DEREK: The rest of the world likes having instant liquidity, and they won't take on these changes for free. They need an incentive to change. Tariffs are the incentive.

This guy gets it.

We want our lives back. And everyone who thought they were going to keep sucking on that cash cow forever are waking up to the new reality.

There are absolutely geopolitical aspects to what Trump and the economic team are doing, but I think people sometimes get so hung up on that as to forget... it really is about the trade. The trading system before Trump 2.0 was fundamentally exploitative of America. It was literally built to siphon off the funds of America and to send those dollars overseas. People told you that wasn't happening because those countries had to invest back in the United States, but the devil is in the details. They weren't INVESTING in the United States. They were taking on US treasuries in exchange for the goods they sent to the US. No US business ever saw that money. That is what's going to change. The US is probably still going to run trade deficits to some degree, especially with certain countries. We are actually built to handle trade deficits uniquely well. That's the grain of truth upon which the empire of lies was built. But those trade deficits should be invested into American businesses. Not sitting around as promissory notes from the Fed. Not serving as instant liquidity for the rest of the world. The rest of the world likes having instant liquidity, and they won't take on these changes for free. They need an incentive to change. Tariffs are the incentive.

CHRISTIANITY & THE WEST HAS FALLEN: Over 20 British police officers, some of them wearing hijabs, arrested two 90 year old women. The British police are making world laugh.

Not laughing, tho. https://t.co/dB9J9taVU2

You might need some reminders who your Christian warriors are.

I just researched this and it’s true

You know how Gavin Newsom is shutting the water off for farmers right now, that water isn’t going to some environmental agriculture project. IT’S BEING DUMPED BACK INTO THE OCEAN

NINA TEICHOLZ, PhD: A pound of grain provokes obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and provides very little nutrient of any kind of value. A pound of meat provides all the nutrients that you need for life and promotes good health

Why has meat been demonized while oatmeal revered as heart healthy? Even "properly prepared" oats don't compare to the nourishment meat will provide.

Why do you think that red meat has been vilified in the public conversation for so long?

Ooh!  That is a complicated one.  So we already talked about the various forces that are acting on nutrition science, and I think these come to all to bear on meat. The belief that meat consumes too many of the Earth's resources that really goes back to the 1960s and 70s.  There was a book called, Diet for a Small Planet by Francis Moore Lappe, 1971, that made the argument, "a pound of meat cost much more in terms of the Earth's resources than a pound of grain."  So what is the flaw in that argument?  A pound of grain provokes obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and provides very little nutrient of any kind of value.  A pound of meat provides all the nutrients that you need for life and promotes good health.
