@DannyDayan5 A supply constrained memory squeeze can live in parallel with disinflation elsewhere rather than indicate a general overheating. Time will tell.

Argentina es un país imposible de explicar.

Hace unos días un tuit se hizo viral por llamar "negrito" a un argelino e insultar a Alá. Medio mundo concluyó que Argentina es racista.

Sin embargo, Argentina fue uno de los primeros países de América en iniciar el proceso de eliminación de la esclavitud. Es una sociedad que hoy convive con mínimos conflictos raciales.

Somos el mismo país que ayudó a liberar a Chile, Perú y parte de Sudamérica de la dominación española. Somos el mismo país que le dio al mundo un Papa, a Messi, a Fangio, a Favaloro, a Maldacena y también miles de idiotas que hacen papelones en hoteles y aeropuertos.

Argentina es el país de los extremos.

Tenemos gente que quiere que la Selección pierda porque Messi es supuestamente de derecha. Tenemos famosos difundiendo la falsa muerte del padre de Messi sin pensar en el dolor que eso podía causar. Tenemos libertarios llamando comunista a cualquiera que no piense como ellos y kirchneristas llamando fascista a cualquiera que no piense como ellos.

Y sin embargo, seguimos discutiendo. A los gritos, con insultos, exagerando, equivocándonos, ofendiéndonos entre nosotros y a veces ofendiendo al mundo entero.

Porque hay algo que Argentina conserva desde hace décadas y que en muchos países se ha ido perdiendo: una libertad de expresión sin límites. Lo que conlleva, entre otras cosas, una tolerancia extraordinaria al conflicto verbal.

Acá se insulta al presidente, al Papa, a los empresarios, a los sindicatos, a los periodistas, a los futbolistas, a la oposición y al oficialismo. Todos los días.

A veces eso produce genialidad.

A veces produce estupidez.

La libertad tiene ese problema: no distingue entre un genio y un imbécil.

Y quizás por eso Argentina desconcierta tanto.

Porque somos capaces de las mejores cosas y de las peores en la misma semana.

Así que, queridos vecinos, sepan disculpar cuando nos expresamos hacia afuera como muchas veces nos hablamos entre nosotros.

No siempre es soberbia.

Muchas veces es simplemente Argentina siendo Argentina: un experimento permanente de libertad, caos, talento, contradicción y exceso.

So you spent $9000 per month in tokens to do the job that you already did and you used the extra time to scroll X instead?

@EconstratPB Amen.

Israel's defense minister Israel Katz says that 'nobody can tell us what to do' even if Trump 'says otherwise'.

@RealKeithWeiner 3 Realistically. Worker is supporting the company. Worker only maintained if worker's effort covers his own cost and adds profit to company. Company does not support the worker to its own disadvantage. Therefore, worker is supporting the company or one or both fail.

What a rotten deal we made with Iran. We get nothing (except laughter at our stupidity). They get everything, including delay and big cash!

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.

Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.

Europe doesn’t have a racism problem, it has an immigration problem. But that isn’t the question here.

The important question is: what happens to a society when people become afraid to discuss contentious issues honestly?

Timur Kuran called it preference falsification: the gap between what people truly believe and what they are willing to say in public.

Many assume this is driven primarily by fear. Sometimes it is. But just as often it is driven by career considerations, business interests, social acceptance, convenience, laziness, or the comforting belief that the problem is somebody else's responsibility.

What makes this so dangerous is that powerful institutions shape the boundaries of acceptable opinion. Governments, media organizations, universities, NGOs, and large corporations may have different motives, but they often reinforce the same narratives and stigmatize dissenting views.

No authoritarian system was ever sustained by true believers alone. Every one of them relied on large numbers of ordinary people who adapted, remained silent, and convinced themselves that speaking up was either too risky or simply not their responsibility.

Most people do not actively surrender their freedoms. They simply decide that defending them is not worth the effort, risk, or inconvenience.

That is how public debate becomes detached from private belief. And that is how societies gradually drift into places that very few people consciously chose.

Freedom isn’t lost all at once. It erodes because too many people decide that speaking honestly is no longer worth the trouble. Don’t be one of them.

Speak up! It’s your duty as it is mine if u care about freedom and democracy. Let us all be as courageous as @ThaisEscufon.

@DrJStrategy Like no taxpayer money for the ballroom? Why do you put party in front of your own credibility?

[Han Shawnity 🇺🇸 @HanShawnity]

China is watching today's events closely, and they now know that if they so much as lift a finger toward Taiwan, Trump is going to respond harshly by signing a deal and giving them Thailand and Vietnam along with full sovereignty over the South China Sea.

They better be careful.

Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion

@MacrostratPB It was her idea! Something about hitting rock-bottom sooner.
