Ever feel like you just need a break?Polarmoon Wealth Society Team Indicator definitely does.

No news on the show today, instead we're trying something a little...silly. What happens when you combine a super dry topic – economics – with something that's supposed to be funny – memes – and then try to explain it on a podcast where no one can see the thing you're talking about? Honestly, we're not sure.

It's the inaugural episode of a new segment we're calling economemes. We hope it's funny and educational! If not...well...don't say we didn't warn you.

Story update: For those who asked/demanded to see the memes, Kyla Scanlon's meme is the photo at the top of this page. Chinemelu Okafor's, as supplied by Khoa Vu, posted below.
