Impact of Trump tariffs is beginning to show in US consumer prices Trade levies are starting to drive up costs for goods from cans of soup to car parts

www.ft.com/content/f4bd...

Would love to see someone figure out what the equivalent #carbon #tax is for these tariffs in the #US

If voters are not mad at this #inflation then maybe an actual carbon tax is not the assumed political suicide.

US wealth by generation

A Q - should 60+ yr-old people control the major share of wealth in a society? What are the implications? Are they more risk-averse than the younger generation and more focused on nostalgia? What if life-expectancy grows substantially?

The changing geopolitics is restricting the main sources of additional resources:
1. Direct aid
2. Economic development through trade
3. Remittances from emigrants

Usurious debt environment is forcing poor countries to make interest payments instead of feeding their population.
