This is likely a catastrophic mistake. Lowering interest rates to keep a bubble going means that the effects when it bursts will be worse, and you will have less room to lower rates further when it is really needed.

Let’s also not ignore the classic ‘start a war to up your approval rating’ - a much beloved GOP cudgel that the reasonable people among us will forever be bludgeoned with to our collective insanity.

All forms of age-gating are “a privacy nightmare that burdens the civil liberties of people both young and old,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @AlJazeera.com, forcing all to share sensitive information that could be abused or hacked. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1...
Why is Australia banning social media for teenagers?
Critics say new law is 'normalising surveillance' for young people and risks cutting them off from support networks.

Venezuela's just the first of many, and they're hoping other places will just fold instead of getting into a protracted air and ground war after this one.
And I know what you're thinking: Didn't the creation of Dubai require slaves? Yes! Good point! Noodle on that for a minute.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

America once made daylight saving time permanent. Here’s what went wrong.
In 1974, the U.S. tried staying on daylight saving time all year. The result was darker mornings and public panic.
