Your Heard Tell for Thursday, September 15th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the time we live in by turning down the noise on the latest economic numbers and data. Our guest is economist & friend Stephen Popick who answers questions and get to the plain meaning of the Consumer Price Index report, inflation, political spin, and economic angst. Stephen talks us through what projections economist got right, what they got wrong, and what surprised as energy costs eased but food, good, and services all increased. Stephen also takes on the contention that the middle class is "disappearing" and the economic effects of women in the work force not just historically, but the large movement in numbers during the COVID shutdowns. Stephen also takes on the big questions of what comes next, have we seen the worst of economic hard times, or is there more trouble on the way. Also, host Andrew dusts off his transportation career experience to talk the looming rail freight strike, what it would mean to an already turbulent economy, and some optimism beneath the concerns. Plus, from the latest Heard Tell Podcast Ben Harris from the UK talks the future of the royal family, does the media obsession with Harry and Mehgan match the UK feelings about them, media coverage, and what comes next after the Queen is laid to rest.All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
