1. A message from the Illinois comptroller She mentions the effects of the state not having a budget, . A politician, but still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH-Z7-PMIwI&feature=youtu.be

   1. Seems pretty solid – will post.

3. This article is so disheartening. Having been born and raised in Northern Illinois ( moved away two years ago) it is heartbreaking
   To see what is happening there. But to use it as a way to bring in crytocurtency just adds insult to injury. Has this been the plan all along??

   1. Turbo Chipper = Clueless. 🙂

4. Hi Catherine,

   Here is a very informative article on Zero Hedge (via the Econimica blog) that may be of interest to your subscribers. The ramifications seem huge for the world economy, but especially pertinent to the USA. I would certainly be interested in your take and if you see a way out of the bind. Thanks!

   1. This is one of the reasons the US wants to encourage so much immigration.

5. Catherine,

   Are you using the built in laptop microphone to record your segments? Sometimes segments are tinny and compressed sounding (maybe it is just my hearing). Might you invest in a microphone?

   “The obligation to declare amounts in any form over $10,000 exists, irrespective of whether custom officials have a way of detecting such holdings. Since digital currencies technically travel with the holder [wherever] the holder goes, one would have to declare one’s entire crypto portfolio each time the holder entered the U.S.”

7. Hi Catherine, I live in California and am treading lightly as I have conversations with my grandson. I just gave him Rules for Arguments and we’re playing at taking both sides on issues. Your interview with Saker is truly a blessing. The quality of respectful engagement is outstanding! You say, ‘let me disagree with you for a minute,’ he, after listening well replies, ‘allow me to argue with you on that.’
   Fantastic modeling of respectful engagement. I recommend Solari friends listen again with attention to process the second time. Tweet or share as an example. Thank you Catherine. See you July 8th.

   1. Such an interesting insight on this conversation. Saker and I come from very different disciplines, so it is always a learning experience.
