But really: You are on Your first date (maybe You shouldn't go to a 5star restaurant) and start this nasty debate on sharing and calculating? Mmmh to me it's a 'downer'

This is something that the girls in northern Europe should get used to very soon. The speed at which the European Union and the parasite card in Brussels is driving into the poverty trap with permanent interventionism, over-regulation and socialism, ignoring things like collapsing demographics, is breathtaking. The last glimmer of hope for young people is the stability of the family, something the left has systematically attacked and eroded over the last decades. Bleak outlook, but there is light at the end of the tunnel! Fight back!

It's unbelievable: the radical left is calling for more moderate language from the #Trump campaign to prevent violence, only to call this man a dictator and Hitler in the same breath. At the same time, #Kamala Harris appears with Dick Cheney's daughter, underscoring her party's war ambitions and support for the military complex. It's all unbelievable! #USA #uselections

If You would measure inflation correctly (maybe by credit growth or a broader M) real rates along the YC in most european countries never went positive or only for a few weeks at the top. In the US it's different, the economy is by far more robust. Do You share this view?

The poll numbers for #Harris must be really bad to play the Hitler joker now, just before the election.

Germany's Economic Gamble: When More Government Spending Meets Market Reality

The once-mighty German economic engine is sputtering, and Berlin's response raises eyebrows across global markets. Recent proposals for a trillion-euro government fund aimed at "economic transformation" mark a dramatic shift in Europe's largest economy, but critics warn it's déjà vu all over again.

Under the weight of aggressive environmental regulations, soaring energy costs following nuclear phase-out, and one of the highest tax burdens in the developed world, German industry finds itself at a crossroads. The government's solution? More intervention and subsidies – essentially doubling down on policies that many analysts say contributed to the current slowdown.

"It's like prescribing more of the medicine that made the patient sick in the first place," notes a prominent European economist who wished to remain anonymous. The last five years of similar stimulus packages under Chancellor Scholz's leadership have failed to generate promised growth, with Germany actually recording negative growth over the past two years.

While business associations cautiously welcome investment proposals, they emphasize that without addressing fundamental issues – crushing tax burden, labor market rigidity, and bureaucratic paralysis – any injection of government funds may prove futile.

The irony isn't lost on market observers: the same administration that championed aggressive deindustrialization in the name of climate goals now promises to save industry through massive government spending.

Good idea. I literally can see Chrissie's Adam's Apple jumping around while trying YCC in a bond market that begins each and every day with a 'FU' just to end it with another 'GFU'

Eurozone's Economic Crisis Deepens: ECB Faces Pressure for Dramatic Policy Shift 🚨

In a remarkable turn of events, sources close to the European Central Bank reveal mounting internal pressure for aggressive monetary easing as the Eurozone sinks deeper into recession (surprise, surprise). The economic bloc faces a perfect storm of mounting sovereign debt, persistent inflation, and stagnating growth.

Multiple insiders at the ECB, speaking on condition of anonymity to Reuters, disclosed that a growing faction within the central bank is pushing for unprecedented policy changes. "The ECB has fallen behind the curve," one senior official stated, highlighting the urgent need for more dramatic interest rate cuts than previously anticipated.

The bombshell revelation suggests a potential abandonment of the bank's meeting-by-meeting approach to monetary policy, marking a seismic shift in the ECB's strategic framework. This will trigger another cycle of resource misallocation and artificial stimulus, further destabilizing the already fragile Eurozone economy.

The fiat machine will be spiraling the problem that it creates out of control. That's why we see these attacks on Bitcoin. Good luck, Chrissie, do Your destructive 'work'.

You guys really grew a nice camarilla of stupid political parasites over there. These crooks nearly have european flavour

But, quite democratically, our politicians will of course ignore the will of the majority of the people and continue to fuel their war machine with freshly printed money.

Fiscal Policy In The Power Trap

The extent to which interventionism and all forms of statist economic policy are woven into the power structure of our politics is shown, among other things, by the so-called Laffer curve. The empirical data is clear: if the state expands too far and taxes rise too high, the tax revenue of the private productive sector collapses. The question is, why is this context, which is empirically well documented, not being discussed more massively by the private sector in order to exert pressure on politicians?

We are experiencing an asymmetry of power in favor of the parasitic sector, whose inherent growth in power continues to erode the productivity of the private sector, which is necessary for social productivity and stability, and which maneuvers itself into a credibility trap when its actions and failures become openly apparent. Until then, the fiscal raid on the wallets of the middle class will inevitably intensify.

The Laffer curve implies a fiscal and economic death spiral!

Sad, but true. Europe is in big trouble.

We have a big leadership problem in the thing formally known as 'The West' https://files.sovbit.host/media/863f2c555276e9ed738933b0efee6b021042f16e1529dd755704885b87fee183/869f75f009971c1891c96d35a24f33bfce84d4fbe9f3c925b38159bbdb5bfe25.webp

Strangely enough, Nietzsche's thought always makes me think of the ethically rotten and blind parasites and functionaries of our central banks and the elegant waltz of the Bitcoiners.

China's Monetary Policy Push Hits Consumer Wall: Rate Cuts Aren't Moving the Needle

China's central bank faces a classic economic dilemma: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Despite aggressive monetary easing, including deeper-than-expected rate cuts, consumer lending remains sluggish, highlighting structural challenges in the world's second-largest economy.

Goldman Sachs analysts now project a 50-basis-point reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cut before year-end, doubling previous estimates. This follows Monday's surprise rate cut intensity, suggesting Beijing's growing concern about economic momentum.

However, Capital Economics' Zichun Huang warns that monetary stimulus alone won't catalyze credit demand. Without substantial fiscal intervention, China's growth targets may barely squeak by.

China is in a deflationary and demographically induced downward spiral, and the classic keynesian approach will not get us anywhere, especially not after the real estate market, which has acted as a kind of artificial economic stimulus program for decades, has also collapsed.

Good onr

In defense of the central banks' robbery, an academic, or better: a pseudo-academic belt, narratively and propagandistically secured by the mainstream media, has been wrapped around these institutions. Pseudo-academia such as Keynesianism or the bizarre MMT club help to prop up the institutionalized transfer of wealth from the productive sector into the overflowing wallets of these parasitic organizations and their representatives. The extent to which this has already been achieved can be seen from the fact that they manage to maintain their openly and brazenly communicated purchasing power robbery target of two percent inflation without encountering any significant opposition.
