Hi folks, Jack Spirko here. Today you are listening to an episode of TSP Rewind.

Commercial free versions of past episodes podcast blast from the past.

I put these up when I can't do a show due to professional commitments or rare vacations.

These podcasts will appear in standard iTunes, Stitcher, and other feeds,

but will be titled TSP Rewind episodes and numbered accordingly.

And today we are rewinding way way way back to April the 20th 2010.

This was episode 420 and yes we're doing a rewind today and yes I said there would be a live show today and Jack was wrong.

Just looking at this week it's going to make a lot of sense for me getting ready for the party, getting ready for people to come in to run rewinds, Monday Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

Wednesday we already had a guest book for interview. I didn't want to kick that interview out and then push them to the end of the line.

So we'll go ahead and do a live show Wednesday. I'll have everything ready to roll by then obviously.

That way I will be available for several close folks who are coming in for the party who will be here at my house and will be doing stuff and things like that.

So that's what I'm doing that. But I was trying to do this morning as far as rewinds and I was picking some episodes and I just go way way way back.

And I didn't really have this episode in mind and I was just going through all the episodes from 2010 and just pick random archives to chain through.

And I found this one and I'm like that's going to be interesting.

And I thought you know this is so way back like if I got something really wrong in this, I might want to make sure that I'm like, hey, I got this wrong.

Turns out I listen, you know, usually when I do rewinds, I don't listen to the whole episode. I might listen to a few minutes here and there.

I look at the notes, try to think of it like some of the thoughts for it and kind of amend this new material at the beginning of it.

This one's a prophecy. I listened to the entire thing and I was honestly I blew myself away with accuracy.

I'm going to tell you there's probably one thing in here that I got absolutely right.

But I got it right more in the way that some of the old science fiction writers would get things right where they would get the thing right but the mechanism not exact.

And that's going to be toward the end when you hear me talking about cap and trade and carbon credits creating a new currency.

You know, that has all happened. But I really thought that they would do it by inflating corporate taxes and then offering a rebate.
