Many Americans need to stop pretending but the culture is flawed.
If you question whether your boss is doing the right thing including say, is corrupt, you are fired & out on your ass same day, struggling to make your monthly payments.
As you know, this can’t happen in places like Australia.

Just as USA China discussions didn’t discuss the chip position in detail, it didn’t discuss China’s ban on rare earths for military use either. There has been zero progress on this because China is not stupid & won’t revise materials for weapons to use against them.

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.
A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.
U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

The accounts of Sportsbet are a hot mess. An independent analysis finds multiple breaches of accounting standards, ergo the laws of Australia.
