As of last year, I thought that this year's GDP prints would be unrecognizably high as effects of trade balances and massive cap-ex really throttled the prints beyond anything we've seen...
I got that completely wrong.

NOTA is on the ballot.
I emphatically encourage you to vote this election

You may think your vote doesn't matter. I can guarantee you it 100% won't if you don't cast it.

This appears to be hitting $SPCX today. An Israeli company has allegedly been spying on Starlink users, Reuters reports. Researchers at TrendAI, a defense firm, found that an Israeli ad tech company has been targeting users of Starlink's satellite internet service, likely to spy on them, Reuters reports, citing six people familiar with the matter. TrendAI, a unit of Trend Micro, determined that Israeli company Discover-Tech was one of the largest sources of digital ads shown to SpaceX's Starlink users, and the ads were likely used to geolocate or surveil them, the sources told Reuters.
There is an "ick" factor involved with sending me a notification about who I'm following that is using a financial product from this platform.

I am growing weary of claims that AI is supporting the economy. As I see it, the economy is being floated on a big fat glob of debt--humongous glob of debt. It will end poorly, IMO.
Saw one cross my TV for the first time, today.
A completely AI Generated commercial with an AI version of Gov Shapiro talking about his own corruption.
It reminded me both of why I hate AI generated images/video and why I have learned to hate politics.
The ONE thing we though we could trust this Administration with was to not screw us over on energy costs... and they went ahead and proactively screwed us over on energy costs.
Just so we could be governed by Big Tech and a foreign country.

So We're Running This War (CLIP)- Tucker Carlson
My conversation with @TuckerCarlson is now up on Patreon, Substack, and YouTube. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber to watch now.
We're still waiting on all of that deflation that Miran was trying to convince us of a year ago.
He's one of the reasons that the GOP is in election trouble, right now. They dismissed the inflation in 2025 and that drove bad Fed Policy choices...which allowed for more inflation.
Yeah... it couldn't POSSIBLY be an entire year of shit policy, blatant corruption, degradation of their own 2024 coalition, or the resulting destructive consequences...
🚨 NEW: Fox’s @bdomenech just said the quiet part out loud: Trump’s been OUTWORKING the GOP’s midterm candidates!
“Frankly, he’s making a better case for their election in many instances than they are making for themselves.”
“He has been out there campaigning for them as hard as you can possibly go. He’s running late into the night, and he’s starting over the next day, and the energy level is huge.”
“I think that at the end of the day, if Republicans end up losing this race, they can blame history, they can blame the climate, but they can’t blame the President. I think the President has been out there, you know, having their back and making, quite frankly, a better case for their election in many instances than they are making for themselves.”
Phillies/Orioles...
I'm glad I got to see it when it happened because the O's haven't been back since and it took the Phils another 25 years to phinally win it.
This election involves the choice of Communism at home vs Blowing up shit across the globe...
Both of these paths will ultimately come home to roost via violence.
