@aeberman12@vtchakarova I think you miss the point: the US needs the Hormuz Strait RELATIVELY less than Europe, Asia and others. The US has a strategic and tactical advantage.
@jaynordlinger@kurrild Listen to how the reporters have talked and systematically lied about Trump in the first place. Then his rhetoric makes completely sense
@america@elonmusk the difference between debt of ordinary people and the government is that the government can print its own money. And that is typically the endgame. In the end they print.
@MikaelSarwe A hypothesis: As the RRP gradually is being exhausted, QE will re-start and liquidity can continue fuelling the markets. Consequently your charts can stay frothy for some time ahead. Given that it's an election year, this outcome is very likely.
@lykketoft Hele fire gange i historien er palæstinenserne blevet tilbudt en stat ved siden af den israelske stat. De har afslået alle gange, fordi de aldrig vil anerkende Israel som en legitim stat. Glem det.
@cekicozlem Du stiller ikke det relevante spørgsmål @cekicozlem: hvorfor løslader Hamas ikke alle gidsler øjeblikkeligt og overdrager terroristerne til IDF? Hvis de gjorde dette, ville hverken børn eller forældre miste livet.
@CarstenVal You are actually right. The presidential election cycle effect on the stock market has 'only' worked in 15 out of 18 elections since 1952. That is in 83% of all elections which is still significant.
@BobEUnlimited Your underlying assumption is that r* has not changed since 1980. In think this is wrong. Hence you should be very careful to draw firm conclusions from the chart.
@MikaelSarwe The fiscal is out of control with a government deficit of 7-8% of GDP whilst the unemployment rate is only 3.8%. This makes the job very hard for the Fed. The fiscal and monetary policy coordination is a disaster.
@MaMoMVPY@Perth_Tolle Agree on the G. But the E and the S are important as well. However the distinction is this. Good companies manage E and S to achieve success (profits). Bad companies misuse both E, S and G in activist virtue signalling which eventually destroys business and profits.
