#Trump demanded on Wednesday that a #FederalReserve governor, #LisaCook, “resign, now!!!,” citing unconfirmed allegations that she *may* have engaged in mortgage fraud. It is the latest sign that the admin is ramping up its campaign to remake the #independent #CentralBank. Trump has pressured the bank to lower #InterestRates, which it has kept steady out of concern that his policies could cause #inflation.

I predict that by Black Friday shopping and Christmas shopping, in general, inflation will be at an all time high - double digits.
"US factory activity shrank in August for a sixth straight month, driven by a pullback in production that shows manufacturing remains bogged down by higher import duties tied to President Donald Trump’s trade war."

上證綜合指數迭創十年新高，吾奉勸欲投資者，當三思而行，切莫盲從。中國股市非市場之晴雨表，實乃政策之風向，故不可循自由市場之規律以釋之。而今股市興盛之表象，與實體經濟之頹勢相悖，其泡沫成分，已然昭著。
The Shanghai Composite Index has reached new highs for ten years. I advise prospective investors to think twice and not follow the crowd. China's stock market is not a barometer of the economy; it is a reflection of government policy. Therefore, it cannot be explained by the rules of a free market. The current boom in the stock market is at odds with the weakness of the real economy, and the presence of a bubble is now clearly evident.

BREAKING: Jobs report shows MAJOR SLOWDOWN in labor market under Trump.
We can now compare the first 7 months of Trump with the final 7 months of Biden, and job growth is down 57% under Trump.
People on Threads talk about the ICE raid on a facility Hyundai was building in Georgia, which will not open now after nearly 500 people, mostly South Koreans, were rounded up out of the blue.
"Hyundai’s halt: Construction is paused, and Hyundai has signaled it won’t move forward with the plant. That’s a $4.3 billion investment gone."

A federal court ruled Tues that #FederalReserve Governor #LisaCook can remain in her position while she fights Trump’s efforts to fire her.
The ruling, which will be appealed, is a blow to the #Trump admin’s efforts to assert more #control over the traditionally #independent #Fed, which sets interest rates to achieve its congressionally mandated goals of stable #prices & maximum #employment. #Congress has also sought to insulate the Fed from #politics.

Insane asshole.
Will this include #Vancouver BC?
#Trump said on Monday he would impose a 100% tariff on all foreign-made #movies, an unprecedented move that threatens to upend #Hollywood's global #business model.
The step signals Trump's willingness to extend *protectionist* #trade policies into #cultural industries, raising uncertainty for studios that depend heavily on international box-office revenue & cross-border co-productions.

Reading every headline & lede that invariably starts with “Democrats block GOP bill”, I’d like to remind everyone, the #media especially, that Trump’s party — the #RepublicanParty — controls the #WhiteHouse & both chambers of #Congress.
This shutdown is their doing.
By all accounts #Trump & #Project2025’s #RussVought absolutely wanted it because it consolidates #power under the #ExecutiveBranch, exactly what they have been working for.

Finally some good / lawful news!
#SCOTUS lets #LisaCook remain as a #FederalReserve governor *for now*
The #SupremeCourt on Wednesday allowed Lisa Cook to remain as a #Fed governor for now, declining to act on the #Trump admin’s effort to immediately remove her from the #CentralBank.
In a brief unsigned order, the high court said it would hear arguments in January over Trump’s effort to force Cook off the Fed board.

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".
