Luke Gromen makes the case that “debasement” isn't a trade, it's the new regime. We unpack why assets look strong in dollars yet stagnate in gold/Bitcoin terms, the global reserves shift back toward gold, how a U.S. gold reprice to $10k–$20k could fund a balance-sheet reset, the risks of “paper gold,” Bitcoin's potential catch-up (and a possible East=gold, West=BTC split), AI as an accelerant, and a pragmatic portfolio framework for navigating a 100-year reset. ------

Here's what you'll get in this one. Kevin and Sean press on the question “What is masculinity in 2025” and why the answer keeps changing. From aging mailers to modern medicine to how politics touches everything you do, they frame the conversation without wagging fingers. If you are tired of buzzwords and want straight talk, this sets the table. We pressure test today's masculine archetypes against work, family, health, and money. Think confidence versus control, security versus risk, and care versus performance. It is not a lecture. It is lived experience filtered through decades on the road and in boardrooms, gyms, rinks, and locker rooms. We also zoom out. Markets, gold fever, tariffs, and why “guaranteed” returns feel different when groceries climb. Creative control, royalties, and the corporate shell game show up as mirrors for how men measure value and status. The wrestling lens is a tool here. It keeps the theory honest. Culture check. GQ's stats on comfort, leadership, and stay at home fatherhood meet beard trimmers, GLP shots, TRT, and the quiet grind to stay useful. Sports habits, Florida Man vs Jersey Guy, and a pile of match stipulations add the fun. The live Q&A in the 11Soft Club pulls viewers into the ring. Bring a take. Expect a counter.

Jim and Andi discuss the Gold Sauce at the Golden Arches and the Gold Standard mentioned int he new SAMHSA Priorities.

Mark Thornton lays the groundwork for understanding gold and silver before politics gets involved. Mark explains why monetary metals emerge from market “evolution,” how their non-consumptive use creates massive above-ground stocks, and why the same metal serves multiple markets (money vs. consumption) with one price. He explains how demand shifts trigger conservation and recycling, why new mining lags price spikes, how “near-monies” substitute when people economize on cash balances, and why any apparent stability (even par relationships) reflects underlying market conditions, not decree. Today's price volatility is largely the artifact of intervention, not the metals themselves.Be sure to follow Minor Issues at https://Mises.org/MinorIssues

Key narrative decision to depict Superman as a good but misguided character shaped by Russian upbringing and Soviet-era values was emphasized by Case and J. Mike, highlighting his susceptibility to manipulation by figures like Stalin and Brainiac. The movie diverges from the comic by portraying Lex Luthor as a morally positive U.S. leader, married to Lois Lane, who is fully integrated into his political life. This creative choice aimed to balance the story by making Lex a relatable protagonist, reinforcing a pro-American slant, likely influenced by current political climates. The film's thematic focus on Superman's idealism clashing with harsh realities underlines his internal conflict and the consequences of unchecked power. Market-wise, this adaptation seeks to draw in audiences interested in alternate superhero narratives with geopolitical undertones, broadening Superman's appeal beyond typical fans. The three-act structure reflecting phases of Superman's evolution (young idealist, political figure, and authoritarian leader) was retained, but with streamlined storytelling to fit the film's 90-minute format (19:17). Original elements like the character Svetlana were introduced to establish Superman's early influences and set the tone for his eventual manipulation. The film's use of Soviet-era iconography and Gregorian chants enhances immersion and aids audience understanding of the setting. This structure supports clear character arcs and audience engagement despite the complex political backdrop. Character and Relationship Dynamics The film notably improves on character relationships, particularly between Lex Luthor and Lois Lane, making them a committed and supportive couple, which contrasts sharply with the comic's estranged dynamic (21:52). Lois Lane's evolution from independent journalist to First Lady strengthens the political narrative and adds emotional depth to the story. Her conflict with Lex over the “Superior Man” experiment adds dramatic tension while humanizing both characters. Lois serves as a moral anchor, showing resistance to some of Lex's harsher decisions, preserving her agency within the political framework. This dynamic was designed to maintain audience sympathy and avoid alienating fans of classic Lois Lane. The characterization of Wonder Woman diverges from the comic by presenting her as a lesbian ambassador skeptical of men, which adds a feminist layer but also generated mixed reactions due to its repetitive messaging (13:11). Her breaking of the lasso of truth and subsequent power drain symbolize disillusionment with Superman's regime. The film portrays Wonder Woman as more powerful than Superman and as a conflicted figure torn between loyalty and opposition. These changes serve to enhance the narrative's emotional stakes and highlight ideological divides within the Soviet leadership. Batman's grimmer portrayal with willingness to accept collateral damage introduces a morally ambiguous antagonist motivated by personal loss, deepening the plot complexity (45:06). His vendetta against Superman is grounded in the death of his parents in a gulag, providing emotional weight to their conflict. The film reduces the supporting cast compared to the comic, focusing more tightly on core characters to enhance storytelling clarity. Political and Ideological Themes The film embeds a strong political subtext, portraying Superman as a tool of the Soviet state, subject to manipulation by Stalin and later Brainiac, exploring themes of authoritarianism and propaganda (59:14). The depiction of Stalin's regime and the gulags is stark, providing a critical lens on Soviet atrocities, which Superman initially ignores due to naivety (28:34). Superman's assassination of Stalin is a pivotal moment symbolizing a break from oppressive rule but also the beginning of his own moral decline. The film's anti-Russian bias reflects American perspectives prevalent at the time of production. This political framing underscores the dangers of absolute power and state control over individuals. The presence of Brainiac as a manipulative force amplifies the narrative of Superman's loss of agency, positioning Brainiac as the true power behind the Soviet regime in the latter acts (01:00:33). Brainiac's control enables technological advances but also enforces oppressive mind control, with Superman complicit but unaware of the extent. This adds a sci-fi layer illustrating how technology can be weaponized politically. Brainiac's role serves as both a plot device and a commentary on surveillance and control. The contrasting portrayal of Lex Luthor as a morally upright U.S. leader reinforces the ideological divide, positioning America as a counterbalance to Soviet authoritarianism (01:18:40). Lex's presidency and relationship with Lois symbolize American values of freedom and partnership. This ideological framing is strategic to appeal to Western audiences and to provide a clear antagonist-protagonist dynamic. It reflects the broader geopolitical tensions influencing superhero storytelling in the 21st century. Action and Superpower Depictions The film adapts classic superhero action with a focus on power limitations and ideological symbolism, notably through the use of red sun lamps to neutralize Superman's powers and the introduction of Superior Man as a Soviet weapon (47:48). The immediate loss and regain of Superman's powers under red sun exposure was acknowledged as a narrative expediency, despite known inconsistencies with canonical depictions (48:58). This mechanism facilitates key confrontations and heightens tension without complex exposition. The decision balances pacing needs of a 90-minute runtime against the need for recognizable superhero logic. The Superior Man character acts as a tragic figure whose destruction deepens Lois's conflict with Lex and underscores the moral costs of weaponizing superpowers (37:22). His portrayal as a lab creation rather than a fully human clone adds ethical ambiguity. This subplot strengthens the film's theme of sacrifice and unintended consequences in superhuman conflicts. The Green Lantern Corps assault was streamlined, with the film emphasizing the fight's intensity and Wonder Woman's intervention, contrasting with the comic's more fragmented depiction (01:11:00). The film's choice to present Wonder Woman as stronger than Superman visually reinforces her narrative significance. The fight sequences support the escalating stakes and demonstrate the combined forces opposing Soviet Superman. Production and Storytelling Choices The filmmakers made strategic decisions to adapt the comic's complex narrative into a cohesive, accessible screenplay that emphasizes character and political drama over spectacle (09:41). The introduction of original scenes such as the gulag encounter and Superman killing Stalin serve to heighten emotional impact and clarify political stakes early in the film (28:34). These scenes compensate for the comic's denser exposition by providing visual and emotional anchor points. The film balances storytelling clarity with maintaining the comic's core themes. The choice to omit or tone down certain comic elements, such as excessive narrative exposition and supervillain cameos, streamlines the plot for new audiences (01:14:44). This focus on fewer characters helps maintain narrative coherence and emotional resonance. The film aims to appeal both to comic fans and general audiences unfamiliar with the source material. The adaptation was influenced by modern political sensibilities and audience expectations, reflected in the more explicit feminist themes and clearer moral distinctions (13:11). These choices aim to update the story's relevance and broaden its appeal. The film's tone contrasts with the comic's edgier, more ambiguous style, favoring clarity and accessibility. Audience Reception and Legacy The podcast hosts unanimously recommend Superman Red Sun as a compelling and unique take on the Superman mythos, suitable even for non-fans due to its strong narrative and thematic depth (01:33:00). Nick and J. Mike highlight the film's ability to retain Superman's core ethics despite the alternate political setting, praising its nuanced portrayal of flawed heroism. The story's exploration of power, ideology, and morality offers rich material for discussion and reexamination of classic characters. Its accessibility makes it a useful entry point for audiences new to superhero stories or interested in political narratives. The film's balanced treatment of Lex Luthor and Lois Lane adds emotional investment and challenges traditional villain-hero dichotomies. This complexity enhances the film's value as a character-driven drama. The positive portrayal of Lex as a “good guy” is noted as a refreshing and deliberate creative decision. The upcoming interview with J. M. DeMatteis, writer of the animated movie, and the launch of the Trade School podcast series on comic trades indicate ongoing community engagement and content expansion around this material (01:39:10). These initiatives suggest sustained interest and potential for deeper exploration of comic adaptations. They offer platforms for fans and newcomers to connect over shared appreciation of graphic storytelling.

Have you ever thought about running an event in space? Yeah… me neither—until today.In this episode, I sit down with Brody Lee, an entrepreneur who turned a near-death experience into a mission to change the world through human connection. From selling fake hall passes in high school to closing $20k at his very first (one-person!) event, Brody's journey is nothing short of wild.We dive into how events aren't just about selling from the stage—they're about curating transformational experiences that respect the real costs people pay to show up: their money, time, and relationships.

Critical care in the United States faces a mounting crisis. With a shortage of board-certified intensivists and younger, less experienced nurses filling ICUs, hospitals often struggle to provide timely, gold-standard care. Studies show that hospitals with board-certified intensivists in their ICUs see a 30% reduction in patient mortality, yet thousands of facilities still lack this vital expertise.So, how can technology close the critical care gap and help hospitals meet these new quality standards while supporting overburdened staff?In this episode of I Don't Care, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson sits down with Dr. Diego Reino, CEO of Intercept Telehealth, to explore how virtual critical care, telestroke, and virtual nursing are transforming hospital operations. The conversation covers how Intercept leverages a fully decentralized model to recruit top intensivists nationwide, integrates ICU bedside data into remote platforms, and provides hospitals with proactive, equitable, and scalable patient care.Key Takeaways:Virtual critical care fills critical staffing gaps: Intercept's decentralized network allows intensivists and nurse practitioners across the country to provide real-time ICU support, even in high-acuity situations.Technology transforms speed and access: Integrated platforms transmit live bedside data, enabling near-instant intensivist response times—averaging 36 seconds compared to the five-minute benchmark.Beyond ICU coverage: Intercept also delivers telestroke, teleneurology, virtual nursing, and telesepsis programs, helping hospitals improve patient safety, meet compliance standards, and support younger, less-experienced nurses.Dr. Diego Reino is a liver and kidney transplant surgeon and the President and CEO of Intercept Telehealth. He trained at UCLA in transplant surgery and began his career at the Cleveland Clinic in Florida. Driven by a commitment to equity in critical care, Dr. Reino founded Intercept to harness technology and provide gold-standard ICU coverage to hospitals nationwide. His leadership continues to expand access to specialized care, from virtual critical care to stroke and sepsis management.

He names them: a "lack of inclusion" and a system that isn't "fair." This is the language of radical, top-down social restructuring. The pandemic, he boasts, was a useful tool to increase this "new alertness" — a wake-up call they intend to answer on our behalf. This isn't about the environment. It's about power. It's about using the pretext of a climate emergency to dismantle and rebuild our economies, our social contracts, and our very way of life according to their utopian, technocratic vision. They believe they can engineer a "better" life for us, whether we want it or not. This is the Great Reset, stated plainly. It's the culmination of their belief that you must be guided to your own salvation.   The ‘Gold Standard' of Jobs Data Is Broken—And America Is Paying the Price   here's something incredibly wrong at BLS, and for the sake of our economy, it's time to fix it.From March 2024 to March 2025—a period mostly covering the final year of the Biden administration—BLS overestimated job numbers by 911,000. In other words, for that period, the nation added a stunning 911,000 fewer jobs than were originally reported, the largest such error on record.Let that sink in. But it's a lot worse than that. Over the last three years, the BLS has overcounted nearly 3 million jobs that didn't exist. These aren't random errors when every revision skews in the same direction. Even more troubling, the BLS numbers released last week pointed in opposite directions. One survey showed 22,000 jobs created while the other suggested nearly 300,000. Which is it?By relying on faulty data and skewed reporting methods, BLS essentially invented millions of jobs that weren't there. That flawed data was then used by the Biden administration and the legacy media to promote a job market that didn't exist, instead of reporting the weak jobs' recovery. Policymakers throughout the government rely on BLS data to shape decisions on taxes, spending and monetary policies. Americans across the country rely on BLS data to judge how elected officials' decisions affect their daily lives and the issues that matter to them, meaning flawed data could change the outcomes of our elections.Most of the period covered in this week's report took place in the waning days of President Joe Biden's tenure. For his last year in office, BLS job numbers were off by more than 50%.That overestimation came during a highly contentious election focused largely on the economy and centered on issues like jobs and inflation. Flawed BLS data painted a far better picture of Biden's economy than real...

Running a machine shop isn't just about cutting chips—it's about managing the numbers that make the whole operation possible. In this Machine Shop MBA episode of MakingChips, the team sits down with Jon Hughes of CLA to tackle one of the most overlooked yet critical parts of shop ownership: financial strategy. Many shop leaders rise through the ranks of the shop floor without formal financial training. The books often become “just compliance”—something you do because you have to file taxes. But as Jon makes clear, your financial systems can be far more than compliance—they can be a competitive advantage. From managing cash flow to planning for growth and capital expenditures, the way you handle money directly impacts your ability to survive downturns, seize opportunities, and build wealth. In this episode, we dig into why cash flow is king, what “working capital” really means for a shop, and how to navigate customer payment terms that often feel stacked against smaller manufacturers. They also explore practical strategies for budgeting, forecasting, and job costing—ensuring that every hour and every order drives long-term profitability. Packed with stories, humor, and battle-tested advice, this episode equips shop owners with the knowledge they need to turn finance into a weapon rather than a weakness. Whether you're just trying to make payroll or planning your long-term exit, these insights will help you keep making chips—and making money.
