  • Freak sell-off of ‘safe haven’ US bonds raises fear that confidence in America is fading

    Jump

  • I'm no expert but it seems to me if the yields have to go up to get buyers, it's like raising the interest rates on a loan. You can still get the loan but you have to buy less car/house if you want to afford the payments.

  • America is fucked

    Jump

  • Part of the problem is that the "rugged individualism" that America was founded on also equates to entitlement. The last generations that truly had it rough, where a community spirit was important to surviving are dying or gone, and no one has learned their lesson. Yet.

  • And by married, it’s mostly women. So left/democrat leaning.

  • LayerLapse Simplifies 3D Printer Time-lapse Shots

    Jump

  • Talk about solving a problem no one has, and I’ve seen this article promoted again and again. Time lapse is fun the first two to three times then everyone moves on.

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

    Jump

  • Yet the CDC has science that shows otherwise:

    What the research shows Studies continue to show that widespread community water fluoridation prevents cavities and saves money, both for families and the health care system.

    Drinking fluoridated water keeps teeth strong and reduces cavities by about 25% in children and adults. 34This results in less mouth pain, fewer fillings or teeth pulled, and fewer missed days of work and school.

    Communities of 1,000 or more people see an average estimated return on investment (ROI) of $20 for every $1 spent on water fluoridation. The ROI for community water fluoridation increases as the community size increases, but even small communities save money.5 Communities served by fluoridated water save an average of $32 per person a year by avoiding treatment for cavities.5

  • are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • I use "Yesterday for old reddit" for a rough Apollo-like experience on iOS devices. That being said, i'm gradually shifting away from reddit as i find more communities on lemmy.

  • Trump goes all in with bet that the heavy price of tariffs will pay off for Americans

    Jump

  • Came across this youtube video as well, which is interesting (perhaps once again gives too much credit to Trump, but also fleshes out some of his financial advisors and why they might be on board) I like that the author also gets into the economic history that leads what might be happening.

    Once again though, i'm not really convinced. Seems like a huge risk and a gigantic bet on something that could easily break US hegemony permanently, and for what? The US is already on top of the economic pile with only minor threats to it's position. A more direct path of investment in new technologies seems like a safer bet.

  • Trump goes all in with bet that the heavy price of tariffs will pay off for Americans

    Jump

  • Interesting, thanks for the link... I dug a little deeper, this youtube interview was interesting as well. I feel he overestimates Trumps intelligence and foresight, but is certainly a take that should be considered in how it might all play out.

  • Are there any reputable economists that think this has a chance?

  • Ted Cruz warns Trump tariffs could lead to a 'bloodbath' for Republicans in midterm elections

    Jump

  • True, and a lot of damage would be done in that time too.

  • I’m going to go devils advocate here… first Rand Paul, now Ted Cruz. When things break they’ll break quick, and as distasteful as both of these guys are, they’re not the dumb ones like Grassley, Bobert, or MTG. They smell something in the wind or they wouldn’t have the courage to speak out. Could we be witnessing the beginning of a schism?

  • They probably want him to do it, but he's too stupid to follow a script.

  • Elon Musk says backlash against his DOGE government cuts is hurting Tesla stock

    Jump

  • Just like Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man, Elon is a stupid persons idea of a smart man. He's not a complete moron like Trump, but he's no Stephen Hawking either.

  • Yale ‘Fascism Scholar’ Announces On MSNBC He’s Leaving the US for Canada Before Trump Starts ‘Pulling People’s Passports’

  • Funny there was a town/region in Norway (i think, it's been a long time) that had proposed such a plan. I thought it was Ringke or somesuch, but it came off as really racist, like the "we only want the white ones back" sort of thing. Not sure what became of it.
