The Economic Fallout from Iran (6 dominoes will fall) | ZFS 61

Send us Fan MailThis is not a “hot take” episode. This is a dominoes episode.We lay out six dominoes that connect the Iran war to your day to day life: fuel, food, famine, the Fed, the freeze, and the real end result, freedom. If the Strait of Hormuz stays unstable and oil stays elevated, everything downstream gets more expensive: shipping, manufacturing, groceries, and the basic cost of living.Then we show the fertilizer problem that nobody is talking about enough. Urea spikes hit farmers at the worst time of year, and they only have two options: pay more or use less. Either way, that cost lands in your grocery cart.After that, we break down why the Fed is trapped, why mortgage rates don’t come down if inflation stays sticky, and why a frozen market is still a crisis even without a “crash.”And we finish with the part that matters most: what happens to freedom when the system gets stressed.Support the show
