I dont like the guy, but clearly it is an issue according to this MSN interview. So if he can figure it out I’d like that he did, so that the corporation causing it is held to account. Or what, do we just wait until a democrat is the one to do the same thing?

RFK is also talking about the obesity epidemic, specifically tying it to our food quality that many large donors really dont want to hear. I think some of these things seem sane, and I’m glad the republicans are starting to appreciate these ideologies.

He did run on finding the increased cause of autism in the youth. He said it was likely environmental toxins from corporations.

So if hes right and hes not looking to murder people then we get statistics on where its occuring, and he would track it down like we did lead and things like that.

Which there doesnt seem to be a counter-point to what hes doing, heres MSNBC who obviously hates Trump, and as she says theres not been clear answers yet. Which maybe with the data he is gathering there will be some insights:

Well I think a big issue with that is monetary policy. Which bids up the price of goods using debt, as everything becomes financialized. It used to be a mortgage had a real physical cost as a lump of gold moved around, now its just numbers in a computer created out of the ether, and this bids up the cost of living in order to derive what we call economic growth. A transfer from the young to the old essentially.

The 2% inflation we attempt to achieve is after hedonic adjustments, substitutions, and investments are taken out, and so the money supply grows at 10% a year as people are clinging by the skin of their teeth to eek out more aggregate demand to attempt to infinitely grow an economy.

The 2% inflation was decided in the 90s with no real logic put forth as to where it would lead, and its obviously lead to huge bubbles and asset inequality as people try to profit off the first mover advantage of their debt being debased, as the CPI was progressively modified to loosen the money supply to promote more economic growth over time.

In the late 80’s they removed housing appreciation from the CPI for instance, and what do you expect that did to home prices? They did that to fix another problem with the CPI, which was that raising interest rates raised inflation during Volcker, making it a feedback loop that lead to the double digit increase in rates. So it was already broken and it was then patched like it was a car held together with duct tape.

I’d always assumed they gave them a salary as well. Thats what I have at my job.

You’re very cool too. I too wish I lived in a black and white world of heroes versus villains with no nuance or deeper thought.

Calls to violence you mean?

You want a circlejerk with no barriers, whereas I wish we could discuss the reasons why hes putting in tariffs and cutting spending. Project 2025 versus ETS2 for instance, or the fact China is buying fewer and fewer treasuries every year; leading to higher borrowing costs on leveraged economies globally as money is sucked into the US, to fund the spending they also cant afford.

Even the global demographics look bleak given the amount of debt we’ve taken on, and people are still living in an MMT fantasyland as they roll over their mortgages from 2% to 6%.

I am just stating what I think is happening, and what their plans seem to be. Trump has denounced the project 2025 plan, but its from the heritage foundation and yet it talks about implementing a border wall, so its pretty obvious that it is Trumps plan given the absurd ridiculousness of a border wall. It also lines up with what he is doing, Musk and John Kennedy made speeches recently that all countries should remove all barriers to the US if they want the tariffs taken off themselves.

Europe meanwhile has a full policy listed, where they say they will tariff foreign emitters, and then create a “social climate fund” for social goals. As they rush in a CBDC for October to push expiring stimulus and inflation quotas in the guise of carbon quotas to control monetary policy. Canada’s PM has already said they intend on signing onto this foreign emitter tariff system as well, and I’m sure other countries will be too.

Maybe you can explain where I am misreading or misunderstanding the situation, I find it interesting and would love additional insight into whats happening globally, we are clearly in an era of upheaval.

As far as I’ve read Europe wants a global carbon credit system that they are rolling out, while Trump is pushing to erode barriers to trade including eroding those climate tariffs. Everyone is now competing in a changing world order where debt is more expensive, due to aging global demographics, and China and Saudi Arabia no longer recycling their profits into US treasuries. Trumps plan seems to be following Milton Friedmans ideology of free trade, low regulation, and stable money supply growth, while the EU attempts to financially repress their citizens via carbon tariffs in order to perform economic central planning.
