nedboy7 Posted May 20 Posted May 20 9 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: yes https://finance.yahoo.com/news/citi-ceo-something-deeper-is-going-on-in-financial-markets-right-now-164730586.html "We are entering a new phase of globalization — one less defined by cooperation, and more by strategic self-interest," Fraser wrote. "Long-held assumptions are being challenged, not just by tariff announcements but by a deeper confidence shock. The near-term impact is already being felt, and the long-term trajectory is being rewritten in real time." Fraser said the markets are signaling a "shift" by moving to price greater risks into assets. "If you're looking to markets for clarity, you might be a tad disappointed," Fraser wrote. "But if you're looking for signals, they're everywhere. Treasury yields rose even as equity markets wobbled. The U.S. dollar, typically a safe haven, has weakened at moments when it used to rally." "That tells us something deeper is going on," she continued. "Investors aren't just pricing near-term risks; they're reevaluating the credibility of long-held certainties. It's showing up in how capital moves. Pensions and asset managers are tilting more towards Japan, India and parts of Europe. Hedge funds are being selective and didn't chase the April equity bounce. Sovereign wealth funds are diversifying more aggressively. Hedging against the dollar is now at levels we haven't seen in years." I think financial minds all have TDS. You have to give it a year then see how bad it is. At least transgenders can’t use the bathroom of their choice. 1

I'm just guessing here but the way I've seen stuff like this play out in the past is only those that don't meet the work requirements for government assistance are ineligible to receive SNAP Benefits if they have a dependent between the age of 8 to 18.
Niagara Bill Posted May 23 Posted May 23 So as of today...Trump accepts bribe of 400,000,000 airplane, socialized with dictators who have no human rights and the US subsidizes them for 100s of billions each year by buying oil and selling nothing to them except crypto then he wakes up at 2 am, Ludnick whines and trump threatens the EU, with 50% tariffs because they are being unfair by not bowing and bribing him. Just another step of isolation. Oh I forgot, Saudis agreed to sell more camel poop to American farmers for fertilizer. You know it is the best, does wonders everyone knows, I know about these things.

nedboy7 Posted May 26 Posted May 26 Remember when trumpers laughed at the Project 2025 concerns. Dishonesty is a primary trait of MAGA.

Doc Brown Posted May 29 Posted May 29 42 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: Will be overturned immediately. Maybe but hopefully this ruling eventually leads to to the Supreme Court where they'll rule it unconstitutional. Similar to the student loan forgiveness executive orders by Biden. I doubt Congress has the guts to do anything.

Big Blitz Posted May 29 Posted May 29 No no no no. In no way should we say “follow the trillions of dollars at stake for multinationals when it comes to this group of extremely well meaning judges.”
