This episode begins somewhat bombastically, with a special one-time-only intro! Then we get down to business -- a shout-out to Jerome Powell as well as Joe's favorite fighter jet. Then we actually get down to business. Heather explains the petrodollar, oil, and the economics of all this... well, all this. Can you imagine how well a non-moron could understand everything? Well you don't have to imagine! Subscribe to Heather's substack "Everyday Economics." Also, watch the news, because sometimes Heather just shows up there!

We had a brief delay (usually we release these on Wednesdays) because this show is for fun and real life takes priority!

Heather shares from her wealth of knowledge and experience about the economics of housing.

In the middle (during our break for socials and plugs) she also related a touching and inspiring story from her beginnings in broadcast media.

We hope you enjoy the show.

We're on YouTube, X, and bluesky as @moronomics, but Joe hasn't gotten into the habit of posting at any of them yet. Email us at [email protected].

At the request of a listener, we did an episode on cryptocurrency. Apologies for Joe's audio -- he didn't realize it was so bad until after the recording.

Check out Everyday Economics, the substack that Heather writes! She's also @byheatherlong on X

Reach out to an old friend - someone you haven't talked to in a while.

In this episode, Heather explains tariffs. But wait! There was big news about tariffs! So there's a first ever COLD OPEN about the tariff news. Then we get back to normal, Heather trying to explain tariffs to Joe.

Heather explains the concept of Time Preference. Joe kind of understands.
