On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming back John Rubino. John was the Founder of dollarcollapse.com, author/co-author of 5 books and has a great Substack.

During our conversation we spoke about whether good news is bad for the markets, Deja vu of back end of 2022, unwinding of 40 years of economic exuberance, mass bankruptcies, whether the FED has pivoted and if US government obligations can be repaid. I hope you enjoy!
