This is about reallocating wealth, not losing it….

Reallocating wealth, not losing it The findings show that when people move away from 'unhealthy commodities', the economy can benefit if that spending is reallocated elsewhere. A common argument against stricter regulations is that these industries are vital for employment, but SARG's modelling shows how valuable each commodity is to the economy, and how the reallocation of spending to other sectors can provide greater value to the UK. This is because money spent on unhealthy commodities often 'leaks' out of the country - for example, to the global supply chains and international corporate headquarters typical of the tobacco and gambling industries - rather than staying to support the UK economy.

I would live to read or hear economists' opinions regarding DJT's speech and response to Q&A.

I find him shallow and dumb. Could it be because I am an engineer by training, not economist?

And if I'm being completely fair, this is also a problem in EconomicsSky. There's way too many Brainy Smurfs out there insisting that because technically the quality of your eggs is vastly improved, it's fine you now can barely afford them, and like do you WANT to get your ass kicked.

The fact that the new BLS dude is the nemesis of a bunch of people I follow from ElectionSky or EconomicsSky really explains what this administration is, man.

If you wanted to construct a scenario that was damaging to American claims to economic leadership in the world, it would look like the Trump administration.

McDonald's profits have continued to suffer since Donald Trump's "fry cook" campaign stunt and the rescinding of their DEI policies.

But in their defense - sales of "hamberders" have nearly quintupled.

This is unforgivable. If you didn't already think that Facebook was one of the most unethical and harmful organisations on the planet, this will change your mind. In the book Careless People, written by a Facebook insider (before she got fired) it details how in 2017 the platform offered advertisers the opportunity to target young girls in a state of feeling "worthless" and "insecure". In fact, teams prepared presentations and proposals to beauty brands so they could reach teenagers in this fragile emotional state. It was called "emotional targeting." It reality, it's a total manipulation and exploitation of the vulnerable. When I read this, my jaw dropped and my heart sank. We already knew that Facebook actively TRIED to make its users addicted to their platforms. And for some reason we're ok with that. But to not only understand when their users - teenage girls - are depressed, but to also use that data for profit is as unethical as you can get. What Facebook - and other social platforms - have done to the world's youth is abominable. And to be honest? We've all enabled it. And you can tell we're addicted, because no matter what hideous sh*t we hear about what Facebook and its leaders do, we just keep logging on to Instagram. Young people are navigating a social media world that we handed them, because we got excited about the commercial potential of the internet. A bunch of awful people decided that making money was more important than the wellbeing of the world's young women. And now they're going to have to live with that mental damage forever. It's so gross.

Repost if you believe in President Donald Trump.

Repost if you believe these numbers are just the beginning.

Repost if you believe he can break his own DOW Jones drop record AGAIN!
