The Higher Standard

Episode 248 of The Higher Standard is here and Saied, Chris and Haroon break down the key takeaways from the Fed's decision to cut a full 50bps for its first rate cut of the cycle. The last two times this happened historically was in 2001 and 2007. After each of those was a notable recessionary economy.

➡️ Real estate agents are also dropping like flies already, falling to the lowest number of reported employed agents since 2014. Almost as shocking is that the 23andMe CEO Anne Wojicicki has lost her entire board of directors in a single day. Lastly, as tragic as the Diddy situation may be, you know they guys had to unpack it and cover some of the absolutely stunning and strange revelations.
