“Who gets the benefit of decent treatment and behavior in our society? Who is owed basic respect? If we focus on that as the goal, then perhaps it'll make it less imperative that we engage in tit for tat.” says Professor Keith Bybee. @supolisci.bsky.social https://wbur.fm/4sY15tM
A year into new Trump term, civility takes a colossal hit
The president includes coarse language, taunts, insults and threats in his daily communications.

Yet another data point supporting the view that there is change afoot in the global financial system.
I know it's trite, but this is all "how to dismantle a reserve currency."
The dollar as the go-to haven in times of crisis, well, that appears (again) to be shaky.

I spoke to @marketplace.org about the possibility of a flash sale of Treasuries by European countries, you know, as you do when the NATO alliance hangs in the balance.

Europeans have trillions of dollars worth of leverage on the U.S. economy. They're not likely to use it.
A selloff of Treasurys would hurt the U.S. economy. But it would hurt the Eurozone, too.
