In this episode, we talk (mostly) all things money, markets and jobs. With all the prognostications from some of the most influential experts on Wall and Main Street mulling a recession, and some seeing it striking America this year, RODNEY McMULLEN, CEO at Kroger Co, the biggest supermarket operator, has nailed it. Consumers are behaving  as if they are already in a recession, he says. We'll take a look underneath the hood of this strange and befuddling US and global economy, weigh up where we are at on all cylinders, political and economic. Labor force expert, IRA WOLFE, host of the GEEKS, GEEZERS & GOOGLIZATION Podcast, will help us make sense of all the noise and clutter. We'll also offer a sneak preview of our upcoming interview on HAPPINESS with DR. CHARLES P. NEMETH.

According to RAKESH SHARMA, one of the most enduring mysteries of Bitcoin is the identity of its founder, Satoshi Nakamoto. "Little is known about this person or group, and their identity has never been confirmed," the writer adds in a post on Investopedia. "In October 2008, a message signed by Satoshi Nakamoto titled "Bitcoin P2P e-cash paper" announced the creation of the cryptocurrency. For the next two years, Satoshi remained active in the community, communicating with others in the development of the blockchain. Satoshi's last message on the Bitcoin forums was posted in December 2010, though unverified private messages from April 2011 have surfaced." This is an intriguing time for the volatile crypto markets with the spectacular fallout from the collapse of the FTX crypto platform and a blitz of significant pieces on crypto by industry leaders. One piece in the Wall Street Journal calls for a ban on crypto by US regulators following the example of the Chinese government. There is also a controversial theory making the rounds based on an academic study by Sean Griffin that may show evidence of bitcoin being artificially propped up by a secretive group.

A native of New York, Chris Slattery followed his dream to support pregnant women and girls in a crisis with practical alternatives to abortion, launching EMC (Expectant Mother Care) FrontLine Pregnancy Centers in mid-town Manhattan in 1985.  EMC, led by Chris, was NYC’s first crisis pregnancy center. Chris pioneered  the use of onsite ultrasound and pre-natal care in a crisis center in the mid-80s, and introduced 3D and 4D ultrasound in lifesaving work when  the technology was first available.  He also introduced mobile ultrasounds alongside sidewalk counseling teams in major cities, at abortion  clinics.  

EMC has offered over 100,000 pregnant women in crisis – free pregnancy  testing, on-site ultrasounds, pro-life counseling, onsite subsidized  pre-natal care, STD testing, and on-site adoption arrangements,  referrals for housing and legal aid, and material assistance.   Chris is  married to Eileen Tierney, and they have four children.   Chris launched the first Mobile Ultrasound Clinic, in a major US city,  on the streets of the Bronx, and Jackson Heights, Queens.  

EMC launched  “Operation FrontLine” in late February 2007, and has drawn national, and  local media attention to this innovation, such as a November ’07  profile on the CBN-700 Club, and EMC has been featured on ABC Nightline.  Chris was the confirmation sponsor for Dr. Bernard Nathanson, and was  awarded the Champion for Life award by John Cardinal O’Connor.
