Ray Dalio Warns of Threat to Dollar as Reserve Currency
> While equities and gold benefited from the trillions of dollars in fiscal spending and monetary injections, those efforts are debasing the currency and have raised the possibility that the U.S. will go too far in testing the limits of government stimulus, Dalio said Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
> “There is so much debt production and debt monetization,” Dalio said.
China is winning in every imaginable way when it comes to energy and industry
> The West is de-industrialising itself in the quest for #NetZero.
> by deindustrialising their own economies, the countries in the Western world are simply transferring their own carbon emissions – and economic power – to #China.
> The inevitable end result will be subservience to China.
So yes, China is indeed winning in every imaginable way. https://archive.fo/2024.10.18-161514/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/18/china-energy-industry-green-renewable-steel-power/ #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange

Is it really newsworthy, at this point, to point out the latest in the litany of horrible things Trump has done?
As far as I can tell, all it does is inflict moral injury on people who still have morals.

It's well past time to starve the bastard of the oxygen he wants to suck from the room.

Ann Arbor Argus, February 12, 1892, quote-tooting the Boston Transcript:
"The best way to keep a diary is to keep it clean. Never write in your diary, my son, unless you desire to be sorry at some future time in your life."
Well, now... I have had some interesting situations happen in my life, but I don't think I'll ever have one as interesting as this one.
