The insights shared in this post are quite disturbing. worse because they appear to be correct. I do NOT like war at all. To all of those who say "War is hell" I say don't be sugar coating it! Mister Trump is certainly not acting the way I would approve of.
This article is certainly both interesting and educational. Yes, defaults DO HAPPEN, even when folks are telling me they can't happen. I have been thinking that there will be a terrible default in social security when the powers in charge tell me that because I also set aside for retirement, I don't need my SS money, and so they will give it to others who need it much more than I do. I still see this coming as the ultimate default/insult, and I see no way to prevent it.
This posting backs up the advice once offered to my by an old Hill-Billy, which was: "Never pick a fight with a guy who can stomp you into the ground." Unfortunately, president Trump does not adequately understand the position that the Chinese have, which you have pointed out. Understanding the strength of others is very important when dealing with them, I believe.. If only Mr Trump had more insight and less ego.
Almost without exception, it seems that many find it far easier to take risks with other people's (borrowed) money. This is somewhat similar to my observation that it is always easier to be generaous with other people's money. Our government's spending offers absolute proof of that assertion.
This report explains what is sort of intuitive, without pointing out specifically that it is the poorly thought out trade tariffs that are the cause of much of the problem. Although fiscal irresponsibility in some European countries has certainly has contributed a bit
I have negative sympathy for petroleum speculators and price manipulators.The people hoping to boost the price of the fuel that I need. So when there is a higher stock of the less expensive fuel the people are able to exercise the freedom to travel a bit cheaper. There are plenty of other things to get rich off of, OK?
So thanks for an article explaining what is happening.
I did find this article both educational and interesting, although a bit disconcerting in places. There is no organization so great and successful that poor leadership can not destroy it. I have seen that happen in great businesses and it is always painful to be part of it.
Interesting. I have no use for Ebay and it's very high commissions, and it's very obnoxious intrusions into my information searches. And I see no reason at all to complain about $2.6 billion revenue. Much less taxes on that amount.
I DO NOT like talk when it would be more educational as text. I do not read this blog to be entertained, but to be educated. Yes,I am no fun when I need to be learning.
Sad news indeed. But it does prove that there is no institution so successful that it can't be destroyed by poor management. Very true but quite sad here.
