The reason Trump has slapped tariffs on the entire world is not to protect American workers.

What Trump cares about is being able to get concessions out of other countries and corporations that seek exemptions.

It's all about his ability to hand out punishments and rewards.

On comprend un peu mieux la réticence des médias à nommer le génocide. Y a du gros cash en jeu. Et ils ne peuvent pas dire qu'ils ne le savaient puisqu'ils ont multiplié les investissements depuis le fameux 7 octobre 2023.

Trump's mishandling of the economy during his first 100 days shouldn't surprise anyone. He doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every business he ever touched. Watch. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?si=tmQLdtdCWpVAWW-r

Today, U.S. Department of Education will resume collecting on defaulted student loans.

It sounds hard to believe, but college used to be free.

This is the real story behind skyrocketing student debt. (Spoiler: It has a lot to do with Ronald Reagan)

Lecture très intéressante sur le patrimonialisme qui s’installe aux États-Unis.

Thanks to the UAW's strike, nearly 48,000 GM workers will receive profit-sharing payouts of up to $14,500 from the company

Profit-sharing is an old idea that emerged in 1916, when many companies actually shared their success with their workers.

The collective net worth of America's 813 billionaires hit a staggering $6.72 TRILLION at the end of 2024.

The bottom 50% of Americans hold $3.7T in wealth.

Once again: It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

At this point, just 813 U.S. billionaires hold a combined $6.7 trillion in wealth while 15 of them each have over $100 billion for a combined wealth over $2.4 trillion.

The stock prices of GEO Group and CoreCivic — America's largest private prison and detention center operators — have skyrocketed since Trump's victory.

Why?

Because the border-industrial complex stands to profit handsomely from Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.
