Isn’t it amazing that when the world seemed lost & sliding into a dystopian colourless future that Trump
should step forward . Is he the new Messiah (only joking ) but in a strange way that is how he is viewed by his followers . He may not be the most eloquent speaker (JD is in another league) but he is like a bulldozer pushing the world in the right direction .
Dearest Alex, I have the highest regard for your insights! This is a very interesting and encouraging analysis...I definitely got the sense that during Trump's visit the UK was being treated benevolently - like a cousin heading down the wrong path. It's also in the the US administration's best interests that we don't turn into a complete authoritarian hell hole - they see that we are in a full scale existential crisis! It's usual for them to look out for their own best interests, right now it's ensuring we remain a dependable ally. I think you are right on the money here! Excellent work!
Dear Alex, first post on here - like many, I've just joined.
The USA entered into loan agreements with the UK during and after WW2.
The Marshall Plan was not really a commercial loan arrangement, which did benefit countries like Germany.
I think the UK should not expect hand-outs.
This should be a loan, to allow the 50% of the economy located in the Public Sector to be trimmed back and boost commerce - so enabling pay-back of the loan.
We should not expect an income.
It has to be earned - and that means continuing to compete for business around the world.
One of the worst decisions made in terms of National Monetary Policy, was moving from the Gold Standard as the level of National Wealth. I remember Harold Wilson PM, shprtly after making a Natuonal Broadcast introducing a New word into common usage, Inflatipn, nothi g to worry about he said, there wull be no difference to your spendi g power.
The next worse decision? Fractuonal Reserve Banking, they spent the gold, then raided your money and savings, now....? There's almost FA left except the credit card.

Trump may be the last trump!
Just subscribed Alex well worth a few Bob. I also love your talk tv shows. Keep on trucking your enthusiasm for your subjects is fantastic
I meant to say Radio tv is too static 🥴
Clever stuff Alex, I hope you are right, I think you are, you had better be right x
As ever a perfect précis of the current situation. Beautifully written with such detail.

Alex, great analysis.i also think Trump’s tariffs are a defence against the greenback being replaced as THE reserve currency.
Excellent Alex, nail on head....
Interesting take and enough to get me to take out a sub.
Nice analysis Alex. I particularly like the sedated lion imagery.
Well done Alex, your geekery paid dividends - hopefully!
Lots to digest...really interesting though. "The Crinklies" gave me a giggle!
Very interesting Alex.

The problem with AI is that if we aren't very careful, it will kill us all. https://ifanyonebuildsit.com/
