The tacit contract between the @WSJ and its readers is: ideology on the editorial page, reality in the news pages. Money talks, bullshit walks. Reality's well-known anticapitalist bias means hewing too closely to ideology will make you broke, and unable to push your ideology.

That's why the editorial page will rail against "printing money" while the news section will confine itself to asking which kinds of federal spending competes with the private sector (creating a bidding war that drives up prices) and which kinds are not.

The Biden administration keeps proving that personnel are policy. Biden himself is a kind of empty vessel into which different wings of the Democratic party pour their will, yielding a strange brew of appointments both great and terrible. 1/ A bombed out neighborhood. Over the crumbling houses is the

On the one hand, you have progressive appointments like #JonathanKanter at @JusticeATR and @linakhanFTC at the @FTC, leaders who are determined to challenge and curb corporate power:

The US Federal Reserve has two imperatives: keeping #employment high and #inflation low. When these conflict - when unemployment goes near-zero - the Fed forgets all about #FullEmployment, cranking #InterestRates to "cool the economy" (AKA "increasing #unemployment"). 1/ A vintage postcard illustration of the Federal Reserve build

如何利用糧食作為控制
其他國家及其他政府的 #武器

一語道破。何等悲哀的現實:
#全球農業政策
#第三世界國家債務 的痛苦#真相」

當今世上 #最邪惡的組織

「美國是永遠不會償還債務的。」
它的 #債務 是以自己的貨幣來計算。我們只需要簡單地 #打印鈔票 出來便是了。
#非洲的債務 都以美元計算。
所以非洲必須要賺取美元。

主要支撐世界銀行的「基礎」就是「沒有國家可以 #自己種植糧食」。#非洲#第三世界 若不斷增長 #出口農作物。出口便會使可可和其他熱帶原料供應過剩,價格便被壓低了。

(1/4) Is it #Russia or the #UnitedStates that’s overreaching? I hoped, when I voted for him, that age could have made @POTUS wiser as a leader -- but flaws remain -- a Cold Warrior conditioned by the past, despising #Putin with insults and accusations that require diplomacy.
(2/4) Presidency under siege, @POTUS sticking to worn-out @HillaryClinton-neocon playbook of the new, hawkish Democratic party. Pushing #NATO and #sanctions to new levels of risk in order to maim Russia at practically any cost short of WWIII - though (god forbid) that may change.
(3/4) Please see this devastating deep-state analysis of the U.S. economy by @profwolff and #MichaelHudson. Wordy but worth it, it sticks with me as true to the present world. Very interested in your reactions. consortiumnews.com/2022/03/31/rea…
