"Officials such as Fed vice-chair Philip Jefferson note that soaring investment in AI infrastructure, such as data centres, boosts demand immediately — and risks raising prices, while the effects on productivity will take longer to play out."
And divesting or not, you can't tell me he is not biased.
Then again corruption and conflict of interest are unfortunately not newsworthy anymore because it is the norm under this administration.
Furthermore, he is also unqualified for the position.
Seriously, this is obscene!
Fed chair nominee Warsh "received more than $13mn in consulting fees last year, including $10.2mn from billionaire hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller’s family office, Duquesne."

"US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent summoned the leaders of some of the largest US banks earlier this week to discuss the cyber risk posed by the latest AI model from Anthropic, according to people familiar with the matter."
Maybe investing in gold isn't such a bad idea 🤔
Well, some central banks seem to be pretty good at engineering that trust into existence.
Also, ironically, central banks hold a lot of gold. That means they have a huge effect on the value of gold.

Why are they still trying so hard to get Trump to like them? It's a pointless endeavor, possibly even harmful.
Probably once again a scheme to enrich MAGA elites at the expense of everyone else.
The amount of possibilities when you don't have a working judicial system anymore ...

5. Die CDU hat ein Ideologieproblem. Die CDU ist nicht pragmatisch, sondern agiert ideologiegetrieben. Diese Politik der CDU auf Bundesebene ist genau das, was ihr in BaWü geschadet hat, weil es Wechselwähler vertreibt und Lager vereint. #lifestyleteilzeit #teuer-heizen-gesetz #zahnersatz (6/x)

Disinformation joining in globally together with war, famine, pestilence and death..
Russia and the Trump administration turned #disinformation into a global reality.
The truth is just optional..
Das Problem ist, dass in den Städten schneller ausgezählt wird als auf dem Land (warum weiß ich nicht mehr).
Da die CDU auf dem Land stärker ist gewinnt sie leider im Laufe des Abends gegenüber den Grünen meistens noch etwas...
My Ukrainian friend Ivan from Kyiv gifted me these colorful socks made in Ukraine by the Lviv Socks Cooperative. If you can navigate its website in Ukrainian, you too can be the proud owner. Buying products made in Ukraine helps Ukraine win.

Stop the count! 🙈
Allerdings ist das Ding noch nicht in trockenen Tüchern. Die CDU hat, glaube ich mich zu erinnern, auch bei der letzten Wahl hinten raus mehr zugelegt.
Wow, phänomenales Ergebnis für die Grünen und Cem Özdemir!
Allerdings auch nicht ganz überraschend nach dem Momentum der letzten Wochen.
Und 17,7 Prozent für die AfD in einem westdeutschen Land ist schon alarmierend/schockierend.
"US Treasuries are losing their status as the world’s go-to asset in times of crisis — the result, investors say, of erratic geopolitical and economic policy and the erosion of institutions under Trump."

Alles war früher besser:
Wohnfläche pro Person:
1960er: ca. 23 m²
1970er: ca. 26 m²
1990er: ca. 37 m²
Heute: ca. 49 m²
Und ja, unterschiedliche Quellen und Berechnungsmethoden machen vergleiche manchmal schwer, aber es ist Fakt, dass Leute heute wesentlich mehr Wohnfläche haben.
Most policy makers wouldn't design such legislation in the first place.
Right-wing extremism is actual the original cancel-culture.
Wokism is actually just a way to cancel right-wing cancel-culture.
