The U.S. M0 money supply saw a massive increase from 2019, driven by Federal Reserve quantitative easing. Since early 2020, nearly 30% of the total money supply was created, peaking as the Fed pumped liquidity to support the economy.
2019 prices? NO.
Russian embassies in Europe should be closed down. Everything can go through the one in Bern

Freedom of movement is still a red line to the public
1. he goes
2. some mug replaces him
3. media start banging on about lack of a presidential mandate that isn't a thing in the UK
4. new PM has fresh elections at worst possible time
the main reason Trump ran again was to stay out of prison, and the main reason the GOP candidate in 2028 would be Donald Trump JUNIOR is because his son is the only person Trump feels he can trust to pardon him for all his crimes. He doesn't even trust Vance to pardon him.
He could do that now, but boomers vote and they would all hate it. What they want is not what everyone else needs.
that's why the rest of the country calls London and Westminster "bubbles"
but that would mean the govt facing up to the dating crisis. They'd need to adopt Ali G's immigration policy.
there are lots of... let's call them stakeholders, here: taxpayers, public sector employees, benefit claimants and civil servants. If the govt isn't willing to defy and piss off the last, most obedient group, it can't govern at all.
Mining the strait and attacking ships. Iran seems to have decided to inflict maximum pain on US voters to peak on the date, at a rough guess, Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
Perfect to see Trump removed by Congress, which must be what Iran wants.
and the ones from Poland? France?
Everyone lost, really, except Russia and China.
The Labour party just can't help themselves. The Tories were just political hipsters with their "new PM every week" trend, and Labour just can't help but follow the fashion.
Voters increasingly see Prime Ministers who didn't win an election as illegitimate, so Farage could be PM by autumn.
Trying to imagine going back in time to the version of myself reading Drudge report during the Clinton impeachment to explain this.
the US has not made them look like the good guys, just the relatively competent guys.
how in the hell did we manage to turn the government which murdered Mehsa Amini and killed upwards of 30,000 protesters earlier this year into the good guys?
Presumably his method to "win" Vietnam was to nuke Beijing and Hanoi
I don't want to kill anyone in Iran. BUT
The anti-war contingent has a scary % of people who seem to be de facto on board with the Iran tollbooth, or never opening the strait again, but who are also happy to see Arabs drive the Jews into the see and disestablish Israel. It undermines the case.
The post-AI-bubble regulation should start by making it illegal to do circular deals - money invested cannot be used to pay for services, money invested cannot be used for buying hardware, etc, etc. Hell, I'm game for making it illegal to invest in customers at all.

Tonight, Virginians refused to let Trump play games with Americans’ right to fair representation. Thanks to Virginia voters, Governor Spanberger, and Democrats in the VA state legislature, Republicans can’t cheat their way out of accountability in 2026.
Another self-important and emotional reaction from the Oxbridge Remainer snobs in the Civil Service. Showing again why Reform will have to sack about 60% of them on day one. #ReformUK www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
The strait will stay shut and ships coming in to California are about to stop.
they have plenty of JDAMS. the longer the ceasefire lasts, the more likely they will need tomahawks all over again to deal with the new air defence system China just sold them. US HAD air superiority weeks ago. It's now losing it.
This is mad. Iran believes he'll carpet bomb them like next week, but the stock market believes he will never bomb them.
