Wow, my phone started playing random Twitter things without my choosing, and it was an endless series of campaigning for Musk, sprinkled with videos championing the administration. No surprise, of course, except how blunt it all was. Gross

The US economy has developed some tell-tale signs of the Great Depression.

The money supply has contracted. That means an economic slowdown is BAKED IN THE CAKE.

Like the Smoot-Hawley Tariffs of 1930, Trump's tariffs are putting massive downward pressure on the economy.
