I may be out of line, but who’s actually running the country? There’s way too much stupidity and incompetence coming out of the White House to be coming from Trump alone. #MAGA #republicans #trump #incompetence #iran #war #Israel #middleeast #economy #epstein #news #politics #worldnews

China and Indonesia today fully linked their national QR payment networks. Both central banks call it a deliberate move to bypass the dollar. Transactions settle directly in rupiah and yuan under their local currency settlement framework. No USD in the chain. A Chinese tourist can now scan an Indonesian QRIS code with Alipay or UnionPay and pay like a local at over 39 million merchants. Indonesians can do the same in China with their 33 local e-wallets. https://jakartaglobe.id/business/dedollarization-drive-indonesiachina-crossborder-qris-payments-to-launch-next-week #news #economy

🟢 TradeWar | 7/10 🇪🇨 🇨🇴 Colombia-Ecuador trade collapses amid tariff war Trade relations between Colombia and Ecuador are rapidly collapsing amid an escalating tariff dispute. Ecuador has imposed a 100% tariff on all imports from Colombia. In response, Colombia has introduced restrictions on Ecuadorian goods, with rates reaching up to 75%. This mutual escalation is leading to a sharp decline in bilateral trade volumes. Businesses in both countries are already feeling the economic impact of this confrontation. #OSINT #NewsGroup #Ecuador #Colombia #TradeWar #Economy

It's going to be hard for mom and dad to home school their kids when they'll have to work a shift at the factory, then run over to the town with a 24-hour gas station to get a shift there. Of course, those jobs could all flame out if gas and diesel prices keep rising. We will look back on some small ghost towns and remember when they had a gas station and cafe before the economy crashed in the '20s. (Pun intended). #indiana #uspol #economy

oh hey i found it! i knew i kept it xD I led a tiny group of people (we called it an "informational protest" down at Westlake with this for hours. Had a lot of good conversations but, well. Funniest part was the Roaches* trying to get in on our bit and me physically chasing them off. Never let LaRouchites into your party. (Are they even still around? Look 'em up.) #protest #economy

Oh, also of interest: the headlines note that there were the most dissenters on this rates decision since 1992. Since people were looking for a rate cut the implication is that the dissenters wanted one. That is NOT CORRECT. There were four dissents. _One_ wanted an immediate rate cut, as context around the headlines would imply. The other three wanted the forward-looking possible-rate-cut-languge _removed_. They wanted no rate cut now, and they wanted the suggestion of a rate cut at the next meeting _taken out_, meaning they expect higher inflation. This is the opposite of the contextual headline implication and one should take it onboard for one's inflation expectations accordingly. #economy #InterestRates #FedReserve #inflation

This is not financial advice and I am not a financial advisor, but my inflation expectations are more in line with those of the dissenters. People see the gas/diesel price shocks. Most people aren't yet really seeing the shipping price shocks. The goods price shock hasn't hit yet, but it absolutely will; if you look you can see it coming. As for food, well, people are seeing a little foods price shock but it's mostly transportation impacts passed along so relatively low-key so far for most, but if fertiliser supplies don't get sorted - China's helping with that in eastern Asia, sharing from their considerable reserves stockpile - the hard impacts will be four to six months off. #economy #InterestRates #FedReserve #prices #inflation

They have BYDs in Mexico. I've seen cars from Mexico with Mexican license plates around Northwest Indiana, so their cars are visiting the US. BYDs from Mexico are cruising around in California right now and people in the US are seeing them. https://youtu.be/p7-85RO1-gM #cars #ev #uspol #economy #china

The decision centers on #tariffs imposed under an “emergency” powers #law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” #tariffs he levied on nearly every other country on earth. It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of 3 conservative jurists in his first term. #law #economy #geopolitics #Trump #SCOTUS #affordability #inflation #CostOfLiving

#Trump has been very vocal about the case, calling it one of the most important in #US #history & saying a ruling against him would be an economic body blow to the country. But #legal opposition crossed the political spectrum, including #libertarian & pro-#business groups that are typically aligned with the #GOP. Polling has found tariffs are NOT broadly popular with the public, amid wider voter concern about #affordability. #law #economy #geopolitics #SCOTUS #inflation #CostOfLiving
