Slash, Ben, we'll get to all the news in just one moment. First, a quick reminder, we are now spending more money than has ever been seen by God or man, and this is going to lead to inflation. And even Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, she basically acknowledged inflation is probably on its way. So if you're looking at the value of your bank account and thinking, well, through no fault of my own, this is going to be worth less tomorrow than it is today.

Perhaps you might think about diversifying into precious metals, which is the greatest hedge against inflation and uncertainty in the markets.

All righty-so, the big news today

is that Facebook has decided, hey, yeah, it turns out the when we banned Trump on January 6th,

we were right. We were right all along. So here's what you have to know. Facebook last year

set up what they called their Facebook Oversight Board.

And the Facebook Oversight Board was supposed to be the sort of outside independent group that Facebook did not control,

that was supposed to make decisions, it was sort of like an appellate court,

that if somebody appealed a decision made by Facebook, it's either its algorithms or its employees,

that you could appeal to this Facebook court,

and the Facebook court would make a decision as to whether that person should have been suspended

or banned or something. And the constituency of the court was already weird, right?

The oversight board was already strange because it included a bunch of various sort of advocates

from a variety of countries, which first of all doesn't make any sense sense because the United States has the most open free speech standards on planet Earth. We are more free speech in the United States than they are in Canada or than they are in the UK, certainly in the rest of Europe. And yet, the oversight board was made up of a bunch of people who don't even live in America. There is like one third of the board was made up of Americans. And the other two thirds were people who were not American.

Then it was made up of a bunch of people who were politically active.

And it was not made politically diverse.
