Episode Details

Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, September 14th, 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 cutting through two ridiculous trending news stories - golf course zoom photography and the Queen's funeral - involving former president Trump that are a waste of everyone's time, unless you are are news media and need the Trump name to move numbers. We skip the caterwauling and spinning over the Consumer Price Index and inflation numbers by reading the full release and source information from the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics including year-to-year comparisons and trends on more than just the headline making numbers. Our guest today is Eugene Ralph, Jr. a Young Voices contributor and economist and joins to discuss his piece "A Recession Is Necessary, Though Unwelcome." Eugene talks the necessity of the economy having ups and downs, how the metrics and debate over "is it/isn't it a recession" miss the point and are often wrong, infalted, or don't tell the whole story. Eugene also talks bureaucrac, corruption, housing policy, and all sorts of economic issues and the cultural and political discourse surrounding them, plus his architectural hopes for King Charles III. Also, we talk the continuing movement in numbers among Hispanic voters in Texas in the RVG and border communities, and how politics is still local even with a hot button national issue. Finally, we end the show talking about people who talk to their plants, and how it may actually not be a bad thing at all.All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.
