Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:42:18 — 29.3MB)
Today we discuss a variety of current and economic events and then move into a more audience Q&A mode answering your questions on biochar, garden beds, patio gardening and more. We are going to deep dive today into why people always think they are underpaid but most are not. We will kill the lie that all the tariff cost is passed on to the consumer, and explain exactly how that is not true.
From there we move onto Real ID and why even though I don’t like it, I don’t really care much about it and why the hype around it is steaming bullshit. The 10K Toyota truck people are arguing about, that is never coming to the US anyway will also be covered and a lot of other hot topics in this one.
Join Me Today to Discuss…
- Why the claims that the customer pays the full tariff are only made by the economically illiterate
- Why the left should love tariffs, it is mostly a tax on “evil corporations”
- Real ID sucks but a lot of the fear mongering needs to stop, no one will care about this a year from now
- Stop arguing about the 10K Toyota truck, it isn’t coming here anyway – link
- The left is upset that human smugglers in Panama are out of work – yea really – link

Academy Sports (A Texas company) has been raising tons of pricing over the past month using tariffs as the excuse, though they have not experienced an increase yet themselves
They used to be one of my favorite places to shop, they started grifting hard during Covid and never stopped. They are dead to me in a world where I can buy anything online for half the dang price.
Real ID is optional in Kentucky. I renewed in Kentucky two years ago. No real ID, no star. The official website allows you to renew with no real Id. They call it the “New Standard” ID.
I would think real ID is a move towards standardization. You always have your license on you. The next phase or maybe it’s possible already is there’s a card reader, you put your ID in the card reader and it determines for instance your vaccine status, your health status, your carbon footprint, social credit score etc. Then maybe in order to go online, use a computer etc then you have to have a card reader or all the computers will have them, you insert your card (license) into the card reader and it verifies your identify. Your passport may have your information, but I never have to carry it with me all of then or use it unless I travel. Some of those features could be the next phase of real id etc
You really think they need real id for that?
Even if they did, what is the purpose, to deny you things right?
So then you don’t have it, now what?
