AB: This is a great commentary by Robert Reich. First off, I have an issue with the gain of 162,000 jobs being added. I seems to be too much of an increase. I was expecting more like 20 or 30,000.

I’m no expert on fascism or Ukraine, but based on everything I’ve read so far, the claim the Ukraine is a fascist state is pure Putin propaganda.

Next Thursday is the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death. I don’t know that I ever encountered any Charlie Kirk videos. His reputation was so repugnant, I had no more curiosity to see him as I have to read Mein Kampf. “In one 2023 tweet, Kirk managed to simultaneously defend South Africa’s apartheid regime, the […]

As The Real Economy Blog’s Josepeh Brusuelas and David Carter write, the United States is just a few days off of a national shortage which may or will have an impact on the nation greater than what we are experiencing now.
