good question, the shit is so volatile even the oracle of Omaha stepped down & the fund isnt taking in anymore investors! if that isnt a sign I dont know what is,
im just parking my money for the next year+(luckily I dont need it to live), I seen the market get hit in the past 6months after the honeymoon stage

I'm a student of Paul Volcker and I'm a child of the evil “his” policies have produced. I presume if you're able to hold on to your cash, they'll confiscate it. Everything they teach us about Economics is dead wrong. They raise the interest rate as a barrier to entry into industry so the government can make a path for a specific industry to thrive. Name a Black bicycle maker. Can you name a Black automanufacturer? Can you name a Black aerospace engineering corporation?

This mfkr stomped the campaign trail on "America First,"..... yet he's sent Billions to Israel and Argentina, aided in the genocide of Ukrainians and Palestinians, robbed Americans of healthcare and SNAP subsidies/ benefits in order to give the ultra wealthy a $4 trillion tax break, opened numerous for profit private "detention centers" costing taxpayers $4+ Billion annually, is responsible for the highest unemployment rate in nearly 20 years and is now sparking a potential mass casualty Hepatitis B event in Guinea Bisson...... how does "America" in general benefit from any of this?!!!

“I Just Returned From China. We Are Not Winning.”

That’s the headline from Steven Rattner, not a fringe commentator, but a former Obama Treasury official writing in mainstream U.S. media and what’s surprising isn’t hostility toward China, it’s acceptance.

He describes:

– AI scaling at speed
– Data centres powered by massive energy capacity
– Robotics deployment far beyond U.S. levels
– EV factories that look almost fully automated
– Pharmaceutical innovation accelerating fast

No hysteria, no “imminent collapse” narrative, just a quiet acknowledgement that China is formidable.

He notes China still lags in cutting-edge semiconductors, which is true. For now. But he also points out something many Western analysts gloss over: China has power, literally.

– More generating capacity.
– Cheaper electricity for data centres.
– Industrial scale that feeds AI growth.

In the AI era, energy is leverage.

He even concedes that China’s state-directed model works when it decides something matters. Money flows, infrastructure follows, regulation adjusts and talent aligns.

Compare that with Washington’s current approach:

– Tariffs.
– Political theatre.
– Policy swings every election cycle.

Rattner’s conclusion isn’t “contain China,” it’s “fix America.”

Industrial policy, research investment and strategic coherence. In other words, stop pretending trade wars are strategy.

What I find most interesting is the shift in tone.

For years, Western commentary oscillated between: “China is about to collapse” and “China cheats.”

Now we’re seeing something different: “We’re behind.”

The real question is whether Western audiences will accept that this isn’t a temporary surge, but a structural shift.

Is this the moment the narrative finally starts catching up with reality?

That will go down as the dumbest part of that election. That and latino men self owning because they wouldn't vote for a black woman.

The fact that he felt comfortable saying this shit to a Black man about to cut his hair is disrespectful. I would have given that nigga the Friar Tuck.

She's from Howard. She was taught the truth. The question is the truth theoretical or it a praxis.

And what about his homie in The House? These are the games Power plays. We know all white people are evil, but we know Rappin 4 Raheim ain't it. Do you rock with him because of the hue or do we burn the whole thing down? What did Malcolm say about the folks in the field and a strong breeze?

None of the stuff you see in The Press is true because it's really propaganda meant to rile you up and throw a bitch-fit.
