Meanwhile the BLS *does* have serious problems related to declining data integrity — because Trump has deprived it of resources. Hiring freezes, early retirements, “fork” departures etc. have left the agency so thinly staffed that field offices are closing.

None of the US data will be believable now. The US is basically an emerging market. It has none of the hallmarks of a trustworthy advanced economy

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Just another 90 day extension. Representatives from Boston Zoo will be sent to Antarctica to negotiate a solution to the staggering trade deficit

should market multiples expand from here with consumers and corporations essentially divvying up half trillion in new taxes?

Me, speaking to the Supreme Ruler of all flies:

”What exactly is it that you want?”

I’m a Dane like the author. I certainly agree with him.

Rates up. Dollar down.

The adults aren't distracted by what amounts to higher tariffs on Japanese goods and not much else.

Equities remain stupid money.

In fairness you also have one usage that includes quotation marks.

Donald Trump pushes for 15%-20% minimum tariff on all EU goods US president also rejects reducing 25% sectoral duties on cars from the bloc, say diplomats

Good article, but I respectfully urge you to be more careful about the word ”reciprocal”. Financial media have gone from saying ”so-called reciprocal” to just plain ”reciprocal”, thereby unfortunately perpetuating a falsehood. on.ft.com/3Iz6kO1

I fully acknowledge that you weren’t asking for advice, but in those situations I try to take the parts I feel unsure about and extract them into their own components and cover that component with unit tests.

real talk every $20/month AI sub has to raise prices to $99/month over next 2 years

It’s just one giant confidence scheme. Shuffle money from one dumpster fire to the next

In just 24 hours:

– The CEO of X resigned.
– The Head of Infrastructure at xAI resigned.
– The VP of Software Engineering at Tesla resigned.

You don’t lose leadership like this unless the ship is leaking and right now, Elon’s tech trifecta is looking more like a trifailure.

Do it, cowards.

(not just the FT)

He’s a great environmentalist I guess, implicitly suggesting the US will start mining it from landfills

Throwback to this calendar spread

*fingers crossed*
Elmo doubles down on pedo guy
Trump doubles down on deportation to South Africa

Elon’s RTs are getting dark

If you are in favour with an autocrat with deep unchecked pockets you don’t necessarily need sales.

Stop travelling to America.

It’s not safe & your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism

If you’re American, stop going to Florida

They built a concentration camp in 8 days

They’ve opted to kidnap and detain thousands instead of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry & providing healthcare

Truly elated. I’ve just made an invention that is simply unsurpassable. I call it: MAMBO NUMBER 4!

Your only hope now is that this is patrimonialism and the bureaucrats are incompetent

Things are going to get very very dark
