Tesla and shit have one thing in common: they're both #2. Tesla sales are tanking as hard as Kennedy Center bookings. American culture has never been better.

The Fed injected $200B into banks at year-end through repo markets. Why? Private credit is cracking—up to 25% of loans are modified or in default. Big banks know it and don't like what they see. The Fed isn't managing rates, it's playing whac-a-mole.

@leejamiller.bsky.social nails the Minnesota fraud story: There is fraud, but no terrorists are being funded, America is racist. Hold multiple thoughts at once. Politicians are tools—if they fail, replace them. Not emotionally attached to any of them.

While America was distracted, the BRICS Unit went operational in December. For 80 years we held reserve currency status—the easiest privilege to keep, unless you turn on allies, start wars, withdraw from trade deals, and tariff everyone! Oh, wait.

Tale of two coasts: Jeffries won't condemn Trump's illegal Venezuela coup, Newsom blocks a billionaire tax on 200 people. Meanwhile progressive policies poll at 58–78% support. What if winning is as simple as running on what's actually popular?

We're back! This week: Trump's illegal Venezuela coup (with Dem support), Newsom protecting billionaires, Tesla tanking harder than the Kennedy Center, and Bernie freezing at another inauguration. Plus: repo market chaos signals trouble. OTR for 1/5/26.

Machado thinks she'll just waltz into Caracas and take power. But there's an entire military apparatus still in place. We decapitated the government and assumed the rest would be easy—just like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya. Yet it never works out that way.

Venezuela now sells oil to India and China—both BRICS nations that just launched a new payment system threatening the petrodollar. If oil trades in their digital currency instead of dollars, we lose the ability to fund trillion-dollar deficits.

Venezuela and Cuba have been economically joined since 1998. For 60+ years we've failed to overthrow Cuba's government. But toppling Venezuela cuts Cuba's lifeline. Two regime changes for one operation.

This isn't about oil or drugs. It's about the petrodollar—making sure oil trades in dollars so we can sell Treasury bonds to fund our deficits. If BRICS nations shift away from the dollar, our entire economic structure collapses. That's the real story.

The U.S. bombed Caracas, kidnapped Venezuela's president, and is flying him to Manhattan for trial. Mainstream media wants you focused on whether Maduro's a "bad guy." That's the distraction. This is the most illegal thing we've done in a long time.

The existential threats to the U.S. economy aren't yet AI bubbles or stock corrections—it's the yen carry trade unwinding, collapsing labor markets, and dollar devaluation. Trump accelerated a reckoning that was decades away.

Fed Governor Miran accidentally admitted the truth: "After COVID, the economy started returning to normal on its own. Demand was growing quite healthily and jobs numbers were beating every month." Catch that? Under Biden.

As expected, there was movement for year end in the repo market. But this is a BIG number. Spreads are blowing out and the plumbing is leaking. Ominous sign heading into the New Year. 711 companies bankrupt in '25 might look tame.

GDP grew 4.3% and Trump's taking a victory lap. But GDP doesn't measure if people can afford groceries or housing. It measures activity—and the activity happening is crushing working families. Let's unpack the real numbers.

Why hasn't the stock market crashed? Foreign investors are selling U.S. debt and reinvesting in our equities (there's nowhere else to go). The market's become a store of value like gold—prices inflate while actual economic value stays flat or declines.

Wall Street will survive 2026 on government cash after the AI bubble pops. We put our hand on the stove in 2016, got burned, then did it again. Some will make fortunes from misery—most will just suffer. The question: who gets the money and what's it worth?

From @snmrrw.bsky.social at @moreperfectunion.bsky.social: We're in an AI bubble. But who inflated it and who gets hurt when it pops? OpenAI wants your electricity, water, data, writing, art, plus acceptance of job loss and deepfakes for a future promise.

Prof. Steve Keen (who predicted the '08 crash), appeared on @owenjones.bsky.social, warning AI will eliminate entire job categories—leaving millions unable to work. His solution: UBI. Not radical, but the only way to prevent mass starvation.

Foreign central banks pulled $100B from U.S. treasuries through October—a complete reversal from last year's $31B inflow. For the first time, we're not the safe bet. Governments worldwide are working around our debt because we're unreliable partners.

Trump's fiscal policy in focus: cut rates + halt immigration = inflation spike. Tax cuts, corporate loopholes, estate tax giveaways—all designed to keep money in small circles while propping up asset prices as an inflation hedge. AI bubble? Try America.
