713: New Mediocre
Negative Interest Rates, ECB Protests, Stephanie Witt
The hosts discuss the European Central Bank's (ECB) move to negative interest rates and a high-profile protest where a woman, Stephanie Witt, jumped onto Mario Draghi's desk during a press conference. They describe Witt as a "protester for hire" associated with the group Femen. The discussion also touches on the absurdity of banks potentially having to pay mortgage holders due to negative rates.
