Quite a lot has been written and published in news outlets and by commentators and analysts about our political class’ efforts to keep the #NeoLiberalEconomy going despite its obvious failures and the ever growing #WealthInequity it engenders.
What I have not read or heard is any analysis of why our polies are so enomoured with the current #FinancialSystem that they are blind to the fact that they are just #pawns ,like the rest of us, in the hands of #TheRich and #ThePowerful, those who bathe in cash and equity (if only they could drown in it, I’d be at ease, alas…).
Polies have been “rewarded” (in remuneration and gifts) and temporarily handed over the semblance of “Power” (in control of legislative levers and drummed up electoral support) by the #MediaBarons (msm and social media) and those with more wealth than most nations of the South in the UN Assembly can lay claim to, towards just one end… to extract more wealth and power from everyone else, even those polies…
So why are polies so #Gullable? Is there a clinical issue here? What is the psychological condition they suffer from? Is there a cure? Are we all to sit back and take more of this shit? Where will it end… the extraction of wealth and power… when all we are left is universal slavery and the dogs at the top table start tearing at each other’s flesh? Maybe we’ll be extinct before then.
We’re not going to make it to a third millenium AD at this rate folks.

A deep dive into a $10 billion debt industry that quietly profits from financial stress. This video explains how the system works, who benefits, and why it is so hard for people to escape once they are pulled in. Well worth watching for anyone concerned about economic fairness.

Trump’s 50-Year Mortgage Idea Is Basically Just Renting Forever
So, Trump recently floated this idea of a 50-year mortgage — and honestly, it’s one of the most absurd, dystopian financial ideas imaginable. Let’s break this down, because it’s not just bad economics — it’s bad for everyday people, bad for homeowners, and good only for the banks and real estate speculators who want to keep us paying forever. A 50-year mortgage isn’t a dream of homeownership — it’s a nightmare of lifelong debt. You wouldn’t own your home; you’d just be […] -
#Trump expands 50% #steel and #aluminum #tariffs to include 407 additional product types - https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/19/trump-trade-steel-aluminum-tariffs-.html - #destroy #US #economy #financialsystem #trump #maga “By my count, the steel and aluminum tariffs now affect at least $320 billion of imports based on 2024′s general customs value of imports,” Jason Miller, a professor of #supplychain management at Michigan State University, wrote on LinkedIn. That is a substantial increase from his prior estimate of roughly $190 billion."

The current #AI #datacentre #buildingboom, driven by the increasing demand for #computingpower, has led to substantial #capitalexpenditure by tech companies. The involvement of private #creditfunds, which borrow from #banks, adds to the risk, as a bust in private credit could impact bank balance sheets and pose a #systemicrisk to the #financialsystem. https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/will-data-centers-crash-the-economy?eicker.news #tech #media #news

In trying to make sense of the #wrecking ball that is #ElonMusk and Trump’s #DOGE, helpful to think about Evil Housekeeper Problem. It’s a principle of #computersecurity roughly stating that once someone is in your hotel room with your laptop, all bets are off. Because the intruder has physical access, you are in much more trouble. And the person demanding to get into your #computer may be standing right beside you. #natsec #security #IT #networks https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/07/1111283/elon-musk-doge-and-the-evil-housekeeper-problem-government-technology/ #CFPB #financialsystem
