not even the 90s was really ‘calm’

Yea, local currency bond yields were never a good measure. On the other hand, exchange rates are. DXY hasn’t recovered much.

I want him to shell the Congress but that’s not going to happen, it’s not like the Congress is doing anything against the Executive.

i live in developing country where blackouts used to be very common like a decade ago. It fucking sucks at 35C (that’s the night time temps). AC stops working, just the ceiling fan running on backup power. Ikik, Iam too privileged that my family could afford an AC and pay the high power bills, it was much worse for people who don’t even have power backup.

I think 20 humans could kill a golira.

You are so wrong. China and others have been providing US with aid by sending goods in exchange for financial claims which may not even be claimed for real goods.

Recognize that US is getting free lunch and that its manufacturing decline is its own choice of relying too much on capitalists.

US can’t make shit as long as it’s in capitalist mode.

Setup SOEs, set prices to match imports and not worry about deficits. Use the Dollar privilege to your advantage.

Tariffs are not the way.

Yep, imports are an investment from importers/capitalists perspective. And under capitalism, investments are done with expectation of profit.

Some final remarks from Portugal’s power firm REN, which goes on on to say that, “due to the complexity of the phenomenon and the need to rebalance electricity flows internationally, it is estimated that full normalisation of the network could take up to a week”.

It says that “due to extreme temperature variations in the interior or Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 KV), a phenomenon known as ‘induced atmospheric vibration’”.

“These oscillations caused synchronisation failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network.”

hmmm

“Such a widespread grid failure is extremely unusual and could be caused by a number of things: there could be a physical fault in the grid which brings down power, a coordinated cyber attack could be behind it, or a dramatic imbalance between demand and supply has tipped the grid system over the edge,” Taco Engelaar, managing director at energy infrastructure experts Neara told Euronews.

“If it’s a system fault, then the interconnectivity between different regional and national grids could be leading to the large footprint of outages we’re seeing today,” he added.

“The same goes for a cyber attack - lots of these systems are connected and share assets - taking down one could take down many.”

State giving free land to workers

They must have so many documents on sexual abuse by priests, make it all public.

Fucking opportunist

This alone could be good, (though they should only eliminate it on slabs of, say, <$60k), but they will combine it with austerity so that it is net regressive for the poor, the tariff shock doesn’t help either.

Also, doesn’t Congress set the rates and slabs?

They are so obsessed with market solutions.

Garnishing wages of people with student loan debt is just another tax draining demand for real goods. Good job.
