    From 15 Cent Burgers to $50,000 Cars: What Does Normal Really Cost Today? | 07-27-26

    Sam Bushman breaks down a viral story about Scotty's Drive In, a 60-year-old burger joint in Idaho Falls that started selling burgers for 15 cents in 1964. That leads into a deep dive comparing minimum wage, burger sizes, cars, and homes then versus now, and a fascinating back and forth with ChatGPT about whether inflation (CPI) or gold and silver is the better measure of affordability. The real question isn't what things cost; it's what it costs to build an ordinary life today compared to what past generations considered normal.

    105 Million Americans Out of Work: The Truth About $52 Minimum Wage | 07-23-26

    Sam Bushman and Heath Perkins of Freewater Coin Company open with today's gold and silver prices, then dig into the shocking labor report showing 105.8 million Americans classified as outside the workforce, the lowest labor force participation since 2021. They connect this to a startling fact: 1964's $1.25 minimum wage in silver quarters equals about $52 an hour today, meaning young men today face a much harder economic reality than their grandparents did. The conversation turns to hopelessness, suicide rates, and why faith and spiritual grounding matter more than ever. They close by covering Congress approving nearly $95 billion for the Iran conflict and $1.15 trillion in defense spending, a new nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, expanded tech exports to the UAE, and fresh momentum for crypto legislation in the Senate, all signs, they argue, that everything is coming to a head.

    Heath Perkins of Freewater Coin Company joins Liberty RoundTable to break down the Senate's crypto legislation and what it means for a coming digital currency power shift. The conversation covers stablecoin debt tokenization, the risks of private versus central bank digital currencies, the BRICS nations' move toward gold- and silver-backed money, and the volatility built into any digital dollar. Heath and Sam then dig into a striking claim: in 1964, minimum wage was $1.25, which equals roughly $52 an hour today when measured in real silver. They walk through a ChatGPT fact check that confirms the math while revealing how government inflation metrics like the CPI are quietly redefined to hide the truth. It's a sharp, honest look at what sound money reveals about the economy your paycheck can't buy anymore.
