The war in Iran is going badly, the Epstein files are still hidden, inflation is way up and the world is moving on without us.
I get so bored of saying this, but even the FT who should know better, has a chart today titled: 'UK House Price has Flatlined'....
Red my lips: RISING HOUSE PRICES ARE ASSET PRICE INFLATION!!!
I dream of the day I no longer need to regularly post this statement!
Wow. Apparently #Trump started a #war to give #Iran more power. Pretty sure that’s called losing.
Proposed #StraitOfHormuz deal would give Iran control of inbound traffic, sources say

Hey Canada - its reported that starting next week, Australians will get 3 hours of *free* electricity each afternoon, all thanks to clean, renewable (not nuclear) energy and storage batteries.
We have the environment and locations to build wind, solar, hydro and tidal power generation, but instead, one of the first three mega-projects the Federal government is looking at funding is a place to hide nuclear waste.
And our electricity bills keep going up.

The blame falls right on the greedy CEOs, investors, etc. Glad they are being warned. If people have to fret about where they are going to get $30 for a donut, fast food coffee and a couple gallons of gas to get to their extremely low return paying job(s), at least its nice to know that the CEOs have to worry they are being hunted like prey. #USpol #Inflation #Economy
Cops Warn CEO Bodyguards That #LuigiMangione Fever Could Spark #ClassWar
Cops warned corporate bodyguards that “challenges faced by the middle and lower classes” might spur attacks on wealthy #CEOS.
By Glen Stellmacher, Noah Hurowitz
June 25 2026, 1:38 p.m. ET"A law enforcement intelligence hub in New Jersey fretted that the growing class divide in the U.S. could drive a wave of lone-wolf attacks on high-flying corporate executives, according to a report obtained by The Intercept.
"The New Jersey Regional Operations and Intelligence Center, one of the so-called #FusionCenters that serve as intelligence clearinghouses for cops, warned in a bulletin earlier this year that disaffected Americans were increasingly blaming society’s ills on #RichPeople and #CorporateBigwigs.
"The report specifically cited the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024 — allegedly by Luigi Mangione — as an expression of #AntiFatCat rhetoric. To the analysts at the New Jersey fusion center, Thompson’s killing hinted at a larger trend.
" 'Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy #corporateexecutives,' the fusion center memo says.
"By warning corporate security outfits of the danger posed by average Americans who blame their problems on the actions of corporate executives, the report effectively dedicates public resources to securing a private system that has made the few extremely wealthy at the expense of the many."

Today in Labor History June 8, 1852: The earliest recorded strike by Chinese immigrants to the U.S. occurred when Chinese stonemasons, who were brought to San Francisco to build the three-story Parrott granite building, went on strike for higher pay. Thousands of workers who labored in the hills during the gold rush, would come to San Francisco each winter to find work away from the icy blizzards, creating even greater competition for the limited jobs and housing that was available. On top of this, prices in San Francisco for housing, food, and other goods, were often 10-20 times more expensive than the rest of the country due to the inflation caused by the Gold Rush. It was actually cheaper to ship one’s clothes to Hawaii to be laundered than to have it done locally. And racism against the Chinese was rampant and violent.

C’est un peu la panique en haut lieu face aux conséquences de la guerre contre l’Iran: « La situation est partie pour durer », admet Lecornu tandis que Bercy confirme: « l’inflation est en hausse et le marché de l’emploi se dégrade ». Le gouvernement annonce de nouvelles aides dont une hausse de la prime carburant à 600 euros. « Ce n’est pas une bonne tendance », euphémisme un conseiller de l’exécutif.

“Not even a little bit,” #Trump said.
“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” Trump continued, a stunningly frank admission that came after weeks spent either downplaying the conflict’s economic toll or simply asking Americans to be patient. His only consideration, Trump said, was preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon: “That’s all.”

ABC7: SoCal food distribution event draws long lines, some turned away after food runs out
"...BALDWIN PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- A drive-through food distribution event drew lines of cars that wrapped around the block in Baldwin Park Wednesday, but not everybody was able to get food.
The event, hosted by Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, was supposed to run until noon, but food ran out about half an hour before that. Organizers had to turn away an unknown number of people after giving away food to some 2,000 families...."
Reminder: Consumerism is structural
Fiat money is debased every year because it's all based on debt.
The money supply has to grow in order to pay the interest on said debt.
The only way this can continue is for more goods and services to be produced and consumed, and at an exponential rate.
That's why you're being gaslight about inflation not being that bad.

LA Times: California braces for uncertainty as last shipment of Persian Gulf oil arrives in Long Beach
"...The last California-bound oil tanker to pass through the Strait of Hormuz since war erupted is at the Port of Long Beach offloading its valuable cargo — 2 million barrels of crude destined to be transformed into gasoline, jet fuel and diesel.....In two weeks, the Hong Kong-flagged tanker will have fully unloaded at the Marathon Petroleum terminal and departed again for distant waters. After that, California must figure out how to replace some 200,000 barrels of oil a day that will no longer be arriving from the Persian Gulf. ..."
