Description

In this episode, Sinead and Alex dive into the dystopian world of modern finance—where the stock market hits record highs while everyone you know is broke. They discuss the Federal Reserve shenanigans, the quiet power of pension funds, and how passive investing might be propping up a house of cards. From demographic doom-loops to the great Wall Street–Main Street disconnect, this is a look at the global economic twilight zone.
