Panem et circenses
@apeman122000.bsky.social
Worked Capital Markets trading desks for 25 years. Ran a small company and now teach accounting in college. Just trying to make sense of it all. Can’t we all just get along? Does it seem like we are in the “bread and circus” phase of the Roman Empire?
Mississippi?

Don’t they have a lynching problem to handle?

And then…

Whose fault is this? I ask you. Who needs a 4am knock knock from the cops?

For those that care about facts, the attached chart shows the size of the Canadian Federal Government as percent of the total population. Yes it it tracking higher, but it is by no means out of control.

You’d need $10 trillion in real world Savings to generate a $5,000 check. That is never going to happen.

By the way, the proportional size of the federal government has shrunk steadily since WWII.

There is already a security agreement in place. Ukraine signed it with the US in 1994 as an agreement to denuclearize. Why would they sign another, if the US won’t recognize the first?

It sure why this was on Threads and not here.

There is already an agreement in place, which the US signed, to provide security guarantees in exchange for denuclearizing. It was signed in 1984 and is called the Budapest Memorandum.
Why would they sign another if the uS won’t honour the first one?

It’ll never happen. They simply don’t have the time -or
Money - to create the capacity.

In the mean time, tariffs just make everything made of metal 10-25% more expensive.

Maybe we need a pop-up colouring book for Trump to explain Tariffs. I tried this.

Use this to try to explain tariffs.
