#32 - Dan Denning on Rocketing Inflation, Private Space Travel and Forever Lockdowns Down Under...

Up, Up and... away! Prices are on the move again, Dear Listener. Latest official figures (such as they are) tell us that Producer Prices rose 7.3% for the month of June. Consumer Prices were up 5.4% over the same period, the biggest CPI gain since August, 2008. Core producer prices were up 5.6% year-over-year. Where to from here, you might be wondering? To help answer that question, I caught up with Dan Denning earlier this week. We talk about what’s behind the rising prices, the flat out lies the Fed’s are spinning and what you can do to avoid the fallout of their hubristic undertakings. Time stamps - A rough guide...
