July CPI landed today. 3.4% headline, 2.5% core. Markets moved. The Fed was watching. That's the whole story, if you stop reading here.

We didn't. Two thirds of the monthly move came from one category, measured with a hypothetical rent nobody has ever actually paid. 40 years of quiet choices sit behind that number, and real people are the ones who cover the difference.

New episode of The Overlap is up. 🧮🏚️

The White House is officially the new "Green Zone." FDR dug a bunker in 1942 so the Republic could outlive the man. Today, they’re demolishing history to pour concrete for a $400M ballroom "shed" sitting on top of a classified military complex. Bypassed courts, ignored public comments, and a casual $1B taxpayer security ask moving through the Senate. When the executive branch fortifies itself, democracy is already losing the argument.

Okay, the dream of no alarm clocks and endless free stuff is great. But how do you actually run a planet when cash is obsolete? On Resource Based Economy Part 2, we're ditching the fantasy (a little) and diving into the practical, occasionally dry, mechanisms of a Resource-Based Economy. Global surveys, AI allocation, prefab everything, and yes, lending libraries for screwdrivers. Join us as we lift the hood on the RBE and figure out if this thing even has an engine.

Join Joshua and Will on The Overlap as they investigate the different ways countries structure their healthcare. Is socialized medicine the only answer? What exactly is a single-payer system?

Press play.
