Rubbish
The Fed is the monopoly supplier of new $$
The US gvt can't run out of its own money
Treasuries are just corporate welfare w/o which the extractive finance sector couldn't function
Learn MMT & stop being fooled abt what a decent gvt can do

Agree. The US (hence global) economy is in uncharted waters with Trump.

It was not a significant recession despite fears that it would be. And interest rates will be cut next time anyway. MMT says Zero Rate Interest Policy forever because interest rates don't control inflation and strangle the real economy.

Quite happy to see the finance sector binned:-)

Yes, but just like the DotCom bubble it doesn't much affect the real economy. It's house price bubbles that do that because houses are the main collateral for bank loans. The house price crash is due next year. Debts that can't be paid won't be paid.

The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.”

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?

genocide of people will continue to happen if the genocide of animal life, sea life, and plant life continues as well.

we are interconnected. exterminating life is exterminating life.

we cannot fix one without fixing the other.

start by lessening the harm of your current extermination.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

Nearly 30% of your Energy bill is profit, and that's just for the big companies.

If Energy was nationalised bills could be nearly halved overnight, the infrastructure is only worth £109.5bn.

Time for a compulsory purchase order.
