05/26/2025

America's industrial strength, it's industrial base, is one of the four pillars of America's leadership of the Free World. Without it the Free World will fall apart. The other pillars are it's education and it's health care. Underfunding of education with declining enrolment of men in college and lack of factory jobs comes with loss of the industrial base for taxes, taxes avoided by Apple and other companies.

Why cost of living is destroying the social compact in the US and Europe and upending governments in 2024-2025

02/24/2025

There are cases of young people not able to pay soaring repair costs quitting work without transport. This is why there was so much discontent in 2024 after supply shocks and price gouging pushed up prices in 2024. Another factor evident in airline ticket pricing was demand and the excess income of the top 20 percent. In housing and apartment rentals supply shortages pushed up prices, demand and excess income of the top 20-30 percent pushed up prices beyond the reach of the rest, higher interest rates made it unaffordable to buy a home for most Americans.
