@KaizenYg@BowesChay That's how supply chain works. China supplies parts for major commercial jet planes manufacturing, but still depend heavily in Boeing. Russia's car manufacturing is almost destroyed. They rely on the import. And you're right, France won't exist without stolen goods from the sahel
@BowesChay 6/9 correction.
The US alone is bigger than top three BRICS nation.
FYI, I'm aware this is real GDP, not GDP PPP which has China as number one

7/9... just a further explanation why they're called the G7. Except you argue that the figures are false
Shelton d. Frances Tiafoe 4-6 6-3 6-3 7-5 at the US Open
BEN IS INTO HIS FIRST GRAND SLAM FINAL.
He's the first Black American man to reach a US Open singles final in nearly 54 years... since Arthur Ashe in 1972.
He's also the first Black American man to reach a Grand Slam singles final since MaliVai Washington at Wimbledon in 1996.
30 years...
Nothing but history.

@KobeissiLetter You can't pretend that this wasn't the doing of the Iran war or special operation.
This is the frustration of most Americans. They feel like the government don't give a damn!
The president keeps bragging whenever the stock market hit record highs and complaints when they fall
This is what the president doesn’t see: 2026 vs 2019 (pre-COVID)
Unemployment: 4.1% vs 3.5%
Total unemployed: 7M vs. 5.9M
Inflation (PCE): 3.6% vs 1.4%
High inflation eviscerates the poor the most.
Advice: Mr. President, get back to your basics. Attain growth with low inflation.
@FmrRepMTG Trump has many flaws...however, at this point, it seems you're entirely focused on him.
You're a believer (or you said you are). Move on from the hurt and betrayal. Criticize when necessary, but don't give him a place in your head.
Geopolitical tensions are causing skyrocketing inflation. Major central banks have pivoted to restrictive monetary policy, even amid sluggish employment. However, the biggest headwind remains escalating sovereign debt, which shows no signs of slowing down.
This is terrible!
Global bond-market selloff continues as investors demand more compensation to hold the debt.
Japan 10Y: 3% (highest since 1996)

US 10Y: 4.8%
US 30Y: 5.26%.
