If I put $100 on my desk here, I can wake up every day and look at $100, and I can tell

myself I still have $100 when in fact the purchasing power of that 100 is eroding.

I just can't see it.

You know, if we had some giant visual indicator of how our purchasing power is being zapped

on a daily basis, it would be way more evident to people.

Hey, everyone. So good to be back with you. Chris Martinsen Peak Prosperity. Big, big,

big interview today. This is going to be awesome. Really looking forward to this. It's been too long in the coming, too long in the making. I have no good excuse for why it's taken this long. But today we're talking with Chris Irons of both the Raven. Great, great individual, great writer. Hopefully you've been following on Twitter, on substack, other places. But man, we are going to burn the bridges down today. We're going to talk about COVID and we're going to talk about monetary policy.
