Fast approaching the point where the best case scenario is the Trump administration desperately agrees a peace deal in a couple of months time when the economic tsunami hits, all because the White House is too dumb to understand lag times. Like covid, but with jet fuel.

David is joined by president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Adam Posen, for a conversation about the state of the global economy -- the effect of the war in Iran, the USs’ reputational hit caused by Trump’s tariffs, & the chance of a global recession. youtu.be/BH0H4dgmmq0

By now ya'll realize that "the Market" is in a state of denial - it rises no matter how bad it gets in any domain (#climate, #fascism in America, #gun violence, #Iran); and AI, not Trump, is behind that too.

#Trump #republicans are exploiting public ignorance about clinical research in order to harm the public. My op ed piece on RFK Jr's "Company and Doctor Conspiracy" #politics #news

#RFK Jr and the cult of natural medicine exploits public ignorance about the clinical research system. My letter to the editor of a local paper:

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

Let's face it: posting to social media is mainly preaching to the converted. If if feels good, do it, but consider copying your comments and submitting as op ed pieces where it has a better chance to persuade the persuadable. My piece on #abortion submitted today:

This is old #news. The US partnership with #NATO ended when the American people (duped by #FOX news immigrant fearmongering) elected the Putin-adoring fascist.

The stock market has enriched 5% of the population. It's in denial: about climate change (first and foremost), about the negative impacts of AI, about the danger of fascism about trumpian political dysfunction, about prospects for peace. about the wellbeing of regular people.

Cost to US taxpayers (what he and his cronies dodge) —Operation Epic Fury—is estimated to be at least $28 billion. Since the conflict began on February 28, 2026, (that Fox news cheers on) spending has averaged nearly $800 million to $1 billion per day. www.csis.org/analysis/37-...

If FDA does this, which is likely succumbing to pressure from RFK Jr, it crosses a new red line and, as far as I know, unprecedented. Lifting a ban on drugs that are injected into the bloodstream without data for safety or efficacy, so they can be compounded and further promoted to Americans.
