Meet 180 Life Sciences, a biotech company that just pulled off the corporate equivalent of "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom" by ditching drug development for crypto hoarding—and somehow convinced Peter Thiel to throw money at them.
The company, which is rebranding itself as "ETHZilla" (because nothing says serious business like adding "-zilla" to your name), just saw ...

The CPI Report: When Good News Is Bad News and Bad News Is Also Bad News
So here's the thing about this week's inflation report: it's basically a financial Kobayashi Maru. You know, that Star Trek test where there's literally no way to win? Yeah, that's where we are with the July CPI data.
