I get this a lot: "Okay Mr. Bad News, so what can we do about it?" Here you go. PLEASE SIGN! Trump's crypto scam is moving into high gear. We have another episode coming out shortly on how he plans to loot the US Treasury. We only have a couple of weeks left before this becomes the law of the land.

Big corps added 33k jobs, small/mid-sized lost more—net loss of 32k. Job cuts match pandemic levels. Planned hiring down 58%. Walmart and Target bracing for worst holiday season since 2009. The bottom is falling out.

Trump threatened China with 100% tariffs, crashing the markets—DOW down 900 points, crypto wrecked. Then he posted "JK we cool" and everything rebounded. Market value now swings on whatever he decides to post. This is economic policy in 2025.

Wall Street is thriving—earnings up, portfolios fat, Trump's tax cuts padding profits. So why does everything feel broken? We're flying blind because of the shutdown. Our choice: status quo or radical transformation.

To demonstrate how far right the Overton window has shifted, I present to you the greatest Republican president of my lifetime. A genuine critique of the Obama years from a progressive perspective to illustrate how far we've fled from our senses.

Over $10t hoarded in corporate coffers, offshore accounts & bank vaults while Americans face a recession. The radical left isn't coming for your guns—just that money. We want healthcare, not violence. We just want what's ours.

Deep dive for @meidastouch.com on 1929 and 2009 differences and parallels. Wall Street had built a moat to insulate itself from its own reckless behavior and Trump is driving the economy into the ground.

Wall Street is killing patients for profit. A Harvard study found PE-owned hospitals have 7 extra deaths per 10k ER visits after acquisition. They slash staffing by 11.6%, cut salaries 16-18%, and load hospitals with debt. Capitalism kills.

A liquidity crisis is brewing in the financial markets—it's just a question of when and where it hits. Banks will be fine this time (they learned from '08), but the Fed is going to have to print massive amounts of money soon. That's where things get hairy.

We're flying blind into Q4—government shutdown halted economic data. What we saw before the blackout: rising inflation, softening labor market, mass layoffs coming. Only Treasury activity is visible, showing Trump's deficits eating our cash reserves.

Treasury handed Argentina $20B. They cut export tariffs and sold their soybean crop to China—who won't buy from us anymore thanks to Trump's tariffs. U.S. farmers screwed. Ideology over constituents, every time.

Milei is Trump's test case—cutting agencies, firing workers, consolidating power. If Argentina fails, Trump's agenda is exposed as flawed. So Bessent is offering billions to prop up Milei before his collapse embarrasses Trump.

A photographer caught Bessent's phone showing a text from the Ag Secretary: "We bailed out Argentina...they sold soybeans to China at a time when we would normally be selling to China." Trump's bailout screwed U.S farmers.

They're deporting legal asylum seekers to destroy entire industries. Then forcing desperate job seekers into those same gutted roles at poverty wages. It's not immigration policy, it's class warfare by design.

New poll shows Americans have completely flipped on Israel-Palestine. 40% say Israel is intentionally killing civilians (up from 22% in Dec '23). Majority opposes more aid. Netanyahu knows he's losing the narrative—that's why he's so desperate.

Did you know a 90% completed wind farm in Rhode Island that would power 350,000 homes and create thousands of jobs got halted. The reason? Trump hates wind power because Scotland built a wind farm visible from his golf course. Electric bills be damned.

The news keeps saying the labor market is "stronger than anticipated" while long-term unemployment spikes to 2009 levels. The labor market is disintegrating, the AI bubble is about to burst, and they'll blame Schumer when the shutdown hits. Hot mess.
