The New York Fed released a troubling report detailing the risk of Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) exposure in the insurance industry. Over the past several years, private equity has taken larger and larger stakes in insurers who are historically risk averse. But now they’re acting more like hedge funds in their investment strategies and have more than $2 trillion in corporate debt exposure and nearly $300 billion of it is in mezzanine financing packaged much in the way mortgage backed securities (MBS) were in the run up to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Against the backdrop of persistent inflation, a renewed round of tariffs, elevated oil prices, the war in Iran and historic consumer debt, the economy is like a tinderbox. The jelly bean theory holds that you can only reach into the jar so many times before you eventually pick the black jelly bean. Apologies in advance to all those who like black licorice flavored jelly beans.

Max and 99 are back for another round of Omnibus. They hit headlines on the Trump administration restricting visas for foreign journalists, tribes suing to block the gutting of the Endangered Species Act, SpaceX’s massive share unlock, and a defense of reading books in an era of mass literary abandonment. Then they tackle listener emails on coordinating progressive media against AIPAC, whether MMT is 1920s Germany, and some episode clarifications.

Everything is getting worse, but the country hasn’t collapsed. This is all by design. Donald Trump is a useful idiot for the people behind the scenes and Project 2025, most notably Russell Vought. The Trump administration is using the nation’s finances like a personal piggy bank for themselves and large corporations while gutting agencies that provide critical services. The misconception is that Trump is driving things into the ground. He’s not. He’s just making things so shitty that the corporate state looks good in comparison.

This week we went to see The Odyssey and came out thinking about Bronze Age collapse, because Nolan’s Odysseus is haunted by the wreckage of a civilization that mistook conquest for strength—and the parallels basically write themselves. Then we checked in on the Leading Economic Index, which has been declining for years while the coincident index keeps climbing, and the gap between those two lines is the gap between Wall Street and everyone else: the market’s fine, the C-suite’s fine, but the person trying to build or buy a house is living in a completely different economy.

CDU im Sommer-Chaos: Jens Spahn, Leihmutterschaft und der „Kipppunkt“ Deutschlands Während sich Friedrich Merz im Sommerurlaub von den lästigen Wählern erholt, brodelt es in der Union. Der mächtige Fraktionsvorsitzende Jens Spahn überspannt den Bogen endgültig und muss zurücktreten, weil er im Ausland eine Leihmutter dafür bezahlt hat, für ihn und seinen Ehemann ein Kind auszutragen. Roland Tichy analysiert in dieser Ausgabe der „Lage der Nation“ die Unfähigkeit der Union, selbst in der Sommerpause skandalfrei zu bleiben. Denn offenbar lebt kein Spitzenpolitiker der CDU/CSU die Werte der eigenen Partei. So sehr das Degradieren von Kindern zur Handelsware abzulehnen sei, findet Tichy, hätte Spahn schon viel früher gehen müssen. Als Gesundheitsminister verantwortete er den weit überteuerten Ankauf nicht benötigter FFP2-Masken, die nun für noch mehr Geld vernichtet werden müssen. Ein Skandal, dessen Aufarbeitung die Union bis heute behindert. Und unter Kanzler Friedrich Merz betätige sich Spahn als Wachhund, der die Abgeordneten der CDU/CSU-Fraktion auf dem selbstmörderischen Kurs der Koalition hält. Um seine Zukunft muss sich Jens Spahn jedoch keine Sorgen machen: Er wird weich fallen, ist sich Roland Tichy sicher. Schlimmstenfalls gründet man eben eine neue Bundesbehörde, die Spahn leiten kann. Es kostet ja nur Steuergeld.

Senioren sind ein großer Markt für Unternehmen. Viele Berliner Firmen arbeiten an speziellen Technologien: vom Herzschrittmacher über das künstliche Hüftgelenk, Notruflösungen für häusliche Unfälle oder Exoskelette bis hin zur Gehirnjogging-App. Von Anja Dobrodinsky

Die Zahl der Unfälle mit E-Scootern, bei denen Menschen verletzt oder getötet wurden, ist im vergangenen Jahr um 38 Prozent gestiegen. Eine Helmpflicht allein würde nicht helfen, sagt Unfallchirurg Christopher Spering.

Alles zum aktuellen Sponsoring und den aktuellen Rabattcodes und Aktionen [findest du hier.](https://linktr.ee/feuerundbrot) Unterstützt uns auf Steady: https://steady.page/de/feuerundbrot/about "Botox ist die bessere Hautcreme" hat Ikkimel letztens gesagt. Damit spricht sie aus, was schon längst zu spüren ist: Minimalinvasive Schönheitseingriffe - sogenannte "Twaekments" sind mittlerweile vollkommen normalisiert. Die Industrie boomt, die Kundschaft wächst und wird dazu auch noch immer jünger. Millenials geben besonders viel Geld für Tweakments aus, aber auch viele GenZler lassen sich bereits Botox spritzen. Nur: Botox ist eben keine optimierte Hautcreme, sondern ein Nervengift, das die Bewegung der Muskeln einschränkt oder vollkommen verhindert. Und das hat mehr Effekte als allein eine geglättete Haut. Wer seine Gesichtsmuskeln nicht bewegen kann, hat auch weniger Zugang zu seinen Emotionen, das zeigen Studien. In einer überfordernden und krisengebeutelten Welt klingt gerade das für manche allerdings verlockend. Wohl nicht zufällig geht mit den steigenden Eingriffen ein neuer ästhetischer Trend einher: Vor allem junge Frauen schauen vermehrt ausdruckslos in Kameras, lächeln weniger und schmollen mehr - Gesichtsausdrücke, die unter dem Namen "Gen Z Stare" und "Gen Z Pout" im Netz diskutiert und nachgeahmt werden. Was steckt hinter diesem ausdruckslosen Ausdruck? Eine feministische Verweigerung gegenüber der an Frauen gestellten Anforderung immer lieb, freundlich und nett zu sein? Oder sieht man hier nicht viel mehr die Effekte von Botox und die sich verbreitende Unfähigkeit Emotionen zu zeigen? Ist das blanke Starren und Schmollen als rebellisch zu verstehen oder ist es nicht viel mehr ein Zeichen von Resignation und Gleichgültigkeit? Fest steht: Der Botox-Boom ist mehr als nur ein Schönheitstrend, er ist auch ästhetische Untermalung, Reaktion und Weiterführung einer wiederaufkommenden gesellschaftlichen Gefühlslosigkeit und eines Taubheitsgefühls - und das ist nicht ungefährlich. Was ist das also für eine Welt, in der immer mehr Menschen bereitwillig ihre Gesichtsmimik drangeben, im Namen der Schönheit? Wir denken drüber nach, hört rein.

Das Korn ist reif und die Tiere wollen ohnehin immer versorgt werden – egal ob gerade Sommerferien sind, oder nicht. Und dann ist da vielleicht noch die ältere Generation, die einem im Nacken sitzt und sagt: "Urlaub ist Quatsch". Trotzdem brauchen auch Landwirtinnen und Landwirte eine Auszeit. Aber, wie klappt das? Eine Möglichkeit sind Betriebshelferinnen und Betriebshelfer. Sie kommen auf den landwirtschaftlichen Betrieb und übernehmen die Vertretung. Sie tun also alles das, was auch die Landwirtin oder der Landwirt machen würden.Zu Gast ist Betriebshelferin Petra Flessner aus Aurich. Sie arbeitet für den Maschinenring, der in der Urlaubszeit Helferinnen und Helfer auf die Höfe schickt. Auch bei Schwangerschaftsvertretungen oder nach Unfällen helfen die Betriebshelferinnen und Betriebshelfer aus.Hier findet ihr die Folge über Landwirt Christoph, der einen Burnout hatte:"Burnout und Depressionen bei Landwirten: Christophs Weg aus der Krise #38"https://www.ardsounds.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:da8911cf01565986/Majas Landwort / Forstwort bei 2:04 Min: "Zitzengummi"Habt Ihr Themenvorschläge?

This week we read the federal budget the way it’s meant to be read: as a moral document. What it shows is individuals paying more, corporations getting refunds, classrooms getting gutted, and the pentagon getting fed, all while the deficit stays exactly where it always was. The “fiscally responsible” costume is just that. Then we looked at the strategic petroleum reserve, which is sitting at 1983 levels after nearly 100 million barrels drawn down since the Iran war began—and with China about to reenter the market and the strait still choked off, the traders who’ve been keeping oil prices contained are running out of room.

Ten sitting house democrats and five candidates just signed the “Promise to America” pledge ensuring the public they are not socialists. It has six banal points with no specifics, no plan, and no agenda that might actually help anyone. Of the six, five are limp, empty platitudes. The sixth is a Trojan horse to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. So either these “Democrats” are wholly and secretly aligned with the folks who wrote Project 2025, or they’re stupid. You decide. In this episode, Max rips apart the pledge, puts this so-called movement in historical context, grades the legislators who are signatories to it, and explains why they are so out of step with what their constituents truly desire.

This week we asked whether 2026 is 2008 or something worse, and the answer is: different disease, same symptoms. The hiring freeze, the housing collapse, the credit stress all rhyme with the last crisis, but this time the economy is drowning in money that just isn’t moving, pooling at the top while the bottom quietly bleeds out. Then we pulled on the thread of where all that leverage actually lives, and found that the “safe” parts of the financial system—banks, money markets, insurers—are the ones funding the riskiest trades, all stacked on the same narrow AI bet. When it unwinds, the dampeners become the accelerants.

If you've ever thought your goal was to stay in a calorie deficit for as long as possible, this episode is for you.In the last episode, we talked about calorie deficits: what they are, how they work, and why they're necessary for fat loss. But what most people never learn is what comes after the deficit.The truth is, a calorie deficit is just one phase of your fitness journey…not your forever plan.In this episode, we're talking about why maintenance calories are a great tool for long-term success, when a building phase actually makes sense, and why cycling through different phases is how you create lasting body recomposition instead of staying stuck in an endless diet.A calorie deficit is a tool, not a destination. The goal isn't to spend your life eating less. The goal is to understand when to diet, when to maintain, and when to build so you can create a stronger, healthier body that lasts for years.In this episode, we cover:Why a calorie deficit should be viewed as a season, not a lifestyleHow to know when it's time to come out of a deficitWhy maintenance calories are not the same as "giving up"What a building phase actually is (and why it doesn't mean "getting bulky")Why building muscle now can make future fat-loss phases more successfulThe different phases of fat loss and body recompositionWhy fitness is a cycle, not one long dietLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

The hit series The Bear has finally concluded. The final episode is so uplifting that most reviewers appear to believe the arc of the show’s main character follows suit with a redemptive arc. But the connection to Ayn Rand’s famous book The Fountainhead might reveal the opposite meaning. The show’s main character Carmen Berzatto, portrayed beautifully by Jeremy Allen White, shows us a prototypical Randian archetype who understands everything and learns nothing. The deeper subtext of the show is the tension between the upper and working class, the pursuit of both greatness and a paycheck, and whether individual accomplishments supersede collective success. It’s a uniquely modern American theme being played out in real time between two of the most famous men in America. Elon Musk is the avatar of Rand’s objectivist theory, while Zohran Mamdani leverages his fame and status for the collective.

Eine neue Studie der Eidgenössischen Materialprüfungs- und Forschungsanstalt Empa zeigt, dass es günstiger und einfacher wäre, Dieselbusse zu Elektrobussen umzubauen, als neue Fahrzeuge zu kaufen. Verkehrsbetriebe in der Region finden die Idee gut, bei der Umsetzung gäbe es aber noch Hürden. Weitere Themen: · Die Situation rund um den Lehrpersonenmangel hat sich auch im Kanton Schaffhausen entspannt. · Am Wochenende gab es im Kanton Zürich neun Verletzte bei Unfällen mit Fahrrädern. · Die Winterthurer Stadtpolizei musste am Freitag eine Taube aus einem Blumengeschäft retten.

Jeder von uns wurde schon mit Kräften konfrontiert, die zerstörerisch wirken. Unfälle und Krankheiten, auch Kriege hinterlassen ihre Spuren. Das wurde mir wieder aufs Neue klar, als ich zu einem Besuch in den USA war. Ich traf ein älteres Ehepaar. Wir saßen zusammen beim Essen und der Ehemann erzählte mir von seinen Kriegserlebnissen.

This week we mapped out how Wall Street has talked itself into a story it can’t stress-test—Accenture getting punished whether AI succeeds or fails, Saylor quietly selling the Bitcoin he swore he’d never sell, and the hyperscalers borrowing billions to fund a buildout that may be obsolete before it’s finished. Then we looked at the inflation numbers, which are stuck well above target, and the quiet methodology change coming this fall that’ll let everyone claim victory without prices actually moving an inch.

You've heard it before: "The only way to lose weight is a calorie deficit." And while that statement is technically true, it's also one of the most oversimplified pieces of fitness advice on the internet.In this episode, I'm breaking down what a calorie deficit actually is, why it's not as simple as "eat less and move more," and why some women may need to focus on maintenance calories before worrying about fat loss.If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or confused about why eating less isn't working anymore, this episode is for you.In this episode, we cover:What a calorie deficit actually is and how it worksWhy fat loss requires a calorie deficit - but that doesn't mean starvationWhy "eat less, move more" isn't always helpful adviceHow your starting point determines your fat-loss approachWhen maintenance calories may be more beneficial than a deficitWhat reverse dieting is and who it may helpHow calorie deficits connect to body recompositionSigns your calorie deficit may be too aggressiveLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Is private credit the pin that pops the market bubble? The short answer is no—but that’s the wrong question entirely. Private credit is now a $1.8–$3.5 trillion market, rivaling the entire U.S. leveraged loan and high-yield bond markets combined. It’s direct lending, shadow banking, and middle-market finance all rolled into one, and firms like Ares, Apollo, Blackstone, Blue Owl, and Morgan Stanley are at the center of it. Business development companies (BDCs), are gating redemptions. Pension funds, insurance companies, and retail investors are all exposed. And the Financial Stability Board issued a formal warning in May 2026. So what is private credit, how did it get this big, and what does it actually mean for the broader economy if it seizes up? In this episode, Max breaks down the entire private credit ecosystem—from its origins in post-2008 regulation to the mechanics of SOFR-linked floating rate loans, PIK interest, covenant-lite structures, and the $410–$540 billion in bank lending that ties the whole system together. We look at the BDC redemption crisis of 2025 and 2026, the First Brands and TriColor fraud cases and Jamie Dimon’s cockroach comment that won’t go away. Resources J.P.

Max and 99 are back, back, back again. They hit headlines on the Supreme Court shielding Roundup from cancer lawsuits, Stephen Miller quietly gutting disability rights, a socialist congressman who tried to abolish the Senate in 1911, and the Netherlands criminalizing conversion therapy. Then they dive into listener emails on stablecoins and the Genius Act, the “upside” of losing the Iran war, and how Max’s economic outlook squares with the Scott Galloways of the world.

This week we said goodbye to Alan Greenspan, the man who spent two decades quietly rigging the economy for the wealthy, and encouraged working people to take on debt he knew would blow up in their faces (he would eventually call this a “flaw” ). Then we looked at housing starts, which just posted their worst number since COVID, with multifamily construction down 40% in a single month—because between 6.4% mortgage rates, all-time high home prices, and tariffs jacking up the cost of every material that goes into a build, the math simply doesn’t work.

A skate career doesn't always look like a sponsor check. Sometimes it looks like sleeping on floors, writing your first press release, herding a van full of strong personalities, and still showing up because you believe the scene matters. Ryan King is one of the behind the scenes builders who helped make Jacksonville skateboarding feel alive, starting with his jump from Pensacola to UNF and straight into the Flatline years. We talk about how a simple internship turns into real responsibility, what it took to pull off a sold out video premiere, and why local brands and local shops shape skaters more than any algorithm ever will. Then the conversation turns personal. Ryan opens up about his son Sturgil's juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), a rare autoimmune disease that can hit out of nowhere and steal a kid's ability to walk. We get into the fear of early misreads, the fight to find the right specialists, the reality of treatment, and what it means to ride the roller coaster of remission and flare ups. It's heavy, but it's also hopeful, especially when you hear how the skateboard community rallies and how skating becomes a source of strength for their whole family. We also get into the stories that define an era: the legendary first Go Skateboarding Day in Jacksonville that went from positive news coverage to helicopters and chaos, plus tour life memories from New York to the Florida Keys. Finally, Ryan breaks down his move into action sports marketing at Red Bull as a field marketing manager and the process of pitching original events, including creating Red Bull Mind The Gap, a contest concept that's still running years after he stepped away. If you care about skateboarding culture, community building, and doing creative work without losing the fun, this one's for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who grew up skating, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What part of skateboarding has helped you most outside of skating itself?

Diese Frage beschäftigt viele Kletter*innen spätestens dann, wenn von schweren Unfällen oder sogar tödlichen Abstürzen aufgrund von Materialversagen berichtet wird.In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Simon über die oft unsichtbare Infrastruktur unseres Sports: Bohrhaken, Klebehaken und die Menschen, die sich um deren Wartung kümmern. Ausgangspunkt ist ein aktueller Unfall, der erneut die Frage aufwirft, wie sicher die Absicherungen in unseren Klettergebieten tatsächlich sind und wer die Verantwortung dafür trägt.Zu Beginn werfen wir einen Blick auf zwei beeindruckende Leistungen aus der Kletterwelt. Lara Neumeier gelang als zweite Frau überhaupt die Begehung der berühmten Alpinen Trilogie. Die drei extrem anspruchsvollen alpinen Mehrseillängenrouten „Silbergeier“, „End of Silence“ und „Des Kaisers neue Kleider“ gehören zu den schwersten und bedeutendsten Linien der Alpen. Außerdem sprechen wir über Lynn Hill, die 1993 mit der ersten freien Begehung von „The Nose“ am El Capitan Klettergeschichte schrieb und deren Leistung lange Zeit unterschätzt wurde.Im Hauptteil der Folge geht es um die Arbeit der IG Klettern und die Frage, wie Sanierungen von Kletterrouten in Deutschland organisiert werden. Wer entscheidet eigentlich, wann ein Haken ersetzt werden muss? Welche Materialien werden verwendet? Und wie erkennt man, ob eine Absicherung noch sicher ist?Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Korrosion von Bohrhaken. Wir erklären die Unterschiede zwischen Rost und galvanischer Korrosion, sprechen über die Risiken von Materialmischungen und beleuchten, warum selbst hochwertiger Edelstahl in Meeresnähe innerhalb weniger Jahre versagen kann. Dabei betrachten wir bekannte Beispiele aus Klettergebieten wie Kalymnos sowie die Erkenntnisse des britischen Erschließers Martin Roberts, der sich seit Jahrzehnten mit Korrosionsschäden an Bohrhaken beschäftigt.Außerdem erfährst du:• Warum Titan in Meeresnähe oft die beste Wahl ist• Welche Rolle Epoxidharz, Vinylester und Polyester bei Klebehaken spielen• Warum manche Bohrhaken bereits nach wenigen Jahren versagen können• Welche Kosten bei einer Ersterschließung oder Sanierung entstehen• Weshalb Materialmischungen ein erhebliches Sicherheitsrisiko darstellen• Wie Bohrhaken getestet werden können• Warum die moralische Verantwortung von Erschließer*innen weit über das Bohren einer Route hinausgehtEine Folge für alle, die verstehen möchten, was hinter einer sicheren Kletterroute steckt und warum die Qualität eines Bohrhakens im Ernstfall über Leben und Tod entscheiden kann.Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!#Klettern #Bohrhaken #IGKlettern #Kalymnos #TitanBolts #Klettersicherheit #TradClimbing #Sportklettern #Mehrseillängen #LaraNeumeier #LynnHill #ElCapitan #TheNose #Frankenjura #KletterpodcastBohrhaken und ihr Material:https://bolting.eu/stahlqualitaeten-bei-bohrhaken-und-klebehaken/Bohrhaken vom Unfall in Kalymnos:https://www.instagram.com/p/DWcRs-pAiXy?img_index=5__________________________AgonistZum Kaffee

Trump lost more than the war with Iran. U.S. media tends to look at things through a bilateral or ethnocentric lens of winners and losers. The bigger story is how Trump singlehandedly altered the calculus for multiple nation states, and fundamentally shifted historic alliances. Israel stands to lose the most and is increasingly isolated now that Iran and its proxies are triumphant. But this also has enormous implications for the Gulf States who have to renegotiate their relationship with Tehran. Whether there are any actual payouts in this agreement is icing on Iran’s liquidity cake as entry to market oil prices and flows alone will amount to a huge windfall. In three short months Trump weakened the position of U.S. allies and strengthened Iran and its allies. Resources CNBC: Pres.

Your business is doing well. Revenue is growing. Clients are coming. You've built something real. But here's the question almost nobody is asking you: Are you actually building wealth? Not business revenue. Not cash flow. Personal, lasting, choice-creating wealth — the kind that means you get to decide how you spend your time, with whom, and on what terms. If the honest answer is "not really" — or "I'm hoping the business sale will sort that out" — you're not alone. But you are taking a risk that most high-achieving women don't recognise until it's too late.

This week we took a detour into the joy of the Knicks championship and what it says about New York, collective identity, and why Zohran Mamdani’s politics make sense in a city where the billionaire and the bodega worker share the same sewer pipe. Then we got back to the markets, where a flood of new share issuances is quietly changing the supply and demand math that’s driven equities upward for 40 years. With bond yields actually competing for attention, the irrational exuberance warnings are starting to sound less crazy.

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering some of the fitness questions you have sent in recently, and we are covering a lot of the things that tend to make women overthink their progress.We talk about protein and whether it's possible to eat too much, how to find a fat loss calorie goal that actually works for you, and what to do if tracking macros brings out your perfectionist side. I also break down whether you need special shoes for lifting, if compound lifts are enough to build muscle, and how I became more comfortable lifting heavy weights over time.We also get into deload weeks…what they are, when to use them, and why backing off can actually help you keep making progress. And of course, we talk about cravings, willpower, mindset, and why white-knuckling your way through fitness is not the goal.This episode is practical, honest, and full of reminders that fitness does not have to be so all-or-nothing. You do not need to be perfect with your macros, scared of eating more protein, or intimidated by the gym. You need a plan, realistic expectations, and the confidence to keep showing up.Episode Recap:Protein goals and whether you can eat too muchPerfectionism with macrosFinding your fat loss caloriesShoes for liftingCompound lifts vs. isolation movementsDeload weeksBuilding confidence with heavy weightsCravings, willpower, and mindsetLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Donald Trump has already destroyed much of the global economy, but the worst has yet to hit the United States. This “resilience paradox” is the result of early stage demand destruction, something economists fear and policy makers have no defense against. There are multiple factors holding the U.S. economy together in a way that other countries cannot manage. And most of the damage is baked in and irreversible. Thus far, one of the more powerful dynamics has been the market’s hesitation to bet long or short on price movement, because of the fluid and unpredictable nature of Trump’s on-again/off-again announcements regarding the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. We dissect it all and lay out the scenarios ahead and what it means for the American consumer.

Am Freitag präsentiert Hubert Niggli, der Finanzchef der grössten Unfallversicherung Suva, einmal mehr gute Zahlen. Die Suva zählt zu den grössten Investorinnen der Schweiz. Gerne würde sie mehr Geld in bezahlbaren Wohnraum investieren, doch es fehlten die Projekte dafür. Die Arbeitsunfälle bei der Suva sind gesunken, nun ziehen die Prämien nach. Aber nicht nur aufgrund der gesunkenen Unfälle schreibt die Suva gute Zahlen. Sie verwaltet über 60 Milliarden Franken und legt diese an. Warum schreibt die Suva Gewinne, anders als andere Sozialversicherungen wie die IV oder AHV? Wo soll die Suva ihr Geld anlegen? Hubert Niggli sagt, die Suva möchten viel mehr Geld in erschwinglichen Wohnraum investieren, doch es gebe viel zu wenig Projekte. Er arbeitet seit fast einem Vierteljahrhundert bei der Suva und tritt nun nach acht Jahren als Finanzchef zurück. Hubert Niggli ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

This episode of UNFTR is an exclusive deep dive into the SpaceX IPO prospectus. It reveals what might be the biggest fraud and money grab in the public markets ever. The baseless $1.77 trillion dollar valuation at a list price of $135 at auction stands to add hundreds of billions of dollars to Elon Musk’s net worth, and that’s not the most outrageous part about this. The company currently loses billions of dollars every year, admits freely that most of the anticipated revenue streams are either currently illegal, highly unethical or perhaps non-existent. But hey, it’s Elon. What’s the worst that can happen? Believe it or not, there’s a lot more at risk here than just one company tanking after an outrageously overhyped IPO. And the average American investor with a 401(k) or IRA is very much an unwitting participant in the scam.

Most women think they need to lose weight to change their body… but what they actually want is body recomposition.In this episode of the Gym Confidence Series, we're breaking down what body recomp actually means, why strength training changes your shape, and why the “toned” look so many women want actually comes from building muscle - not starving yourself or doing endless cardio.I also talk about the difference between fat loss and muscle building, why the scale is not the full picture, and how so many women are chasing smaller bodies instead of stronger, healthier, more sustainable results. I also explain maintenance calories, calorie deficits, beginner muscle growth, and why consistency matters so much more than extremes.This episode is all about helping you understand what is ACTUALLY happening inside your body when you start lifting weights, eating enough protein, and training consistently … without overcomplicating the process (of course!)In this episode, we cover:what body recomposition actually iswhat “toned” really meanswhy muscle changes your body shapewhy strength training matters for womenmaintenance calories explained simplycalorie deficits without extremeswhy beginners often see faster progressthe biggest mistakes women make with fat losswhy consistency beats crash dieting every timeLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

This week we made the case that AI breaks a fundamental economic law: the bigger it gets, the more expensive it is to run, which is the exact opposite of how transformative technologies are supposed to work. The IPO trio of OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX looks less like the next internet and more like the last big exit for early investors before the whole thing deflates. Then we looked at the manufacturing uptick, which sounds like good news until you realize a lot of it may just be companies stockpiling inventory before prices get even worse.

This week we looked at the AI capital black hole—three companies with a combined $3 trillion in prospective market cap preparing to go public while public R&D budgets get gutted and the rest of the economy gets starved of investment. Then we checked in on consumer sentiment, which has basically fallen off a cliff, because when gas hits $5 a gallon and inflation keeps eating your paycheck, reality has a way of setting in.
