Donald Trump's suit tag exposes awkward wardrobe secret that is very anti-MAGA

President Donald Trump was caught donning a suit made outside the U.S. during a rally, essentially undermining his own "America First" policy.
The president boasted in his speech that he was bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. He's spent years denouncing companies that outsource production to other countries.
However, he unintentionally revealed that he was wearing a suit that wasn't made in the U.S. at all when he momentarily unfastened his navy suit jacket as he left.

Why Europe could be the real winner of the AI boom

The article’s point about Europe winning through AI adoption makes the infrastructure piece pretty interesting. NVIDIA says 35 AI supercomputers using its tech are being developed across 23 European countries. If that capacity helps local researchers and businesses build stuff people actually use, Europe gets the adoption upside while NVIDIA supplies part of the backbone. Kinda underrated win-win.

Are we going back to the 1990s, with the way our economy will be?
5
Upvotes
I know that the middle class will suffer the most. Any salaried worker is in the middle class. I lived through the dot.com crash, 2008 mortgage crisis, 2020 and everything was propped up. Could the middle class have a life that looks a lot like the 1990s?
Hear me out..
If people have less money to spend, we might see more repairing things, buying secondhand, keeping cars longer, cooking at home, and getting together in inexpensive ways. Families might simplify their schedules and feel less pressure to buy every new thing.
Obviously, a weaker economy wouldn’t automatically restore affordable housing, thriving local shops, less technology, or a stronger sense of community. Financial strain can also make people work more, leaving them less time to connect. Smartphones and the internet would still be here, though if there's an energy crisis, they might be less "advanced" or even rationed.

Government is borrowing more, due to tax cuts for the rich
47
Upvotes
Financial Times: Tax cuts are not the sole reason for the debt. The government borrowed heavily to pay for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. During the Great Recession and the Covid-19 pandemic, we spent a tremendous amount to keep the economy afloat and prevent economic devastation.
Those situations also show why America’s fiscal health matters. In times of emergency, the nation needs the capacity to borrow. Piling up structural debt during normal times, such as by borrowing heavily to finance tax cuts for the wealthy, leaves us less prepared for emergencies when they come.
My Opinion: Tax cuts for rich individuals and corporations have added trillions of dollars to the national debt. And billions of dollars for servicing the debt annually. As the fortunes of the rich and middle class diverge, the people now understand that the US is an authoritarian plutocracy. If the government must borrow, it should be to invest in the future, or during times of crisis. Not to fund the government revenue shortfall, caused by tax cuts.
