@joshtpm.bsky.social From today's Bloomberg. Bad economic numbers, soaring stock market.

@bloomberglp.bsky.social Bloomberg's interest rate utility has been broken for months now. You can still look them up, but the front page doesn't connect to interest rates well.

eg 10 year bonds flat due to broken utility: same for other bonds worldwide.

The billionaires who underwrite Republican campaigns are protected by #CitizensUnited, whose authors maintained that money is speech. But they are invariably characterized as, "Reclusive" and don't want to speak to the press. #TimothyMellon

Trump has ongoing #tradewar with Switzerland of all places: current #tariffs on Swiss goods are 39%.

Swiss Army knife manufacturer scratches head. They employ over 1100 workers making a high quality product. But... I can't see point of training US workers to do this. It's not exactly high tech.

Tariffs are taxes, falling on the poor and middle class. On net, Republican tax policies hurt every income group other than the top 10% (and the top 0.1% do *really* well).
