Investors dare to imagine a world beyond the dollar The US could dismantle its own exorbitant privilege by pushing the big bond market beasts into the arms of others

Asevarustelun lisäksi Euroopan kannattaa alkaa voimakkaasti investoida sekä ottaa vastaan Yhdysvallat jättävät pääomat ja aivovuodon.

The graph's starting point is Inauguration Day. Losing eight points in approval rating in five weeks must be some kind of a record.

Pääministeri Orpo lienee ainoa ihminen, joka ei ole saanut "mitään viitteitä" siitä että Suomen ja USAn kahdenvälinen turvallisuussuhde olisi muutoksessa.

On tärkeää että valtiojohtomme ei toista idioottimaisuuksia ja kiellä tosiasioita. Vakaa toiminta Euroopan tasolla rauhoittaa, ei lässytys.

Tämä Purran hallitus ei voi jatkaa. On täysin epärealistista kuvitella, että EU voisi tukea Ukrainaa ja vahvistaa Euroopan puolustusta ilman yhteisvelkaa nyt, kun USA on Putinin puolella. Purran hallitus on eksistentiaalinen uhka Suomelle.

Trump blindsides staff, Congress with conflicting Medicaid messages Republicans are getting worried about how much they'll have to cut from the popular health safety-net program, and whether the president will protect them from political blowback.

Cognitive degeneration...?

"Trump surprised some of his own staff Wednesday when he endorsed a House budget that would gut Medicaid, hours after pledging that the safety net program “isn’t going to be touched.”

The comments sent aides scrambling to figure out what Trump meant"

I think it's the first case in human history where a nation fighting for its survival against a major aggressor is being forced—by a non-combatant partner—into paying Versailles-style reparations over military aid that had earlier been provided purposefully at no cost.

For me, the worst about Trump's unimaginably terrifying "Ukraine started the war" comment is that it destroys my sense of reality. Am I awake? Am I hallucinating? Is everything an illusion that can implode any moment? If I end up in a padded room, you know who to blame.

Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

Investoinnit ovat tuossa juuri se ongelma. Kv-mediassa on pohdittu, mistä kaikki suuret setelit löytyvät ja onko EU:ssa tahtoa yhteisiin investointeihin. Ovat ehkä ratkaistavissa olevia asioita, mutta ei siitä helppoa tule. Oikea tavoite, hankala praxis. Valitettavasti.

Republicans who criticised Trump have been expelled from the party and heavily vilified. Criticism of Trump is virtually forbidden, with immediate political punishment. Now the fatal cost of opposing Trump is also a reality in the bureaucracy.

Trump and his administration have been portrayed as defenders of free speech. The truth is quite the contrary. The presidential decree against DEI prohibits even mentioning certain issues. (cont. below)
