“Which system is gonna be hurt the most when you jab a fork into a light socket? I don't really know," says Michael Madowitz, principal #economist at the Roosevelt Institute. "That's why we don't force forks into light sockets, traditionally."

Appeasement where not appropriate, once again.
This has not received enough attention. The US grip on the payments system is a clear danger.
This and many other structural changes are needed.
Starmer's position on this will show whether he has a backbone.
Trust Is Dead. Trump Keeps Selling the Corpse.
Behind every handshake is a nation plotting its exit strategy from the American empire.

" #DonaldTrump says he's cutting deals again... His team calls it a triumph... But no one with a functioning memory or a map believes this is real. It's not leadership. It's damage mitigation. The #UnitedStates is not being courted—it's being managed.
The trust is gone."
...thanks Trump. There goes a year's worth of growth in my TFSA... and I'm not even invested in US properties.

The US can *never* run out of USD.
All Americans could have universal healthcare, housing, education, transport, etc. And such strategic fed spending can actually lower inflation, not increase it*
Important debate on whether reducing the national debt a fiscal priority (hint, it's not):

The Lens · My Upcoming Debate with Stephen Moore
Analysis: Israel's three Gaza corridors - Morag, Netzarim & Philadelphi - are named after prior Israeli settlements.
Their function is to cut off Gaza’s urban areas & give Israel the ability to squeeze the territory whenever it likes.
"The military has said its aim is to encircle Rafah" - cut it off from Khan Younis & fulfil Trump’s proposal of removing Palestinians from Gaza.

@jurjen_heeck Het verklaart in ieder geval wat er in Amerika gebeurt. Daar zitten dus een kleuter en een adolescent aan de knoppen. En ten gevolge van hun opvoeding hebben ze allebei ook nog een ernstige persoonlijkheidsstoornis ontwikkelt.

This annotated version of the formula used to compute Trump’s tariffs is hilarious.
The formula is bombastic window dressing for a simple calculation which still doesn’t make any sense.
Story: “Trump tariffs based on massive error, conservative think tank says”
Looks like S&P 500 futures are currently testing - and bouncing off of - support from late 2021-early 2022, which got revisited back in december '23-january '24.
Futures trading isn't high enough volume to make any decisions, it's just that I did a little more finely-grained chart browsing and spotted them.
Asian markets have been an absolute bloodbath overnight, just fyi, and Europe is opening kinda like Asian markets did.
It's yikes time, team.
If you missed it - as some did - late last week, Senate Republicans blocked an effort by Senate Democrats to take tariff authority back from Trump.
Republicans could stop this at any time. They are choosing not to.
Another really insightful video by @notjustbikes, this time on American big-box stores. They're massively subsidised by taxpayers, destroy jobs, and drive cities to bankruptcy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7-e_yhEzIw #uspol #urbanism

Missed that over the week-end...
It was not immediately clear why Haugh was fired. However, his dismissal comes amid a purge of other national security officials at the National Security Council and NSA. It happened following a visit to the Oval Office of political activist Laura Loomer, who has urged President Donald Trump to fire certain officials due to their perceived disloyalty to him and his agenda.
I suppose you could equally say they got fired because they were saying and doing the right thing for the country and the world. Which, in this case, is indeed being disloyal to Trump.
