@TwraSun das gesammte Pressestatement von Robert #Habeck zu dem angekündigten umfassenden US-Zollpaket ist sehenswert:

phoenix.de/reaktion-auf-zoelle

Wichtige Punkte unter anderem:
- Wir sollten nicht die Grundannahme von #Trump teilen - die daraus resultierenden Diskussionen gehen in eine falsche Richtung
- Wenn #USA weniger importiert, kann das dazu führen, dass Waren z.B. aus #China günstiger werden. Das sind deflationäre Tendenzen die nicht nur positiv sein müssen

A quotation from Orwell

A thing is funny when — in some way that is not actually offensive or frightening — it upsets the established order. Every joke is a tiny revolution. If you had to define humour in a single phrase, you might define it as dignity sitting on a tin-tack. Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny. And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1945-07-28), “Funny, But Not Vulgar,” Leader Magazine

"Presenting new research, Dylan Sullivan and Jason Hickel mount a devastating critique of the impact of structural adjustment in Africa in the 1980s and 1990s. Drawing on recent data on Africa’s material resource use, Sullivan and Hickel show how during this period structural adjustment programmes led to a significant increase in ‘unequal ecological exchange’, a process whereby African countries were compelled to export more materials, energy, and other resources than they received in imports. The difference between the two, Sullivan and Hickel argue, represented a transfer of real tangible materials from Africa to the capitalist world economy, for free."

"China’s government bond market has opened 2025 with a clear warning for policymakers: without more determined stimulus, investors expect deflationary pressures to become even more entrenched in the world’s second-largest economy.

China’s 10-year bond yield, a benchmark for economic growth and inflation expectations, fell to a record low of less than 1.6 per cent during trading last week and has since hovered close to that level.

Crucially, the whole yield curve has shifted downwards rather than steepening, suggesting investors are alarmed about the long-term outlook and not just anticipating short-term cuts to interest rates.

“For the long-term [bonds], yields have been trending down and I think that’s more about longer-term growth expectations and inflation expectations becoming more pessimistic. And I think that trend is likely to continue,” said Hui Shan, chief China economist at Goldman Sachs."

Inflationsentwicklung in #China bereitet Ökonom*innen Sorgen:„Denn im Monatsvergleich sanken die #Verbraucherpreise sogar um 0,6%. Gleichzeitig blieb der Druck durch die #Deflation bei den Erzeugerpreisen hoch. Die Produzentenpreise fielen im November um 2,5%.“📉 via #Spiegel

#Trump's elections
mark the beginning of the end of #America as a #World super power
Not only militarily but also economically
the first signs will be seen from December
(#deflation will begin)
Of course the #MAGA #Government will try to minimize
or shift responsibility onto external factors or other #Nations...
'because trump is a genious and is always right'
but
even those who voted MAGA under their breath will begin to .... mutter in discontent
then it will get worse
and worse.
