To your point, despite the Federal Government being closed for most of this fiscal year, public debt outstanding has risen by more than $723B since Oct. 1. Much more, actually, since there have been large auctions lately.

Where is this money going?

Alexa. Show me interventions similar to what National City did in 1929 to stop the oncoming crash... which failed miserably.

Calling @edzitron.com . So #AMZN says they are building a 2.4GW Data Center in Northern Indiana.

Indiana in total produces 9.5GW of electricity, with a heavy industrial draw up north. Electricity is mainly produced by fossil fuels.

This ain't like renting Venice for a wedding, Jeff.

This meeting with Mamdani reminds me of Trump's meeting with Putin in Helsinki.

In the sense that Trump seems wounded.

And he's floundering and grabbing any life preserver to help him...even if he loses #MAGA in the process.

Can't get on the #Cheney panegyric train. Obviously he was loved by his family and I give credit to every couple that stays married.

BUT

The through line from Nixon to W Bush to Trump includes Iraq and the overt use of torture authored by the Neo Cons including Cheney and Rumsfeld.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social examines #Trump 's call to execute members of the opposition party for treason in today's letters.

Treason is a tricky word sometimes.

This act is very "guilty until innocent" looking.

McCarthy hearings stuff 😬

From the article I am led to believe Epstein passed a few million through JPM in the years before his first arrest but over a $Billion after Trump came to office? And #JPM withheld that info until after Epstein's death. 👀

The plot thickens.

NVDA claims H2O chip sales to China were "insignificant".

How about H2O chip sales to Singapore?

What if US national security concerns stop this path and revenue growth stalls?

NVDA is right now trading at 25xsales (trailing) and at Huang's "half trillion", 10Xsales.

Speaking of NVDIA revenue, how much of the revenue beat are chips smuggled through Singapore to China?

Might be quite a lot, but we have no detail this quarter.

#EconSky #AI #Trump

Drowning man reaches for only life preserver, AI driven stock market gains.

With the #Epstein files sure to be a news item for weeks, Trump can't deal with a bear market.

That doomed Nixon.

Not sure ramming AI down state's throats is the play though.

Michael Burry asks a great question, since OpenAI is the fulcrum in the AI circular financing game, who is their auditor?

If, as reported below, nothing from OpenAI is assured then this whole thing is air.

#EconSky #NVDA

Looking through the earnings statement (below):

$51B Revenue (of $57B) from data center biz (i.e. other AI)

Is the AI trade a circular financing game - looks like it.

And "off the charts" is just silly in a tech company release.

So I ask a simple question, "Did Trump sign the #Epstein bill yet"

And I get the responses below.

But yeah, let's put these programs in charge of the world.
