Also, if you take the revised economy numbers and subtract AI investment/gains you get a recession. :)

#EconSky Anyone else notice ~30% of US GDP is just extractive churn? HFTs, PE debt games, naked options, FIRE grift. None of it builds. Meanwhile productive sectors face stress, regulation, or offshoring. Admin response? Subsidize decay, penalize creation.

TSLA is about 8-9 year behind Waymo at best.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

Inflationary policies (tax cuts to be spent, decreased gov. svc. and welfare now needing to be privately funded, falling USD), fiscal austerity (budget spending cuts) and tariffs going toward both will create an environment in which real incomes fall, standard of living drops and oligarchy collects.

If you hold cash, hyperinflation erodes its value fast. But crypto, as an unregulated asset, can balloon in nominal price. You park value now, then pull it out post-crash to buy real assets dirt cheap.

#EconSky Brainwave: It all clicks. Trump’s policies are steering us toward depression or stagflation by design. The crypto obsession isn’t random, it’s the escape hatch. Shift assets into unregulated crypto, crash the system, then raid real assets and equities at rock-bottom prices.

They built the wrecking into their ‘big beautiful bill’, timed to detonate after the next presidential election, just like the 2017 tax act. If they’re not in power, they’ll block any fix. Just like last time. Only amputation of the infection will allow survival.

It's easy for them to react. They can just transfer their wealth out of the dollar. Barring that, how much is their purchasing power reduced by going from 100 billion to 10 billion? None really . . .

stagflation is the best timeline. A severe recession is the middle of the road. The fed only has mandates for inflation and employment. They care way more about inflation. If inflation ticks up, expect rate hikes. If they don't raise rates that will be stagflation like in the 70s.

#EconSky BofA is pushing a 1:1 stablecoin despite massive unrealized losses and systemic risk status. If tradable, it’s a KYC/AML loophole adversarial nations could exploit to force losses and cash out billions.

Unfortunately, short of a constitutional amendment making it so - it will never happen. Congress has shown a complete unwillingness to police itself.

Congress members should be permanently banned from trading or receiving private compensation. Serving in Congress, even once, should signify lifelong dedication to the state, with a pension provided after leaving office.

'Breathes easy' meaning removing the limits that allow the banks to function without requiring constant bailouts?

T man keeps saying he has 200 deals done, and he will present them whenever and they are in good talks with China. China keeps pointing out there has been no talks. He said he was pulling back on Chinese tariffs, yet they are still ludicrously high. There is no plan, there will be shortages.

1. The stock market is not the economy
2. One of the defining traits is the destruction caused from inability to plan. Highly erratic markets cause destruction of wealth. There will be ups and downs.
3. West coast ports volume are down 40-60% . Shortages before fall.

"Threatens". Pretty understated isn't it? Mass layoffs, worst stock performance since Black Monday. Rising inflation, absolute market chaos. Pretty sure we're past "threatened" with recession.

ruina imperii Americanus @aeternamala.bsky.social · Apr 22

Nah, constant ups and downs is part of what makes a recession or a depression that. The destructive nature with no ability to plan.
