El Niño is back, and it is already happening. Last time a weather event this strong hit, the global economy lost nearly $6 trillion. This time it is arriving on top of post-war inflation, elevated energy costs, and supply chains that are still finding their feet. We break down what El Niño actually is, why the timing is brutal, and where Vic sees a genuinely interesting long-term investing opportunity sitting inside all of it. Plus: the biggest IPO in history just landed, Elon Musk is officially a trillionaire, and the UK has finally banned social media for under-16s. We get into the financial side of that too, including which platform is going to feel it most.💍 Getting married, been married, or just been to a lot of weddings?
