He sets out the account rules, the timing before the November 3 election, and the math on how far the diesel goes. He ties them to his view that a few large companies and the state now control access to markets.KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSEDWhat do Trump Accounts do, and who gains from them?How does the Dell pledge connect to Dell’s Pentagon contract?How far does 4.8 million tonnes of Russian diesel go against U.S. demand?ABOUT BARDSFMBardsFM is a daily independent podcast covering faith, liberty, history, and information warfare.
