@Economicopoly @USTreasury Well, it can't break by breaking the US debt markets. Cause that would be an armageddon. So, instead, the Treasury will break the backs of American households - via debasement of currency & extortionate pricing of debt. Long decline. #USDebt #Economy #Inflation #US

"The sense of economic decline that drives support for the far-right is real. But it is not caused by migrants. It is caused by the greed of capital." @graceblakeley is right. As I argue in ANTI FASCIST ECONOMICS, that's why only an economics of essentials can turn the tide. #EconomicsOfEssentials #AntiFascist #CapitalGreed #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

AFRICA DAILY REPORT — 20 SEPTEMBER 2026 Key developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. MALI — JNIM attack on Dioura army camp emerges as one of the conflict’s deadliest — 10/10 (Critical) The al-Qaeda-linked JNIM released video of soldiers it says it captured in the September 10 assault on the Dioura army camp.

DR CONGO — Ebola outbreak remains severe despite signs of progress Importance: 10/10 — Critical The UN says there are encouraging signs in the fight against the Ebola outbreak, but it is still too early to declare that the epidemic has peaked. More than 7,200 confirmed cases and 3,510 deaths have been recorded across seven provinces. Daily infections have declined from around 120 at the mid-August peak to roughly 80, but North Kivu remains particularly alarming, with 555 new cases reported there in the past 21 days.

"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" - Gloria Steinem … but women do need a handyman - and nothing else. “Wanted: Husband, Preferably With a Toolbox” Latvia has one of Europe’s most remarkable gender imbalances. Women constitute about 54% of the population—roughly 116 women for every 100 men. And this is not primarily a story about fewer boys being born. It is a story about men dying earlier. In 2025, life expectancy at birth was approximately 72.3 years for Latvian men, compared with 81.0 years for women. Latvia therefore has one of the largest male-female life-expectancy gaps in the OECD. Among the elderly, the consequences are striking: women dramatically outnumber men, leaving many older women living without a male partner. This produces an intriguing—and slightly ironic—market response. Latvia has businesses advertised as “husband for an hour”, providing plumbing, electrical work, repairs, furniture assembly and other household services traditionally associated with the male partner. There is no solid evidence that Latvia’s gender imbalance caused these businesses to become popular, so the connection should not be presented as established fact. But the phenomenon illustrates a much bigger point. Demography is not just about population pyramids and government statistics. It changes the structure of everyday life—and eventually the economy. Latvia is simultaneously experiencing low fertility, population ageing, high male mortality and long-term population decline. In 2025, only about 11,900 children were born while more than 26,000 people died. Migration adds further pressure. The “husband for an hour” may therefore be more than an amusing curiosity. It could be a small, almost comical symptom of a much more serious transformation: when demographic structures change, markets adapt. And sometimes the first sign of a demographic crisis is not found in a government report—but in the services people suddenly find themselves needing to buy.

When Emotion Takes the Reins A remarkable study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciencesexamined millions of books covering almost 170 years and tracked language associated with rationality—facts, conclusions, analysis and determination—against language associated with sentiment—feeling, belief and emotion. The pattern was striking. From roughly 1850 to 1980, rationality-related language steadily increased while sentiment-related language declined. Then the trend reversed. By around 2007, sentiment-related language had overtaken rationality-related language and continued rising (Scheffer et al., 2021). This does not prove that people have become less rational, nor does the study establish a single cause. But it raises an important question: what happens when trust in the institutions associated with knowledge and expertise begins to collapse? If people believe governments, experts, universities and media are corrupt or captured, “look at the data” can sound less like an appeal to reason and more like an appeal to authority. And when institutional trust declines, emotion becomes politically powerful. Anger supplies an enemy. Fear supplies urgency. Hope supplies a future. Identity supplies belonging. Could this help explain why socialism and even communism have regained some appeal among young people despite the historical record? The study cannot establish that causal link. But it is a plausible hypothesis: when politics becomes increasingly emotional, an ideology can be judged by what it promises rather than by what it has historically produced. Benjamin Franklin captured the necessary balance: “If passion drives, let reason hold the reins.” Passion is not the enemy. It is the engine of human action. The danger comes when we surrender the steering wheel. Today, algorithms, political campaigns and media incentives are exceptionally good at exploiting emotion. Outrage spreads faster than nuance. A soundbite can provoke a reaction before we have checked whether it is true.

"Ich weiss nicht warum Sie sich noch die "G7" nennen" Wladimir Putin am BRICS+ Forum in Indien Der russische Präsident hat wieder einmal ins Schwarze getroffen - Wir, der Westen, leben immer noch eine riesige Selbstlüge über unsere Grösse und Bedeutung in der Welt! Und angesichts der Realität wird das alles langsam lächerlich ! G7 - die Sieben Größten Industriestaaten, die "Mächtigen", diejenigen die dem Rest der Welt bei jeder unpassenden Gelegenheit erzählen was zu tun, zu denken, zu machen ist G7 ? Italien ? Kanada ? Frankreich ? Britannien- an dem ausser dem Kriegswahn und der Russophobiepsychose schon lange nichts mehr "Gross" ist ? Ja selbst Deutschland und die USA Die Einen im freien Fall, a nation in decline - die Anderen mit einem Schuldenberg für den sich Offiziere früher einmal längst der Ehre wegen erschossen hätten ! Wie bitte kommen diese Länder dazu sich die G7- die "Grossen Sieben" zu nennen ? Und gleichzeitig auf die neuen, die ECHTEN Machtblöcke der Welt wie BRICSplus oder die SCO immer noch präpotent/herablassend hinunterzublicken ? Nun- wie so vieles in der sogenannten "westlichen" Zivilisation beruht und begründet sich diese Selbstlüge auf einem Trick Ein gigantischer Taschenspielertrick, permanent wiederholt, von willigen Science Prostitutes den Abonnenten des Betreuten Denkens "erklärt" Das BIP oder englisch GDP Das BIP ist die Grundlage der Selbstlüge des Westens über unseren "Wohlstand" Im BIP kann man nämlich die Staatsquoten - also die Ausgaben des Staates die aus Steuergeld und Schuldenmachen bezahlt werden - wunderbarerweise einrechnen ! In Österreich etwa - mit einer geradezu perversen Staatsquote von 57%- wäre das BIP gleich einmal um mehr als die Hälfte kleiner würde man nur die ECHTE Wirtschaftsleistung heranziehen Nach dem BIP sind die G7 immer noch knapp auf Augenhöhe der BRICSplus Staaten Nimmt man allerdings die ECHTE Vergleichsmöglichkeit unterschiedlicher Wirtschaftssysteme - die Kaufkraft der Bevölkerungen - ja dann sind die G7 plötzlich nur noch "Sieben" PPP - Purchasing Power Parity, auf Deutsch Kaufkraftparität - das ist der echte Maßstab ohne Selbstlüge Kaufkraftparität rechnet die Wirtschaftsleistung so um, dass gleiche Waren und Dienstleistungen in verschiedenen Ländern miteinander vergleichbar werden, unabhängig von unterschiedlichen Preisniveaus Also was sich die Menschen in den Ländern mit Ihrem Einkommen kaufen/leisten können - DAS ist der Maßstab ! Und nach diesem Maßstab gerechnet ist am Westen, an den G7 oder auch der Europäischen Union nichts mehr "Gross" BRICSplus - 21 Länder mit 4 Milliarden Menschen (50% der Erde) gegenüber G7 - 7 Länder mit gerade einmal 800 Mio Nach PPP hat der BRICSplus Block mit 41% der globalen Kaufkraft die G7 mit gerade noch 28% längst hinter sich gelassen Und der für uns bedenklichste Vergleich sind Rohstoffreserven, Industrieproduktion und Handelsbilanzen BRICS+ sitzt auf den Lagerstätten, auf Öl,Gas,Kohle, Erzen, kritischen Mineralen und dominiert die Nahrungsmittelproduktion der Welt Nur die USA und Kanada "retten" die Bilanz und können da noch halbwegs mithalten Industrieproduktion ist "gegessen" Der BRICS+ Staat China alleine hat einen höheren IndustrieOutput als die G7 ZUSAMMEN ! Und die Handelsbilanz? Die produzieren, Wir kaufen BRICS gegen G7 - Handelsbilanzüberschuss für BRICS 1100 Milliarden pro Jahr Tendenz stark steigend Fazit ? Die Welt sitzt im HyperTrain auf der Hochgeschwindigkeitsstrecke während sich der Westen immer noch im imperialen Dampfzug selbst zuprostet BRICS+ und SCO sind die neuen, die echten Machtzentralen der Welt geworden Also hören wir doch wenigstens zu was dort besprochen wird, wie Die über die Dinge denken und was Die beschliessen ? Denn eines ist klar - Wir sind bald nur noch Zuseher und Passagiere wenn das so weitergeht und wir in unseren Selbstlügen verharren bis dem Zug endgültig die Kohle ausgeht BRICS+ trifft sich übrigens gerade in Indien - Ich werde zuhören GM #BRICS #G7 #Globalisierung
