In The Tank

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Justin Haskins present episode 389 of the In The Tank Podcast. There is a lot to talk about. The Silicon Valley Bank went bust. Was this failure brought on by bad business practices or it this a sign of things to come? Also, what are the politics at play in regards to the plan to "bailout" the failing bank? Also, Joe Biden just approved a large oil project in Alaska. Has Biden reversed his position on fossil fuel production? But more important than any of these stories.... CHAT GPT LIED TO ME!!!!!!
