Then he examines the global fallout from America’s conflict with Iran, including supply chain disruption, fuel shortages, job losses, rising food prices, and why the United States may feel protected only temporarily. Finally, TJ analyzes California’s proposed billionaire tax, supporting progressive taxation while warning that residency-based wealth taxes may be easy for billionaires to avoid. A sharp look at misinformation, war economics, inequality, and policy design.
