QUESTION: It seems that the Democratic Party is turning really socialist. The DNC Chair Tom Perez said the Socialist Ocasio-Cortez is the “future of our party” and it seems they just ignore the socialist path in places like France which you pointed out their stock market peaked back in 2000 and has not participated in the […]
In Switzerland, we get to see how people who are really clueless about how the economy works still manage to get outrageous referendums on the ballot. A radical plan to transform Switzerland’s financial landscape was rejected, thank God, which would have barred commercial banks from electronically creating money when they lend. These people have no idea what […]

There are already companies starting to migrate from Silicon Valley to Texas. The migration has begun. More and more Tech firms are […]
The blowout numbers on job creation in the United States economy demonstrates that the USA is indeed holding up the world right now. The U.S labor market in May came in with Non-farm payrolls up 223,000. The unemployment rate now matches April 2000 as the lowest since 1969 coming in at 3.8%. You really have […]
