Forgot to mention at least one important caveat.

To some analysts current data doesn't suggest an inflationary pressure as a result of the #Trump #tariffs but, given the sorry state of the #US #economy right now, rather a #MarginSqueeze with (more) #layoffs & mass #bankruptcy as a result.

That of course would not be helpful at all, meaning a jump from the frying pan into the fire.

Others even foresee a #stagflation, combining the worst of two worlds.

Anyway, change will come. 🌎


Does anyone remember the aftermath of the second term of the Bush/Cheney presidency? The time to start preparing has already passed. Plan now.

Thanks everyone for participating in my "Why is #Trump trying to crash the US #economy?" poll. Interesting results.

Here's a different & potentially overlooked aspect of it - personal enrichment.

Trump wants to "#BuyTheDip" and for that he's willing to hurt the american people like hell.

#Musk task on the other hand is to make sure, that the populace (and especially the armed right wing insurgency) hates everything "woke" more than being plundered by #billionaires.

Oh dear... every economy, US, China, Europe, Russia, ... is on the brink of collapse according to youTube video suggestions. It's ridiculous.
I can believe that Russia is i deep trouble. Russia had been for some time despite Putin's creative ways to cope with massive sanctions while waging a war.
I can believe that Trump is crushing the economy fast and furious with his tariffs and workforce deportation. Just ask Great Britain ...

#UK - The number of children in poverty in the UK has reached its highest level since comparative records began in 2002.

> In the year to April 2024, there were 4.45 million children living in a household of relative low income after housing costs are deducted - the government's own standard measure for #poverty.

> The figure, [..], is an increase of 100,000 children from the previous year - and equates to 31% of #children in the UK.

European leaders are struggling to find the funds and political will to increase military spending and support Ukraine, despite their tough talk against the US and Russia.

Unity is already fracturing, particularly when it comes to borrowing money and raising collective debt. Ursula von der Leyen's plan to rearm Europe, called "ReArm Europe," has been rebranded as "Readiness 2030" due to opposition from Italy and Spain.

An interesting way to look at the influence of #China (#PRC) on other #countries: the #ChinaIndex.

The highest-"ranking" country in Europe is mine: #Germany.

»The China Index seeks to establish an interactive world map that visualizes the PRC‘s evolving influence in different countries. The Index captures PRC influence across nine Domains: #Academia, Domestic Politics, #Economy, Foreign Policy, #Law Enforcement, #Media, #Military, #Society, and #Technology. Each of these Domains contains 11 Indicators corresponding to an observable phenomenon of PRC influence, and presents comparable data collected by regional partners through collaboration with local experts.«

"Ultimately, the book seems fine to me. I’d say the policy specifics are a bit of a retread, but that’s not really a critique: the authors never claim novelty and the book itself is literally a retread of some articles they wrote for The Atlantic and The New York Times. It’s a pop policy book written for a Malcolm Gladwell type of audience, which is a valuable thing for a political movement to have. In short, I think the pique over the book is out of proportion to what the book is.

With that said, the broader Abundist world that the book is attempting to push forward — a world that appears to be teeming with libertarians, right-wing Democrats like Jared Polis and Ritchie Torres, refugees of the effective altruist implosion, and tech sector types — does seem like it could head in some pretty bad directions that Abundance would fit naturally into. But this would not be the fault of Klein and Thompson."

"It's because of China alone, really, that the entire world now has an abundance of cheap manufactured goods, from gadgets to air conditioners, and increasingly higher-end items like cars. But it hasn't significantly redounded to the benefit of Chinese shareholders. There's been a bit of a rally lately, but mostly it's been pretty dead money.

I think there is a sense in which successful efforts like China’s Made in 2025 initiative can be understood as an Operation Warp Speed policy across several key industries that have managed to harness private initiative but also made it so that private industry keeps plowing those profits back into more research and investment, leaving little left over for the shareholder.

And so what I worry about when I read Thompson and Klein talk about Operation Warp Speed is that they're right, and that this kind of public-private interplay is necessary for actual abundance, but that the US economy, as it operates, can't withstand the sustained, costly investment necessary for it to work; that our existing economic model has too much riding on a perpetual rise in the value of financial assets and that this would be threatened if profits keep having to get reinvested for the public good.

And that, therefore, what reads like a happy, wonky replication of a successful endeavor actually amounts to a dramatic rethinking of our political economy that would require a tremendous amount of will on both sides of the aisle, and a totally new way of establishing broad-based economic stability. It might be good and necessary, but getting there is a political project far beyond getting liberals to see things through a new lens."

Silicon Valley's technology promise has become a nightmare

"Reading and watching the dutiful daily coverage of Trump’s trade war, you might well have no idea just how crazy it is.

The reality is this: There’s no good reason for it, it hurts everyone, and it’s arguably going to tank the American and international economies."

Wall Street suffered its worst day of the year yesterday. Trump's trade war sent stocks tumbling, as fears of a recession escalated. The Dow tumbled 900 points and the NASDAQ plunged 4%, wiping out more than $1 trillion in value.

Today, the stock market fell further, briefly dropping more than 10% below its record. If this leads to a recession, it will absolutely be a Trump-induced recession. https://shorturl.at/aqhG4 #press #economy

Musk is beholden to China -Xi for his batteries, tesla.

Gov't contractor, Oligarch selling out to China. Anyone surprised?

Do Americans want to trust their space business and exploration to a company in which the Chinese have a significant stake?

Musk: "I want taxpayer money. I don't want to pay taxes. I don't want regulations. So I'll just buy the government of the United States and fire everybody."

Twitter crashes.
SpaceX explodes.
And now for America.
