148 - Change the Currency to Oak Leaves, Greenspan!

Biden's in our neck of the woods. Some weird facts interspersed for palate cleansing. Let's hope Lula can displace Bolsonaro (whom Musk is courting in dangerous ways). Sonic inflation, don't even look it up. The NYT claims that the good times are upon us! Mayor Pete accidentally critiques capitalism on TV. A German will make a movie about the subtle and all-equalizing majesty of Japanese restrooms.
