Question of the Day: Do you think eventual scarcity of packs could result in higher prices? (especially once HWG runs out of almost everything) Or will there be enough unopened packs out there?

January vlog:

Computer issues

potential economic problems coming    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by1OgqQQANg

expect less Pirates content this year

looking for podcast guests

Preference going forward would be 1 THC session, 1 podcast, and 1 separate Pirates video per week, but can’t promise anything.
