In this bonus episode of The Lonely Liberal, I dive into a very serious question that has been occupying too much headspace for me: Are Trump’s new China tariffs really driving up the price of the Nintendo Switch 2? From console hardware and accessories to global supply chains, currency shifts, and manufacturing costs, we break down what’s really behind Nintendo’s surprisingly high price tags — and whether political trade wars are the main culprit or just one piece of the puzzle. If you love video games, global economics, or just want to understand how political decisions ripple all the way down to your next gaming console, this one’s for you.…
We are back! In this episode of The Lonely Liberal, we unpack one of the most common myths in American life: that a rising stock market means a healthy economy. From the shift away from pensions to 401(k)s, to the rise of stock buybacks and the concentration of market wealth in the hands of the richest 10%, we look at how Wall Street’s obsession with short-term profits has eroded jobs, wages, and long-term security for everyday Americans. Why are we forced to cheer for a system that’s hurting us — and what could a better, fairer economy look like?
