Our bonds have always been considered a safe investment. Now? Maybe not anymore. https://fortune.com/2025/03/12/national-debt-burden-ray-dalio-foreign-government-pressure/ Ray Dalio has been publicly warning about U.S. debt and its potential consequences for well over a decade. His concerns became particularly prominent after the 2008 financial crisis, when he frequently discussed the risks of excessive debt, central bank interventions, and the long-term debt cycle. 2011-2012: Dalio outlined his "beautiful deleveraging" framework, discussing how the U.S. was managing its debt crisis compared to historical patterns. 2018: He warned that the U.S. was in the late stage of a debt cycle and could face significant problems in the next economic downturn. 2020-2021: During the pandemic, he highlighted the dangers of excessive money printing and rising government debt. 2023-Present: He has been increasingly vocal about the unsustainable trajectory of U.S. debt, the risks of de-dollarization, and potential geopolitical consequences. His warnings have consistently revolved around debt cycles, inflation, and the long-term implications of fiscal and monetary policy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But through it all, the rest of the world was happy to buy our debt as a safe haven. The difference is that now the rest of the world might no longer see it as safe.

Starkiller Posted March 14 Author Report Share Posted March 14 https://www.westernjournal.com/donald-trump-set-invoke-alien-enemies-act-1798-fourth-time-us-history-report/ President Donald Trump will soon follow up his promise to implement a 1798 law to speed up the expulsion of illegal immigrants from America, according to a new report. “I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil,” he said during the presidential campaign, according to NPR. The act gives Trump the power to expel non-citizens during a time of national emergency. Trump could invoke it as soon as Friday, according to CNN. The Alien Enemies Act has been invoked three times in US history during World Wars I and II to detain or expel groups considered a threat.

Jamalisms Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 In an alternate world, Elon Musk sacrificing himself to perform the greatest trick of all time and convince conservatives to embrace EVs would have been done as an act and with noble intentions. That it was done in full-blooded hubris and embracing of his own worst inclinations is quite the difference. IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzTitan Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I don't think targeted retaliation strikes are really "new wars", but of course things can escalate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Here’s a ‘dead’ person on Social Security in Seattle, with plenty to say “DOGE Has 10 Staffers at Social Security in Hunt for Dead People,” the headlines read this past week. I found a dead person on Social Security. Right here in Seattle, on Capitol Hill. Of course the circumstances of Ned Johnson’s death were completely the opposite of what Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency had claimed was rampant. “You wake up one day and discover you’re dead,” Johnson told me. “It’s been truly surreal.” https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/ OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbest mother fuckers. Ebenezer Scrooge has joined the chat to say Might as well declare them dead. There won't be any complaints because the offices and call center have been shut down. They'll probably be dead by the next election anyways. We'll save so much money! IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
