despite wide recognition of water's essential role, water-related risks are increasing. Whether dealing with droughts or flooding, water can lead to significant challenges for individuals, communities, and businesses, requiring a robust water management strategy that identifies the risks, puts hazard mitigation actions in place, and leverages insurance as a final layer of protection. In this episode of Risk in Context, Marsh McLennan's Swenja Surminski and Daniel Kaniewski and Henk Ovink, Executive Director and Founding Commissioner for the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, discuss some of the water-related risks that businesses and communities are facing and examine risk management strategies that can enhance resilience and sustainability.

Jon said that when he first discovered the design operations community at the 2019 Design Ops Summit in Brooklyn, it felt like coming home. Here was this entire tribe of people who cared about the same things he'd been passionate about for years—creating systems that help designers do their best work. In this episode, I'm talking with Jon Fukuda, co-founder of Limina.co, about how design operations has evolved from an unnamed set of practices into a vital discipline that drives organizational excellence. As organizations continue to face economic pressures, the conversation around design operations has become more critical than ever. How do we demonstrate the strategic value of design teams? How can operational excellence serve not just designers but business outcomes? Jon shares insights from his 20+ year journey—from early days defining UX practice models to his current role as a design ops leader and community builder. This conversation reveals how the best design operations leaders think beyond tooling and process to focus on team health, cross-functional partnerships, and systems that elevate both human-centered practices and business innovation. Whether you're considering a move into design ops or looking to strengthen your design leadership approach, Jon's practical wisdom offers a roadmap for driving operational excellence in complex organizations. Questions you'll be able to answer after listening: How might we structure the first 30-60-90 days in a new design operations role for maximum impact? What key misconceptions about design operations could undermine your effectiveness as a leader? When should design ops be positioned under product teams versus operating as a horizontal function? Why do organizations often view design teams as expendable during economic downturns, and how can we change that perception? How can design operations leaders demonstrate their impact on both team health and business outcomes? About Jon Fukuda Jon Fukuda is co-founder of Limina.co with over 20 years of experience as a user experience specialist. With expertise in UX strategy, design thinking, and UI design, Jon has led teams through human-centered requirements gathering, strategy development, interaction design, testing, and evaluation. His career journey started in the late 1990s when "user experience" was just being defined, giving him a unique perspective on how design practices have evolved. Most recently, Jon has dedicated his efforts to research and design operations facilitation for scalable, sustainable human-centered systems. His passion for operational excellence makes him a respected voice in the design ops community.

Buying US Treasury securities was all the rage among foreign investors in March, despite whatever turmoil there was in the media. All foreign investors combined, from central banks to private investors, increased their holdings of Treasury securities by $233 billion in March from February, and by $942 billion over the past 12 months, to a record $9.05 trillion (red in the chart). The majority of what they bought were long-term Treasury securities, which increased by $133 billion to a record $7.63 trillion, according to data by the Treasury Department Friday afternoon (blue in the chart). The buying was across the major holders, except for China and Hong Kong combined, and for Ireland. Of particular note: Canada's holdings of Treasury securities spiked majestically in February and March, despite the tariffs and the ultra-sour mood in Canada about US-anything. Increases in March, and total Treasury holdings: United Kingdom: +$29 billion, to $779 billion Luxembourg: unchanged, at $412 billion Cayman Islands: +$37 billion to $455 billion Ireland: -10 billion to $329 billion Belgium: +$7 billion to $402 billion Switzerland: +$21 billion to $312 billion.

At the domestic level, Indian stock markets would be focussed more developments such as progress of monsoon, corporate results and economic data. Talks on tariff-related issues with the US will also impact sentiment. Moody's downgrade, they said, was more to get the rating in sync with Fitch and S&P, who have already downgraded US' ratings.

The Chinese Communist Party's complex and contradictory embrace of capitalism has played a pivotal role in shaping China's economic reforms since the late 1970s. The Bird and the Cage: China's Economic Contradictions (Palgrave MacMillan, 2025) explores the persistent tensions between state control and market forces in China. It shows how these tensions provide a framework to understand Xi Jinping's recent efforts to tighten control over the Chinese economy. It also evaluates the broader implications of these policies for China's economic trajectory and its global trade relationships.

In this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, host Dan Johnson speaks with Andrew McKean about his journey from a small-town newspaper editor to a prominent outdoor writer and conservation advocate. They discuss the allure of the American West, the evolution of outdoor magazines, and the current threats to public lands, including proposed legislation that could lead to significant land sales. McKean emphasizes the importance of public land for hunting and conservation, sharing insights on the implications of recent legislative actions. In this conversation, Dan Johnson and Andrew McKean delve into the complexities surrounding public land sales, hunting opportunities, and the implications of budgetary decisions on land management. They discuss the value of public lands, the advocacy surrounding them, and the potential risks of selling these lands. The conversation highlights the importance of multiple uses of public lands, the economic implications for local communities, and the political dynamics at play. They emphasize the need for effective messaging to representatives regarding public land issues and the legislative processes that can impact these lands. Takeaways: Andrew McKean reflects on the joy of rain after a drought in Montana. His family history includes a connection to the Rough Riders and a legacy of moving west. The allure of the West is tied to hunting opportunities and public land access. Transitioning from newspaper work to outdoor writing allowed McKean to combine his passions. The digital age has transformed outdoor magazines, increasing content output but changing storytelling dynamics. Public lands are facing unprecedented threats, with significant land sales proposed in Congress. The proposed land sales include areas in Utah and Nevada, raising concerns about conservation and development. McKean highlights the importance of public input in land management decisions. The mining of public lands raises questions about economic benefits and environmental impacts. The conversation underscores the need for vigilance in protecting public lands. Public lands provide significant hunting opportunities and community benefits. The narrative around public land sales is often complicated and contentious. Budgetary concerns are driving some public land management decisions. The process for selling public lands should involve public input. Multiple uses of public lands should be recognized beyond hunting and fishing. Economic implications of public land sales affect local ranchers and communities. Wealthy individuals may seek to purchase public lands for investment. Political dynamics can influence the future of public land sales.

High tariffs are a major concern for traders, but the bigger problem is just figuring out what they're going to be.
Carol Roth returns for a breakdown of Trump's tariffs and a nuanced examination of America's economic challenges. She and Bridget discuss the tariffs' disproportionate impact on the 35 million small businesses in the US, the alarming debt-to-GDP ratio that has reached unsustainable levels, the truth about American companies with overseas supply chains, the prevailing misconceptions about tariffs, and why a precision approach to the tariffs would have been much better. They discuss the realities of manufacturing, why there's no getting around math, a potential debt spiral, the stability of the US dollar, why we shouldn't throw the baby doll out with the bathwater, and how to best prepare for the death of a loved one.

Today Jason covers a few key real estate investing strategies. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging properties with high loan balances for inflation-induced debt destruction and better insurance claim handling. He advises against paying off mortgages, highlighting tax benefits and the "refi till you die" plan. He introduces the concept of a "perpetual motion machine" in real estate, using cash flow from existing properties to acquire more, similar to a leveraged buyout and the "flywheel" effect. He stresses persistence despite challenges, sharing his early struggles and the long-term benefits of income property investing. Then Jason and Les Rubin discuss the critical issues of entitlements, government size, and the tax code in relation to US economic stability. They explore the potential of converting Social Security to private accounts and the challenges of reforming the current entitlement programs, acknowledging the need for public education and a shift in attitude.

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the division of labor before introducing Dr. Charles N. Steele. Capitalism rewards man with profit or punishes him with loss, depending on the merit of his actions. It expresses the freedom and rationality of human nature in an economic system. The capitalist system depends upon private property rights, the freedom of exchange and contract, sound money, and the rule of law that supports all of these through formal and informal structures. Such a system encourages innovation and morality along with economic prosperity. Economic production refers to the production of value. As human innovation creates new forms of value, a division of labor emerges to meet the demand for these new goods and services.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My guest is Dr. Christopher Gardner, Ph.D., professor of medicine and director of nutrition studies at Stanford. He is known for his pioneering research on the impact of dietary interventions on weight loss and health. We compare ketogenic, vegetarian, vegan and omnivorous diets—and why there is no one-size-fits-all approach. All agree, however, that eliminating or dramatically reducing processed foods is best for health. We discuss the protein needs controversy; plant vs. animal proteins; the importance of fiber and low-sugar fermented foods for gut health and inflammation; and how diet affects gene expression. We also review food allergies—including gluten, wheat, dairy and soy—as well as raw dairy. The episode offers data-supported advice for healthier eating.
