In this 3-part series, Matt tears into the truth behind what’s really happening to your paycheck, your savings, and the dollar in your wallet — and why fighting back might be the only option left. Part 1: How the Middle Class Fights Back and Saves Itself Why housing, wages, and corporate power have turned the “American Dream” into a rigged game — and what you can actually do to win again. Part 2: What Happens to Your Savings When Powell Leaves What Trump’s war with the Fed means for your bank account, your mortgage, and the price of literally everything you buy. Part 3: 10 Reasons BRICS Won’t Beat the Dollar Why the dollar isn’t dying, no matter what the internet fearmongers say — and how to use the system’s own inflation machine to your advantage.
