On Thursday I had retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt back on the podcast to talk about the state of the world. We talked about the midterms, the narrative around military bases needing to prepare for grid problems, why people need to be held accountable, and why we are at an inflection point in the economy and financial markets. He also covered some of the problems facing Idaho, the future of the US, and why there will be huge opportunities over the coming decade. You can find Blaine at Dangerous Intellectuals, as well as on Substack and Twitter.
