Whatever Interests Me

  Ground beef just hit a record $6.89 a pound, up 80% since 2019 — and nobody along the supply chain sees relief coming. Ranchers like Eric Gropper point to years of drought that have shrunk cattle herds to their lowest level in decades. Meanwhile, meatpackers have been hammered by labor shortages and plant closures. And restaurants have had no choice but to keep raising prices. But how much of this is the market, and how much is manipulation? Since the late 1970s, just four companies — Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef — have come to control roughly 80% of the American beef market. The Justice Department is now investigating, and McDonald's and Target are among those suing over alleged price-fixing. So how much has consolidation driven up prices? And would breaking up these companies actually lead to lower beef prices?

Briggs & Stratton has been making engines since 1908. Over ten million engines every year. Sold in over 100 countries. Their stock peaked at $40 a share in 2004. By 2020, it was under $1. On July 20th, 2020, they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with over $1 billion in debt. A private equity firm called KPS Capital Partners bought the company for $550 million. Creditors got 7-10 cents on the dollar. Shareholders got nothing.   In this video, we expose what actually killed Briggs & Stratton — how the company removed oil drain plugs from consumer engines and marketed it as "Just Check & Add Technology," switched to plastic carburetors that clog and cannot be rebuilt, eliminated adjustable mixture screws so the engine runs lean from the factory, and chased big box price targets until the quality collapsed. We break down the difference between the Vanguard commercial line that still makes real engines and the consumer line that is designed to last exactly as long as yo...

An emergency room patient shares her story of being signed up for a line of credit to pay for medical bills.  Now, some states are trying to curb the use of medical credit cards as patients raise red flags of high interest rates and credit impact. 

What if the reason families were healthier in the 1950s wasn’t medicine… but the way they lived? In this video, we travel back to 1955, to a warm kitchen where dinner is cooking, children are doing homework at the table, and life moves at a slower, more human pace. Long before modern wellness trends, 1950s families were unknowingly practicing habits that protected their immune system, mental health, and overall well-being. So why did people seem to get sick less often back then? The answer isn’t one secret. It’s a lifestyle that modern society has almost forgotten. In this journey through the past, you’ll discover: • Why waking with the sun kept the body’s circadian rhythm healthy • How simple daily movement strengthened the immune system • The surprising health benefits of real home-cooked food • Why bone broth, real butter, and whole foods were powerful nutrition • How sunlight and Vitamin D protected families from illness • The science behind gardening and soil bacteria improving mo...
