@LiberalEffects I'm not an economist, but I have an MBA and know the classical theories about inflation are not applicable to today. The Fed is basically acting like Larry Kudlow would if he were on the Fed. It's fucked up.

For about a year, Donald Trump’s confidants, advisers and boosters have worried that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was positioning himself to get to the former president’s right over the issue of Covid vaccine

DeSantis deepened those suspicions nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elec

Being “woke” is a GOOD thing for it means we have EMPATHY for others!

Indeed, Plato said: “The HIGHEST form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world!” Selfish people will NEVER understand this!

If Tesla’s board of directors wasn’t stacked with Elon, his brother, right wing nut Larry Ellison and Fox family scion James Murdoch, they would have fired his ass for tanking their company.

This is a big deal decades in the making. It's going to really piss off the rogue nations that rely on the value of oil to our economy to leverage their global influence. Once we can release clean energy in the same process ongoing in the stars, we can stop pretending these oil-countries are on our side. energy.gov/articles/doe-nation

And we could get to work cleaning up the atmosphere and addressing climate change.

It wouldn't be paradise, but it would create a lot of options that we don't have at the moment.

For that very reason, a lot of people invested in the status quo are likely to be against it.

“My fear is that we’ll view Sam Bankman-Fried as just one big snake in a crypto Garden of Eden," Congressman Brad Sherman says. "The fact is, crypto is a garden of snakes.”

Don’t be fooled by Sec of State Raffensperger's faux heroism, supposedly standing up to Trump. He's the enforcer of Jim Crow 2.0 in Georgia, and only released one of 29 calls from Trump, the final CYA call when Trump demanded he commit an obvious felony. He has a crucial fact which he refuses to reveal: whether Kemp suggested Trump call Raffensperger to do the dirty. Kemp just launched his presidential campaign. Will Trump be indicted? Maybe. Will we learn the truth about Kemp? Fugeddaboidit.

The Fed’s failure to stem inflation is partly due to events outside the United States — Putin’s war in Ukraine, China’s lockdown, and post-COVID demand worldwide exceeding worldwide supplies of all sorts of materials and components.

But it’s also because domestic inflation is being driven by profits, not wages. And interest rate hikes don’t reduce profit-driven inflation — at least not directly. Instead, workers and consumers take the hit.

There was broad consensus among Nazi & Italian Fascist physical anthropologists that Black people were utterly inferior & there were marked Negroid elements in Jews. The Ku Klux Klan lumped Blacks and Jews together. In 1910, Dr Arthur Talmage Abernethy, well-educated author of some 50 books, wrote The Jew a Negro, arguing "the Jew of today, as well as his ancestors in other times is the kinsman and descendant of the Negro”.

Because they are losers and they know it.
