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 .

Alex, great analysis.i also think Trump’s tariffs are a defence against the greenback being replaced as THE reserve currency.

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

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.

AI and escalating war with Russia - I'm afraid your Brave New World doesn't appeal at all.
