Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."
From: Thomas Jr., Landon Sent: 9/27/2017 2:47:47 PM To: Subject: Got another call from Connelly.. Importance: High Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com] He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too. Anyway, for what its worth...

This exact same reporter was ousted from the NY Times for soliciting a $30,000 donation from Epstein— and you're telling me that as an employer, the NY Times never bothered to circle back and review this person's correspondence with a convicted pedophile?
A former New York Times staffer quietly left the paper after revealing he had solicited charitable donations from Jeffrey Epstein
Former New York Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr. told his editors he became friends with Epstein after profiling him in 2008, NPR reported Thursday.

US investors will miss out on the renewable energy boom and most likely the profitable side of robotics. We gave up our prosperity because we are a stupid racist country. The rest of the world sees our folly and will move on without us.

By the time this trade War is Over China will rule the world economy. We handed it to them on a silver platter. The history books will talk about how we ruled the world economy but dumbed ourselves to death.

If America wants to stay ahead of China, we have to re-engage with the world — trade more, invest more, and welcome top talent. Closing doors is not a winning strategy.

If we as a society had spent our money developing robots instead of developing CEO's wealth we might have a cool robot like that too.

Instead we get a racist man baby that puts a man in a robot suit and destroys our federal government for fun.

#Xpeng shares surged 15% in HK today—highest in 8 months!

Blame it on the buzz around their next-gen IRON #humanoidrobot ?

It struts so realistically, netizens swore it was a real woman in disguise. CEO unzipped it on video to prove it's A BOT.

Future just got scarier?

Some people will take profit fearing that the tax cuts in the big beautiful bill will disappear if tariffs are knocked down. The tax cuts are a sure thing this year but not as sure next year and definitely not sure the next looking at the government's financial situation.

Household debt hit a record $18.6T as Americans lean on credit to stay afloat in a high-cost economy. Credit cards and student loans are at new highs and younger borrowers are falling behind. My take is that growth is now financed by strain, not strength. #econsky

Look. I know there are nice Christian people.
The issue, is that the religion has resulted in such awful people going back generation after generation for millennia.

It can’t just be the people. The idea itself must be flawed.

The religion that breeds hate cannot be good.

The US CBO is out with estimates for how much the shutdown will hit real GDP:

If it lasts 6 weeks, 4Q25's growth rate will be lower by 1.5 percentage points (annualized) ... if it lasts 8 weeks, growth will be lower by 2 percentage points #EconSky

VITAL KNOWLEDGE considers an "upside case", in which most tariffs are gone:

".. while Corporate America might welcome the removal of import taxes, Treasuries could lament the absence of tariff revenue, which would place upward pressure on yields. So, stocks need to be careful what they wish for .."

This month's Dallas Fed Manufacturing survey comments. Also interesting special question on access to financing.
www.dallasfed.org/research/sur...
Beverage and tobacco product manufacturing Overall uncertainty about the strength of the economy is our largest concern. We believe the risk of a recession has increased, although it is hard to quantify. Lower economic opportunities, especially for younger people, is putting downward pressure on our future sales. Computer and electronic product manufacturing We are considering closing our company at the end of the year and filing for bankruptcy. We have had a huge drop in sales, and I think it's due to the loss of government funding. I don't think I can recover the company from it. Fabricated metal product manufacturing Our sales outlook is slightly down for 2026. Customers are delaying projects to 2026, and requests for quotes have decreased. Our customers want to buy, but they lack cash on hand. Multiple competitor closures are funneling demand, but our customers lack liquidity to fund required deposits and interim payments. Furniture and related product manufacturing There’s a slowdown of commercial construction bid requests. Machinery manufacturing Sales have been strong and steady over the past few months. We hope this trend continues. The free market is prevailing despite the central planners' well-intentioned but misguided tariff policies. Up and down, back and forth. We are thankful for the work, but the waves continue. We expect some gain as well as some loss going forward in 2026 and through the remainder of the current year. We do believe the good will outweigh the bad overall. The DFW area continues to thrive, Texas remains a good place to do business, and the U.S. remains favorable for business as opposed to many world markets. We're thankful we are where we are─geographically and economically. Miscellaneous manufacturing Tariffs. We manufacture in the U.S., but input materials come from China. We don't have $600 million to get relief from tariffs like some companies do. Paper manufacturing Business is steady at very slow; no uptick in sight at this tim… Primary metal manufacturing We suspect other countries, including Mexico, Vietnam and Cambodia are cheating and not paying full Section 232 tariffs on aluminum-extruded products coming into the U.S. This has been reported to the Commerce Department. They are producing two invoices, one for the raw aluminum and another for the other portions of their prices resulting in not paying the full Section 232. If this is allowed to continue our industry will lose jobs and shutter equipment. Most of the foreign countries are subsidizing exports to the U.S. to the detriment of our industry. Printing and related support activities We have gotten very slow and we worry about the general state of our industry. We have a few large jobs that are keeping people busy in the plant, but soon if things don't change there will need to be some significant reduction in hours worked on the plant floor. There is just not much going on right now, and we believe it’s all tied to the chaos and uncertainty coming from Washington. We are hearing about significant price increases on materials coming soon due to the effect of tariffs. Tariff costs (a tax) are having an impact of slowing down economic activity in all sectors. It’s all to do with economic uncertainty. Textile product mills We are very unsure of how the holiday season will play out. Input prices continue to increase as duties and tariffs take effect and remain in place. We are unsure of demand, and we will also need to increase our prices due to rising costs. Transportation equipment manufacturing The interest rate reduction is positive. There’s a need to improve the government shutdown and trade turmoil, and the outlook would be very promising. Continued volatility with import tariffs and interest rates continue to stifle the trucking market. Trucking companies continue to struggle, and there is a regular cadence of bankruptcies being reported. Business is up, yet we are also affected by the government shutdown in our ability to wor… 1. To what extent is your business having difficulty obtaining financing for desired short-term uses such as paying workers and acquiring inventories of material or supplies? Fifteen percent of responding Texas businesses say they are having at least some difficulty accessing short-term credit, largely unchanged from a year ago. The share is down from a peak of 20 percent in April 2023 but above the pre-pandemic results in 2018-19. Chart 1 Downloadable chart Chart data
