#WolffBites: US insurance firms and pension funds seek more profits by moving hundreds of $ billions to less-regulated places (Bermuda, etc.), So their safety erodes. In contrast, China invests more in wealth-generating industrial production. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

#WolffBites: Bloomberg bashes China again. Says its economy in deflation, its gov't lying. Fact: In recent years China's inflation rate kept near zero. Embarrassingly crude China bashing = sign of weakness and desperation. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

#WolffBite: Good economy? US companies this October announced the largest job cuts in 20 years. No wonder Americans find socialism ever more appealing. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

#WolffBites: Zohran Mamdani has a parallel new leader in Caterie Connolly, Ireland's newly elected President. How the political winds are shifting! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

#WolffBites: China's inflation from October 2024 to October 2025 was 0.2%. The US inflation over the same time was 3%. Thus US inflation was 15 times worse than Chinese. A repeated difference in recent years. finance.yahoo.com/news/china-c...

#WolffBites: Zohran Mamdani: another American mostly inside his "new country" yet also partly outside so he sees not only how nations differ but also how capitalism and socialism do.

#WolffBites: American capitalism 2025: the already obscenely rich get even richer by shifting income and wealth from the rest of an overcharged and underpaid people. It's how capitalism works. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

#WolffBites: US poll of college students shows that 67% view socialism as either positive or neutral, while only 40% feel that way about capitalism. Capitalism's performance produces the yearning for something better. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

#WolffBites: Mississippi police officers arrested for drug trafficking. No risk of death penalty if convicted. US military executed over 60 people in South American boats over recent weeks, called them "drug traffickers." Trump team cheers. www.newsnationnow.com/crime/missis...

#WolffBites: Yes, so far US businesses either pay Trump's tariffs or pass them on in higher prices for consumers. But remember, before his tariffs, Trump extended earlier tax cuts for corporations and the rich plus added new ones. US consumers got no offsetting tax cuts. www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

#WolffBites: 57 people killed in boats on open seas in recent months. US Chief Executive has taken on the extra job of Chief Executioner. No evidence, lawyers, juries, or judges....just straight to execution. www.bbc.com/news/article...

#WolffBites: A president stretches the law to enhance powers that include killing. It is a desperate gesture trying to offset the decline of the empire and its "rules-based international order." All previous empires declined despite such gestures. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

#WolffBites: Imports = 99% of US coffee consumption; 31% from Brazil. Trump's 50% tariff on Brazil is paid by US coffee importers. They in turn raised US coffee prices by 21% since August 2024: 7 times the general inflation rate. www.cnn.com/2025/10/19/b...

#WolffBites: Yet another global company blames its economic woes on Trump's tariffs and the market uncertainties they bring. Growing global pattern of blaming/isolating Trump's US. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

#WolffBites: Trump uses our taxes ($20 billion) to bailout extreme right-wing leader Milei in Argentina. Milei cuts taxes on Argentina's rich and corporations and cuts gov't programs for average Argentinians (like Trump in US). www.cnn.com/2025/10/12/e...

#WolffBites: Executing people without trial, jury, judge or lawyers for an alleged drug-trafficking crime (NOT punished by execution in the US for a long time). Were the dead Venezuelans? Others? Does it matter? Did anyone check? Will US citizens be next? www.bbc.com/news/article...

#WolffBites: Capitalism's decline inside rich nations is matched by gross international failures to end poor nations' underdevelopment. Unspeakable utterly unnecessary suffering while capitalist billionaires amass still more rather than use it humanely. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Trump's tariffs turn Switzerland away from trade with the US. So US further isolated. Tariffs also raise prices of Swiss medical devices for US customers. Similar stories in many nations. Trump's tariffs cost the US economy bigtime. www.bbc.com/news/article...

#WolffBites: US capitalism's decline further expands the wealth gap. 10% "haves" vs 90% "have much less"... "Premium" (pricier) seats bring profit gains to big old airlines, but cheaper seats and cheaper planes have fewer customers so their profits fall. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Using red-baiting to attack teachers' unions, UK's Trump-light Farage revives worst of McCarthyism in speech to Michigan "Christian" school. Another declining capitalism desperately demonizes the "left" and "unions" and "Marxism." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

US liquor exports to Canada drop 85% in 2025. Trump never grasped how a declining US empire and economy cannot impose tariffs on the world without all sorts of very costly retaliation. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

#WolffBites: US troops target US cities, gov't shuts down, economic and political conflict and uncertainty surge. No wonder tariffs do not lead CEOs to relocate jobs back to the US

#WolffBites: The US job situation darkens. Why? Because gov't shutdown, troops sent to major cities, ICE deportation violence, deepening social divisions: all warn employers to NOT relocate business to the US.

#WolffBites: Nothing works better to persuade CEOs to relocate factories into the US than a President who sends troops into US cities. Conflict, protests, military occupations: all super good for business... Right? www.bbc.com/news/article...

#WolffBites: A government shutdown based on the failure of two parties to prevent will make corporate CEOs think twice before relocating factories into the US.

#WolffBites: Two guys in trench coats tell a bartender he must pay $500/week for protection. Angrily, he asks "From whom?" From us they say. Trump tells Europe to invest $ billions in the US. Why asks Europe, To lower our tariffs against you, says Trump.

#WolffBites: Why US working class complains about inflation: price of coffee per pound went from $4 in 2019 to $6 in 2023 to $ 8.87 in August, 2025. No wonder we scoff when politicians speak of "great economy." usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/coffee-prices-by-year-and-adjust-for-inflation/

#WolffBites: Argentina's right-wing "Trumper", Milei, is undercut by grim economy. Austerity policies fail, corruption deepens, his popularity crashes. Milei just lost big Buenos Aires election; more losses coming. batimes.com.ar/news/economy....

#WolffBites: US capitalism depends on and thus serves mostly the richest 10-20%. It leaves the rest merely to struggle to get by. An economy split in that way splits its politics and culture too: Trumpism. fortune.com/2025/09/17/e...
