In 2025, renewables overtook coal in global electricity generation for the first time in over 100 years.
Renewables: 33.8%
Coal: 33.0%
Coal fell below a third of global electricity generation for the first time in history.
Well, we’re in trouble.
Freight rates boomeranged and are back to their highest levels since 2022. This affects the price at the checkout counter, and the cost of transportation.
“But the price of eggs”, right?

The cracks spread, glass fractures, & then it all falls apart.
Once again, I must remind folks that prices per barrel and GDP figures are insufficient for measuring the scope of the present crisis. Pieces of our economy are shutting down & that will inflict substantial downstream harm.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Is he drunk? Certainly on power but in reality he is emasculated.
When you pay your taxes this year, remember: Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, many huge corporations will pay little to nothing in federal taxes.

An exceptionally ill intentioned human who is not only anti democratic but without any apparent moral compass 🧭.
And JD Vance is his creation.
Was Krasnov the kiss of death with his support for Orban?
He increasingly comes across as a toxic liability.
Bulkshitting and bullying will only get you so far. Eventually the mask slips.
History will judge him and his fellow travelers harshly.

It's time for lifestyle audits and for investigation into state capture. The trump junta is one of, if not the most corrupt crime families around.
A documentary about the First Lady that costs Amazon $75,000,000 and barely makes a dent at the box office is not a smart investment on its own.
But what if that same company secures a $580,000,000 Pentagon contract around the same time?
Suddenly, the math starts to look different.
This is very interesting. China eats away at US global reserve currency. #econsky #natsecsky
Th US is listing an aircraft full of mostly young people to fentanyl every year.
Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education.
Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.
Fuck Microsoft. Really...

Past oil shocks had massive effects on our economy and politics.
And the current one—caused by Trump’s War in Iran—is nearly two times larger.

Krasnov is the ultimate confidence booster...

Yep. Live by the sword, fall on your sword I guess...
Monsanto / Bayer sucking the roundup lemon big time.
Just desserts.
Do Not Shut Your Eyes To This Matter.
Thank You For Your Attention.
Who would have thunk it?
Yep. Said the same thing at the start of the damn fool Krasnov war.
Unintended consequences rock sometimes.
Best send him on it!
Who would think that there would ever be shortage of the most common element in the universe?
Fuck Trumps wrath: we have to have the moral compass to call out whether is wrong in the world. As South Africa did calling out Israeli genocide.
If you are not calling it out you're complicit.
Yep..the more things change the more they stay the same!
Krasnovs latest move is to threaten crimes against humanity in Iran.
Nothing new to see here.
Winning must be so good.
You have to love quantum mechanics. 💓
