...and what the opening line of an article (#931126)
Civilisations are not murdered, said the historian Arnold Toynbee. They die from suicide.
And apparently it's all Trump's fault (no recognition of the money printing overhang or mayhem of the last four year... indeed twenty-four years of disastrous monetary and fiscal policy + warmongering excesses):
Donald Trump was sworn in ten weeks ago. He inherited an economy with stable inflation and dropping interest rates but with growth still projected to outstrip any big competitor this year. With each fresh Trump salvo on the global economy, US growth forecasts are cut.... This would be a recession of choice; Trump’s choice.
Wow is that a disingenuous conclusion LOL. Next hyperbole:
On many fronts, and with deliberate haste, America is vaporising its soft power. It takes less than a quarter to besmirch a brand that took a quarter of a millennium to build.
Man, I'm not impressed by the idiot takes that the FT (and Mr. Luce, #875741) have published lately (#907759). It's like they're becoming a propaganda tool for Big gov/warmongering Democratic voices.
Man, I can't wait for the intelligentsia to lose its relevance
