Tom breaks down how NYC went from spending $102 million on homelessness services in 2019 to a projected $456 million in 2026 — and how the homeless population grew anyway. The shocking figure at the center of it all: $81,700 spent per homeless person per year — more than the median household income in New York City.
Tom breaks down the viral controversy surrounding influencers traveling to Cuba — and why he thinks the outrage is aimed at entirely the wrong target. While much of the online debate has focused on generators, hotel parties, and electricity use during Cuba's ongoing blackouts, Tom argues that fixating on those details is looking at a single tree instead of the forest. The real story, he says, is the return of what he calls the "useful idiot" playbook — a historically documented pattern where motivated, ideologically driven individuals carry propaganda water for repressive regimes, often at enormous cost to the people trapped inside them.
Tom looks at one of the most remarkable — and most ignored — economic turnarounds in modern history: Argentina under Javier Milei. When Milei took office in December 2023, Argentina was in freefall. Inflation was running above 200% annually, government spending was completely out of control, and nearly 20 million Argentines were living in poverty. Critics called his solution — slashing spending, eliminating subsidies, devaluing the currency, and firing thousands of government workers — economic suicide.
