    .. E. coli or listeria every week .. There has been a barrage of bad
    news about food lately.. People died .. There has been a food recall
    nearly every day ..

    <https://shorturl.at/Obvjn> pirg.org

    Food recalls flooded the headlines in 2024, with a new, scary
    announcement surfacing every couple of weeks at times. It created the
    aura of a sudden change in the safety of our food ..

    <https://shorturl.at/zye8e> thenewlede.org

    Illnesses and deaths from food outbreaks skyrocketed in 2024 ..

    ...

    Most of those experts serve corruption within the American regulatory
    system, and neglecting sanitary rules allows to significantly increase
    profits in the food industry, and this interest decides everything.
    In this field, Europe-style "socialist" regulations seem preferabler.
    Given the American popular foods are known to be oftenly contaminated
    with e. coli, ie. feces, calling Americans shit eaters would be not an
    insult but rather a statement of fact.

    Btw, eating feces does not necessarily lead to a serious illness, and consequences may be seen non-immediately. THere was in the recent news,
    one American progressive rock singer demonstratively ate shit right at
    the scene <https://is.gd/vbKyqu>. It looks like an artistic reflection
    on the food situation in the U.S.

    Democrats tricked strong economy ..
    Voters Were Right About the Economy.
    The Data Was Wrong ..

    Before the presidential election, many Democrats were puzzled by the
    seeming disconnect between "economic reality" as reflected in various government statistics and the public's perceptions of the economy on
    the ground. Many in Washington bristled at the public's failure to
    register how strong the economy *really* was .. What we uncovered
    shocked us. The bottom line is that, for 20 years or more, including
    the months prior to the election, voter perception was more reflective
    of reality than the incumbent statistics .. They paint a much rosier
    picture of reality than bears out on the ground ..

    ...

    Skeptical independent observers have long noticed it. This applies not
    only to the American domestic indicators. In a broader sense, various Atlanticist-backed ratings/rankings related to misc global indicators
    in many cases are in visible contradiction with what many people could
    notice with their own eyes. I.e. it means an abuse of wishful thinking
    as a substitute for reality. But - sooner or later - a hangover should
    still happen.

    For years, I've waited for some honesty about economic data. The official numbers have not made sense. The labor numbers were all over the map with growing disparities between data-collecting methods. The output numbers
    did not fit with on-the-ground realities. The price numbers from government
    did not reflect sources from private industry .. The last five years has convinced me and multitudes of others that official claims and numbers
    simply cannot be trusted ..

    .. The truth is suddenly coming out. A former comptroller of the currency, Eugene Ludwig, has written an astonishing article for Politico, of all
    places. He throws cold water on every major data source we have .. This is
    the sort of article that causes one to want to scream: Now you tell us!
    I'm guessing that we are going to get more truth now that Trump is in
    charge but it is not a truth we want to hear .. The numbers have become so politicized as to be nearly useless ..

    LOL, you won't hear any bad news coming from the Trump administration
    -- unless it's bad news about the previous administration. They've made
    certain of that by just firing a lot of inspectors and other overseers
    and putting their own propagandists in their place.

    the mass media serving them were unrivaled in this.

    Politico released an analysis on Tuesday: "How Democrats were tricked
    into believing the economy was strong." .. But as it turns out, it
    was Politico itself (and dozens of other propaganda outlets) that was
    "conning" the American people into believing the economy was
    prosperous .. That's what a propaganda press does. But while Democrats

    The United States of America .. has been facing a steady decline
    in its economic, political, and cultural influence over the past
    few decades ..

    Several key factors have contributed to this decline ..

    The middle class, once the backbone of American prosperity, has
    been shrinking, while the top 1% control an ever-growing share of
    the nation's wealth ..

    The rise of China as an economic and military power, coupled with
    Russia's resurgence and the growing influence of regional powers
    like India and Brazil, has diminished America's ability ..

    The U.S. political system has become increasingly dysfunctional ..

    The unifying ideals of the "American Dream" have been undermined ..

    Donald Trump's .. slogan, "Make America Great Again" (MAGA),
    resonated with millions of Americans who felt left behind by
    globalization and disillusioned by the political establishment ..



    <https://shorturl.at/gdqkm>
    America is facing financial ruin .. US democracy is fundamentally
    broken .. Congress is incompetent ..

    Palantir CEO Alex Karp has warned that the Democratic Party is
    "committing suicide" over its refusal to engage with "real-world
    concerns".

    In a recent interview with CNBC, the outspoken CEO argued that
    the party's unwillingness to acknowledge fundamental issues ..
    mirrors a broader crisis of legitimacy across Western institutions.
    "The Democratic Party is committing suicide," Karp said. "It's
    because we're not allowed to admit the truth. We literally have to
    say that anything ever uttered by the opposition must be wrong ..
    This self-imposed blindness is leading to collapse." ..

    ...

    The mainstream pro-Dems camp has become in fact a religious-like
    cult, which explains why they seek to cancel / demonize those who
    are somehow dissidental (at home or adroad). It aggravates with
    the fact that many followers of the cult in America are ignorant
    (see below). So it is starting to look like a crowd of bigots.
    And right-wing bigotry also exists. Primitivization of everything
    contributes to American decline.

    .. Report reveals national debt crisis grew much worse under Biden

    Without significant changes, the United States will face
    unprecedented budget challenges over the next decade, difficulties
    that could cause a large economic crisis .. The Biden administration
    and the Congresses of the Biden era had a tremendously negative
    effect on the national debt ..

    ...

    A big borrower may feel well so long as a minor lender believes his
    or her investment is safe, which, in turn, includes also his or her
    belief that other lenders believe their investments are safe.

    If there's no big enough shocks then the borrower may feel well even
    if the debt is growing so large that it becomes surely impossible to
    pay it off in full.

    However, the larger the amount of debt, the more likely it is that a
    sudden irregular shock can cause a catastrophic outcome (chain
    reaction, domino effect). If it happens, then the American decline
    may turn from a gradual decline to an avalanche-like crash. There
    were many talks about the American debt before, but nothing terrible
    happened so far, but as the debt grows further, the ice becomes
    thinner, risks become higher, and sane lenders can realize the risks.

    Besides, the duty to pay ever-growing interest becomes more and more
    burdensome and at the same time it aggravates the necessity to borrow
    more, and sane lenders can take it into account as well.

    The pursuit for efficiency (DOGE and the like) is quite a right move,
    if it's not too late. It will surely make some Americans poorer. It's
    necessary in order to avert even worse prospects.

    American tourists are growing fearful of flying as Federal Aviation Administration layoffs and fatal plane crashes in twenty twenty five
    raise serious safety concerns.

    A shocking decline in Americans' confidence in aviation has emerged
    in 2025, following a string of deadly plane crashes across the United
    States .. This shift reflects growing public anxiety about the
    aviation industry's safety, especially as concerns over pilot

    continue to rise .. Diminishing confidence in pilots and the federal government's ability to maintain air travel safety ..

    Pfffft.

    In 2024, the U.S. saw the largest spike in homelessness since the
    federal government began regularly collecting data in 2007. This
    wasn't a fluke. U.S. homelessness has been on a steep and steady
    climb - and immigration is largely responsible. U.S. homelessness
    hit record highs in both 2023 and 2024 ..

    No. It is because private equity is buying up homes and the prices are
    going out of reach for many. On top of that, services are being bought up and money is being squeezed out of them by the buyers.

    There's a nice book about this:

    https://www.amazon.com/Plunder-Private-Equitys-Pillage-America/dp/1541702107

    Plunder: Private Equity's Plan to Pillage America

    The authoritative exposé of private equity: what it is, how it kills
    businesses and jobs, how the government helps, and how we stop it

    Private equity surrounds us. Firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, and KKR are
    among the largest employers in America and hold assets that rival those of
    small countries. Yet few understand what these firms are or how they work.

    In Plunder, Brendan Ballou explains how private equity has reshaped
    American business by raising prices, reducing quality, cutting jobs, and
    shifting resources from productive to unproductive parts of the economy.
    Ballou vividly illustrates how many private equity firms buy up retailers,
    medical practices, prison services, nursing-home chains, and mobile-home
    parks, among other businesses, using little of their own money to do it and
    avoiding debt and liability for their actions. Forced to take on huge debts
    and pay extractive fees, companies purchased by private equity firms are
    often left bankrupt, or shells of their former selves, with consequences to
    communities that long depended on them.

    Perhaps most startling is Ballou’s insight into how this is happening with
    the active support of various arms of the government.

    No. It is because private equity is buying up homes and the prices are
    going out of reach for many. On top of that, services are being bought up and money is being squeezed out of them by the buyers.

    There's a nice book about this:

    https://www.amazon.com/Plunder-Private-Equitys-Pillage-America/dp/1541702107

    Plunder: Private Equity's Plan to Pillage America

    The authoritative exposé of private equity: what it is, how it kills
    businesses and jobs, how the government helps, and how we stop it

    Private equity surrounds us. Firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, and KKR are
    among the largest employers in America and hold assets that rival those of
    small countries. Yet few understand what these firms are or how they work.

    In Plunder, Brendan Ballou explains how private equity has reshaped
    American business by raising prices, reducing quality, cutting jobs, and
    shifting resources from productive to unproductive parts of the economy.
    Ballou vividly illustrates how many private equity firms buy up retailers,
    medical practices, prison services, nursing-home chains, and mobile-home
    parks, among other businesses, using little of their own money to do it and
    avoiding debt and liability for their actions. Forced to take on huge debts
    and pay extractive fees, companies purchased by private equity firms are

    Despite your usual idiotic supercilious tone, you are correct on this one.
    Take a look at virtually any investment site and they are recommending
    real estate investments backed by private equity firms.
    My advice is stay away because it is all going to crash at some point.
    Real estate at this point is highly overpriced.
