4 snips
Nov 5, 2024 In this lively discussion, economist Dominik Leusder, host of the Eurotrash Podcast, dives into the UK budget, revealing who's in and who's out, alongside the political rise of Kemi Badenoch. He offers a unique take on the US presidential campaign, even tying it to a quirky $30 million bet on a squirrel named Peanut. The talk hilariously critiques neoliberal policies and examines the absurdities of betting markets influencing political predictions, all while drawing parallels to the challenges facing farmers under today's economic climate.
