Bullshit Filter 133 - The Donut Shop Economy

from The Bullshit Filter · host Cameron Reilly & Ray Harris

In this episode of The Bullshit Filter, Cameron and Ray unpack the mythology around Donald Trump’s tariff policies, the real story behind the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the long, hypocritical game the U.S. has played when it comes to global trade. Cameron breaks down the roots of China’s role as the world’s factory, how the U.S. engineered it, and why Americans are now whining about the monster they created. There’s historical context, biting analogies, and a rant or two about Australia’s rejection of MAGA-style politics in their latest federal election. If you’ve ever wondered how China got so damn good at capitalism or why Americans are losing their minds over trade deficits, strap in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
