Didn’t Adolf Hitler try to swindle world bankers? It started out fine when the State (s) made money - but when they lost ~It was a wrap. Thanks for the article! Your knowledge of the markets is why I became an annual subscriber.

Wondering about your article titled “Here comes the pain”. So I have my bearings, you say it was written 4/5/25. Is it actually 7/5/25?

Putin started a war with Ukraine over 3 years ago. He strode in confidently, assured he would roll in and through to Kyiv in a rout, remove Zelensky and install his own puppet. His army is still bogged down, and if the EU comes through for Ukraine with weapons, that will continue.

Why was this? His military command was filled with yes-men who only gave good news and sunny projections. They oversold their military superiority to him, didn't count on, or suggest, gaming out Western allies intervention and his four-day war is on the way to its fourth year.

Trump is surrounded by economic, military, intelligence, foreign and domestic policy yes-men. He moves quickly and impetuously and has no functional brake in the rest of the federal government. He could pressure them to do as Putin's generals and feed him clear, sunny forecasts regardless of real data, making a bad situation worse. Even with good data, his lack of intellectual rigor and administrative discipline are enough to plunge the country into hell, aided and abetted by his cabinet of bobbleheads. This ride is going to get real wild.

Thanks again for a good explanation of the inner workings - and effect - of the data.
