Let's talk about the Trump admin posting its economic illiteracy on main....

The Donald Trump administration revealed the US empire's new plan for global dominance in the 2025 National Security Strategy. The goal is to impose hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, reviving the colonial Monroe Doctrine, to move supply chains out of Asia and bring manufacturing into Latin America via "nearshoring", in order to economically decouple from China and prepare for conflict in Cold War Two. Ben Norton analyzes the important document.

Episode: 184 Financial Resiliency: Preparing for the Next Disruption   In this episode of Restaurantopia, Brian and Dave break down what restaurant owners should be doing right now to strengthen their financial position before the next economic downturn hits. From interpreting economic indicators to tightening your operational systems, this episode is packed with timely, practical insights that independent operators can take action on today. Whether the slowdown arrives in six months or a year, the restaurants that prepare will be positioned not only to survive — but to grow.   Key Topics Covered • Why financial resiliency matters now more than ever Consumer stress, defaults, industry bankruptcies, and the real signs behind a softening restaurant market. • Inverted Yield Curve 101 — and why it predicts downturns Brian breaks down (Top Gun style) what an inverted yield curve means and why it has preceded multiple recessions. A graph will be included for reference. • Market changes operators should watch Second-generation spaces returning, closures from national chains, shifts in discretionary spending, and how these create opportunity for strong operators. • Building financial resiliency inside your restaurant Practical steps you can implement this week: – Build a cash buffer – Run worst-case financial scenarios – Streamline your supply chain – Consolidate vendors to strengthen relationships – Audit & renegotiate fixed costs every 6 months – Create and maintain a contract calendar – Trim menu bloat and focus on high-performing items – Strengthen community loyalty and local partnerships • The role of digital organization Why every operator should maintain an internal vendor binder, digital logins, contract info, POS access, and more. Avoid the "who knows the password?" disaster. • Personal finance matters too Why your home budget affects your restaurant's ability to weather downturns — from subscriptions to Costco impulse buys (yes, survival buckets included). • Never waste a crisis Economic tightening is when the strongest operators scale. Brian shares real examples of second-generation spaces going for a fraction of past prices.   Practical Takeaways Tighten spending at home and in the business Audit all subscriptions Review every contract (internet, waste removal, grease trap, pest control, etc.) Build financial dry powder Be ready for opportunity: inexpensive expansions, acquisitions, and second-generation spaces Always know where your digital info lives   Tools & Tips Mentioned ChatGPT for contract organization Upload contracts to generate a contract calendar automatically.

Chris Markowski discusses the current political and economic landscape, emphasizing the pervasive influence of media and the concept of 'rage baiting' that keeps audiences engaged through anger. He reflects on the increasing corruption and decay in American society, the erosion of trust in institutions, and the importance of local accountability.

McFadden calls for a return to personal responsibility and financial independence, urging listeners to be cautious in their financial decisions and to seek help when needed.

 Chris Markowski delves into the complexities of financial truths, the media's influence on public perception, and the realities of government spending and corporate influence.

EU Integration as Deeper Western Engagement Than NATO — Anatol Lieven — Lieven argues that European Union membership offers Ukraine more comprehensive integration into Western institutional and economic structures than NATO alliance membership alone, though EU accession requires massive institutional economic reforms and governance restructuring. Lieven documents that Russia strategically demands that Ukraine conduct new democratic elections to validate peace settlements and ensure regime commitment to negotiated agreements. Lieven notes the strategic paradox that the United States conspicuously avoids pushing for electoral validation that could provide democratic legitimacy to negotiated territorial compromises. 1936 MUNICH

CEPR (12/2/25) This week on CounterSpin: A militarized US Drug Enforcement Administration force declared they'd taken out drug traffickers in the Caribbean, killing some of them in what was sold as a successful operation. Locals on the ground reported differently, saying these people weren't drug traffickers, just human beings who happened to be on the river and got shot up by US forces who were not attacked, as they claimed, but just killed innocent people because they were given orders to kill them. It should sound familiar—but this isn't today in Venezuela; it's 2012 in Honduras. An inspector general review from the State Department and the Justice Department found that, no, this was not a Honduran operation, or a “joint operation” the DEA were helping with; it was a DEA operation, and it killed four innocent people and injured others in a remote, Afro-Indigenous part of Honduras. The story that the DEA pushed on Congress and the press corps was just a lie. But you’d hardly know that history reading current coverage of Honduras, where, as we record on December 4, the presidential election is still in question. Not in question: the US's long history of intervening—violently, dramatically, unaccountably—in Honduras. We'll talk about it with Alex Main, director of international policy at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin251205Main.mp3 Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at media coverage of the murder of Amber Czech. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin251205Banter.mp3

After weeks of speculation, back and forth over bad theories on inflation and what seemed to be a steady stream of hawk-sounding Fed policymakers, the market has spoken. We know right now what the FOMC is going to do next Wednesday.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, Mark Holthe and co-host Alicia Backman-Beharry break down Canada's new 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan and what it really means for workers, students, and families trying to stay in Canada. They explain how the government is cutting new temporary residents, modestly shifting permanent residence toward economic classes, boosting some PNP quotas, and hinting at future TR to PR–style options—all while warning that these are some of the toughest times in years for people on temporary status. Key Topics Discussed Why Levels Plans Matter Three-year rolling targets now cover both permanent and temporary residents. Drive everything from Express Entry draw sizes to PNP quotas and study permit approvals. Economic vs. Family Balance Around 65% of PR spots are slated for economic immigration. Slight decline in family class to make room for more economic applicants. Express Entry & PNP Shifts “Federal high skilled” now bundles FSW, CEC, and FST under one label. Some Express Entry numbers have been shifted back to the Provincial Nominee Programs, which see their targets climb again. Big Cuts to New Temporary Residents Planned new temporary resident arrivals for 2026 are dropping sharply. Driven by pressure on housing, healthcare, and services as temporary residents hit historic highs. Key Takeaways Competition is intense: fewer new temporary residents and stricter PR targets. PNPs are critical, but integrity checks are tougher than ever. Be ready now: keep language tests, ECAs, and Express Entry profiles valid. French can be a game-changer for those who can add it. In some cases, leaving Canada in status may preserve better long-term options. Quotes from the Episode Mark Holthe: “These are dark times for many people in Canada. The government is very serious about reducing the temporary population.” Alicia Backman-Beharry: “Make sure your ducks are in a row—language, education, documents—so if a new pathway opens, you're ready on day one.” Links and Resources Watch this episode on YouTube Canadian Immigration Podcast Book a consult Enroll in the Express Entry Accelerator and Masterclass Subscribe for MoreStay up-to-date with the latest in Canadian immigration by subscribing to the Canadian Immigration Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube.

Economic sanctions are the big geoeconomic bazooka. But what does history tell us about how well they work, and their relevance today. And does the theory match the data? Moritz Schularick of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and CEPR talks to Tim Phillips about the evidence of the history of sanctions on what they can achieve, whether we expect too much too soon from small sanctions – and whether politicians are prepared to impose the sanctions that bite.

Beijing's Economic Desperation: The Triangular Debt Crisis — Andrew Collier — Collier interprets Beijing'spublic calls for state-owned enterprise and private sector cooperation as unmistakable indicators of governmental financial desperation, as the Chinese state systematically fails to compensate private suppliers and contractors. Collier documents that China is experiencing a debt crisis structurally analogous to the "triangular debt" phenomenon of the 1990s, wherein private firms accumulate mounting insolvency as Chinese banking institutions systematically privilege lending to state-backed entities over private sector enterprises, constraining private sector growth essential for technological advancement. 1959

Crypto Winter vs. AI Substance — Elizabeth Peek — Peek argues that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency price fluctuations lack underlying economic valuation fundamentals, unlike equities where corporate earnings directly drive share valuations, rendering current market volatility economically inexplicable. Peek contrasts cryptocurrency speculation with artificial intelligence, which she characterizes not as speculative bubble but as a profound systemic transformation affecting how civilization functions at foundational levels. Peek emphasizes that despite elevated valuations for AIcompanies including Nvidia, the underlying technological transformation justifies substantial market capitalization, distinguishing AI from unsustainable cryptocurrency enthusiasm lacking intrinsic value generation mechanisms. 1910 NYC FINANCIALS

Strong Economy and Rate Cuts — Elizabeth Peek — Peek documents that the U.S. economy remains robustly strong, with aggregate consumer spending outpacing inflation rate accumulation, indicating sustained purchasing power and economic vitality. Peek acknowledges that labor market sentiment remains weak despite aggregate employment statistics, reflecting worker anxiety regarding job security and wage growth relative to cost-of-living increases. Peek predicts the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates in December responding to softening employment indicators and deflationary pressures. Peek highlights ongoing uncertainty regarding potential emergency tariff implementation pending Supreme Court constitutional review and validation of executive authority over international trade policy. 1907 NYSE

PREVIEW — Elizabeth Peek — The Economic Conundrum: Strong Spending, Low Confidence. Peek analyzes the apparent economic contradiction wherein strong GDP growth and robust retail spending metrics coexist with persistently low consumer confidence and widespread economic pessimism. Peek attributes this paradoxical dynamic to acute affordability crises affecting substantial population cohorts and a deteriorating labor market characterized by declining hiring, wage stagnation relative to inflation, and employment insecurity. Peek characterizes this bifurcated economic experience as a "K-shaped economy," wherein stock market gains and asset appreciation benefit relatively privileged populations, while widespread financial anxiety, housing unaffordability, and discretionary spending constraints generate diffuse economic distress among middle and working-class populations. 1890 HARLEM HEIGHTS

⬜ Welcome to Palvatar Market Recap, your go-to daily briefing on the latest market movements, global macro shifts, and crypto trends—powered by Raoul Pal's AI avatar, Palvatar ⬜ In today's update, Palvatar reviews a shaky start to December across global markets. Bitcoin faces its steepest one-day drop in months following China's crypto ban, while Japan considers a flat 20% tax on crypto gains and Sony Bank plans a U.S. stablecoin launch. Economic indicators show China's manufacturing contraction, cautious U.S. sentiment ahead of key reports, and mixed signals from UK consumer borrowing, highlighting ongoing market uncertainty.

December begins with a decided risk-off mood in financial markets, led by more painful liquidations in crypto. Bitcoin starts off the month with a nearly 7% drop to what would be a new recent low. Why? Economic woes continue to dominate concerns. Starting with Chicago, ISM's regional business barometer put up its largest single month decline in new orders in more than two years. Backlogs crashed by nearly 22 points to the lowest since March 2009. Its employment index fell to the worst since May 2009, with not a single respondent saying it had increased employment last month. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Gary discusses different aspects of monetary policy and economics. Politicians and economists act like they can control and turn economic laws the way they want them to go. This is not possible, as Gary points out with three quick lessons from real-life scenarios.
