Somewhere / Anywhere
Somewhere / Anywhere takes Spain and Latin America as a baseline and builds outward. Geopolitics, economics, technology—through incentives, institutions, and state capacity. Cosmopolitan by instinct, liberal by method, unsentimental about trade-offs.
This podcast is for listeners who take the world as what it is. Hosted by Rasheed and Diego.

Spain’s "Rocket Economy": Out of Fuel and Falling Fast
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
🚨 The Economic Boom Propaganda has to END 🚨
Ever heard about the "economic rocket" the Spanish government is bragging about? It is a hoax. Instead of soaring upward, Spain is spiraling into debt, joblessness, and misery— faster than ever!
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sánchez keeps tightening his grip, silencing judges and the press. Did you realize Spain now leads Europe's misery index BY A MILE? We're at 14.4 points, while the EU average is just 8.8. And that's WITH their statistical games! If we cut through their lies (like the infamous "fijos discontinuos" trick), the real misery number is nearly 19.5 points. 💥🚀📉
They're inflating GDP retroactively just to fake growth, but here's the harsh truth: our GDP per capita is still stuck at the bottom. Debt is SKY-HIGH , taxes are choking families, and foreign investment is running away. Employment hasn't moved since 2019, and wages are flatlining. So what's really improved? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
They claim our "tax burden" is down—but that's PURE PROPAGANDA. By pumping up nominal GDP numbers, they pretend we're paying fewer taxes, while secretly picking our pockets deeper every day. And guess what? They're coming back for MORE taxes that hit the middle class the hardest.
In this video, we're blowing their lies wide open:
✅ How they're cooking the unemployment stats
✅ Why Spain’s "GDP growth" is fake news
✅ The tax hike that's destroying the middle class
