  • Is that the average 4chaner?

  • Trump targets hundreds of University of California faculty over opposition to Gaza genocide

    Jump

  • I for one find “Genocide Don” quite catchy. The problem with this label is that the man himself and most of his supporters will likely just shrug it off as if it weren't worth denying; it would be like calling a paid assassin a “murderer”.

  • If Putin's tables are anything to go by, those Russian couches must be nice and curvy in JD's eyes.

  • Yeah… I still have clips of Blackwater's ‘adventures’ in Iraq. If they're still as humane and accountable as they were back then, seeing them anywhere is a bad omen.

  • DOGE goons physically drag social security worker from desk

    Jump

  • That's exactly it. Owners want people desperate, because desperate people work for less. As you point out, they start with “illegals”, but they will eventually come for the old and the disabled too, because some people will have to pick up where Social Security left and care for them and, in doing so, will become even more desperate. Who will risk their job fighting for their rights knowing that not only their own livelihood, but also that of their old mother or their disabled brother is on the line? We need to be clear: this is not about government efficiency or even a crackdown on “illegals”, but a war — the owners' war on us workers and our kin.

    They've been manufacturing consent in a similar way in Germany, agitating against immigrants and dubbing some or all people in your situation “Sozialschmarotzer” –“social parasites”–. Under the pretense of fighting those threats they conjure, they've been dismantling social security — without DOGE's viciousness, but bit by bit.

  • Trump exempts smartphones from reciprocal tariffs after market rout

    Jump

  • All that big talk about forcing countries to negotiate

    Trump indeed touts tariffs as international leverage, but they're just as much if not more of a domestic power play that forces US businesses to kiss the ring in order to get exemptions. Businesses that pledge allegiance keep their supply chains and survive, whereas those that don't satisfy the Mango get to pay tariffs and compete with exempted businesses in a weakening consumer market with decreasing purchasing power.

  • Elon Musk’s government efficiency push falls short as Treasury data shows spending up sharply since Trump’s inauguration: report

    Jump

  • In his first term, Trump increased both the budget deficit and total outstanding debt with his unsustainable fiscal policy. Now, his antagonistic and erratic trade policy is raising Treasury yields. He and his political project are brewing the very debt crisis they keep fearmongering about. The solutions they contemplate, like currency devaluation, messing with the Federal Reserve, perpetual or century bonds and a partial default on repayment obligations to China, further erode trust in the global financial system that underpins American power.

  • World’s reserve currency. When it inevitably switches to the yuan

    That's neither inevitable nor likely at this point. China's capital controls, ongoing devaluation of its currency and demonstrated willingness to prioritize the state over investors –at least some of which are positive things I wish we had– make Chinese assets in general and the renminbi in particular not investible to the degree necessary to achieve reserve status. The euro has better chances for now, especially if European debt is unified and becomes more liquid.

  • There’s No Coming Back From Trump’s Tariff Disaster | America was the world’s economic anchor. Thanks to the president, it may never have that role again.

    Jump

  • The expression “world economic anchor” is meant literally and factually: the United States are the world's strongest consumer market and therefore drive demand and economic activity like no other, and, more importantly, the US dollar and Treasuries serve as a reserve currency and asset, respectively, for both central banks and private investors. This arrangement is unfair, in its own macroeconomic ways that have nothing to do with exceptionalism, manifest destiny or cultural superiority, to both the rest of the world, who end up funding the United States, and common US denizens, who suffer from inflated assets.

  • Not to speak of options. With how high volatility got, writing puts must have made bank, and, despite that high volatility, buying calls must have too.

  • Trump Plans $92 Million Military Parade—Honoring Himself | Donald Trump is pulling straight from the dictator’s playbook.

    Jump

  • I think this charade parade is both a play to his MAGA base and a sort of loyalty test to see who in the military goes along with him.

  • RFK Jr to tell CDC to end fluoride recommendation for drinking water

    Jump

  • On the one hand, scurvy is not a concern, because it is very unlikely to develop it, even with a bad diet, as far as I know. On the other hand, it might not be possible, economically viable or environmentally sound to add vitamin C to water in the way fluoridation is; I don't know enough to judge here.

  • It's fascinating how some people, however fringe, believe both:

    • that there is a Deep State or some other form of conspiracy that controls hurricanes and people's minds; and
    • that Trump –or anyone else for that matter– can rein in such a powerful, almost omnipotent force.
