The Great Delisting: Home Sellers Scoff at Peasant Prices

By Artis Shepherd
> Housing prices are not rising like they did a short time ago, thanks to higher interest rates. Bringing down those rates, however, would be counterproductive.


> Viewed in isolation, these trends could be viewed as good, bad, or neutral. But in the proper context—that of monetary policy that increasingly makes upward mobility harder—they illustrate a stagnating society. For the young in particular, building a meaningful life is increasingly constrained by policies that inflate asset prices, devalue wages, and punish saving.

> While monetary inflation has various economic effects—predictable and surprising, direct and indirect—this article seeks to explore the effects of monetary inflation on food. Specifically, debased currency leads to debased food.

The Not So Wild, Wild West (2021)

By Terry Anderson & P.J. Hill
> It appears in the absence of formal government, that the Western frontier was not as wild as legend would have us believe.
- The West, although often dependent upon market peacekeeping agencies, was, for the most part, orderly.
- Different standards of justice did prevail and various preferences for rules were expressed through the market place.
- Competition in defending and adjudicating rights does have beneficial effects. Market agencies provided useful ways of measuring the efficiency of government alternatives. The fact that government’s monopoly on coercion was not taken as seriously as at present meant that when that monopoly was poorly used, market alternatives arose.
NBA Redraft: 2011
I hope you took careful notes, because we've got one heck of a decision to make this year.
The Cavs are picking first, based on your observations of one of the possible timelines, who should they take with this pick.
Bonus: rank your top 3 players in the comments.
Which happens first? Ohtani vs Jameis
I was shocked that @grayruby was unaware of Jameis Winston's historic significance in the NFL.
Just as Ohtani is the only player in MLB history to have 50 homeruns and 50 stolen bases in the same season, Jameis is the only player in NFL history to throw 30 touchdown passes and 30 interceptions in the same season.
Which of them will have company in their prestigious club first?
Bonus: Which of these clubs will be bested first? As in, will a player have 60 homeruns and 60 stolen bases in the same season, before someone throws 40 touchdowns and 40 interceptions in the same season?
**Episode Description**
> Undisciplined and GrayRuby talk NFL preseason, building the Stacker Sports app, AFL playoffs, how MLB rule changes have changed the game, NBA redraft and a new What happens first.
NBA Redraft 8/21: 2010
The Wizards are on the clock. You've just returned from your time-travel scouting mission.
Who do you advise them to take? Rank your top 3 in the comments.
Which happens first? Jerry Rice vs Lebron James
Catching up on the backlog of these questions from the pod:
Jerry Rice caught a pass in 274 consecutive games, beginning 12/9/1985 and ending 9/19/2004.
LeBron James has scored at least 10 points in 1289 consecutive games, beginning 1/6/2007 and continuing to the present.
Will someone beat Rice's 274 game streak or Lebron's streak (however long it ends up being) first?
Eager to hear your reasoning in the comments.
