The South lost the U.S. Civil War in 1865. Politically, the Northeast and West are now losing the remnants of that war today, whether it be the issues of abortion, energy and power markets, healthcare, immigration, international relations & markets, judicial decisions redistribution of tax payments via the Federal Government, or manufacturing versus service sector employment. If you believe in Black Swans impacting society, economics and finance, try this one on, the Northeast and the West (and maybe throw in Illinois) cede from the Union if Trump wins! It is what the South has always wanted and it will cause chaos domestically and globally! Financial markets should take note! #BlackSwans #investmentstrategy #usfederalgovernment

My team does strategic architecture and command level forward defense operations. You call us when you need to Denuclearize and Disassemble a Russia size problem without crashing the economy. If you need to remove a rampant tyrannical technology mogul who has tried to take over the world using Reflexive Controls Networks, you call Brandon; because no one else can do it... We are the best in the world and more to the point there is only one of us; you can't do the work without us. We have been building a Democratic Singleton Ai by integrating it completely into each institution. This means NATO, Justice Department, Atlantic Council, DIA, Treasury, SpaceForce, NSA, INTERPOL, FBI, Justice Department and even more that don't exist.... My team has risk mitigated hundreds of billions of dollars of loss to the economy. We do economic rewiring and risk mitigation for forward defensive operations. Forward defensive operations; differ from offensive operations because we are actually building solutions into the the fabric of our society to harden against attacks and rebuild the national security community after a Russian infiltration. 100% certainty Trump's operators "The word for the team that controls the Spy" have been tying to create a techno Utopia with full mind control and crash the economy to replace the US dollar with Crypto... These people have an physical and allegorical plan to fly to Mars in a Musk mobile. We recently enabled a new type of fine for a company we investigated for $165B. You can imagine the evidence I had to collect to enable that... These guys are really trying to crash the economy... This is serious...

As each of the States decide on the Donald's eligibility to participate in their primaries, hopefully the divide isn't setting up the country for some type of a civil war? To me, this process seems to play right into Ray Dalio's prediction for some "type" of civil war, with the odds already being significant. Remember some of his existing inputs being the historic wealth gap, high taxes, ultra high/unsustainable deficits, inflation + stagnation, with continued extreme political polerization. https://lnkd.in/e_2qqmCJ

"What the hell is water?” — is the punchline to a famous David Foster Wallace story that shows, like fish trying to perceive the medium they live in, the most crucial realities are often the hardest to see. Our current political system is no different. In “It’s Your America!”, from The Hart & The Cur, I argue that now more-than ever, electoral reform is possible and needed. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gZ29MCDF My reform journey started from a conversation with Zac Blanchard last summer. "Do you know a guy named Eric Bronner?" he asked me. Within a few weeks, Eric and I were on the phone. Eric introduced me to Todd Connor, the co-founder of Veterans for All Voters. A few conversations with these guys plus reading Katherine Gehl and Michael Porter's book The Politics Industry, and I was asking, "Where do we start?" The good news is that things have already started. Organizations like Unite America, Veterans for All Voters, and Open Primaries are already doing the work to reform our direct partisan primary system into something that works much more effectively to enfranchise the broadest swathe of Americans. And people like Nick Troiano, and Eric and Todd have made it their life's work. You can keep swimming. Or you can look at the person next to you and ask, “What the hell is water?” #ElectoralReform #RCV #nonpartisanopenprimaries

The death of the middle class is not just an economic issue—it is a threat to the very fabric of American society. The policies that have eroded the middle class, including trickle-down economics and tax breaks for the wealthy, have concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a few while diminishing the economic strength of the many. To restore the middle class, we must embrace reforms that ensure fair taxation, invest in public services, and protect labor rights. Without these steps, we risk not only economic stagnation but also the erosion of the democratic principles on which the United States was founded. #middleclass #economy #trickledowneconomics #economics

Capitalism and the Creation of the U.S. Constitution - PDF: https://lnkd.in/ggb4jqMX This article engages with scholars working on the history of capitalism and with scholars of American political development to form a historical materialist perspective on the creation of the American federal government. First, it returns to the debate about the state in capitalist society to develop an approach for theorizing the relations between class, capitalism, and states. Next, it addresses the position of American capitalism in the 1780s, arguing that it was still in a long transition phase. After this, it reinterprets the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the context of the long and uneven history of American capitalist development. I argue that the U.S. Constitution created the foundations of a state that would serve capitalist interests, including capitalist slave owners, but, at the same time, provided some space for social relations of production not yet fully subordinated to the power of capitalism to coexist. Creating a system to manage federal debt and secure both domestic and international investment would also be famously ensured by Alexander Hamilton’s machinations as George Washington’s Treasury Secretary. Hamilton, more than any other framer, seemed to understand the importance of debt financing to the federal state’s success, and he pushed for the First Bank of the United States to be formed.136 Of course, the early “energetic” state constructed by the federalists was soon, to some degree, rolled back after Thomas Jefferson took power in the “Revolution of 1800.”137 The result would mean, as Joyce Appleby mentions, that “when Jefferson came into the presidency in 1801, he worked swiftly to democratize Hamilton’s accomplishments, dismantling the Federalist fiscal program, reducing taxes, and cutting the size of the civil service. The United States got the best of two worlds with Hamilton’s and Jefferson’s economic programs.”138 While Hamilton’s work secured capitalist investor confidence, Jefferson “distrusted financiers and wanted to liberate working-class white men from the condescension of their superiors. His belief in limiting government power also had roots in the slaveholders’ determination not to be harassed by the federal government.”139 #radicalization #antistatism #AmericanState #Americanpolitics #RightWingExtremism #democraticCapitalism #USConstitution

You may have heard this before: Texas is one of the most resilient economies in the United States. It boasts a low cost of living, ranks high in ease of doing business, and is home to a diverse and rapidly growing population. But did you know: The Lone Star State’s strong identity and high quality of life help make it the “stickiest” in the nation, with 82% of native-born residents opting to stay in Texas. The future of Texas is big and bright! Check out our new Spotlight Texas here: https://lnkd.in/gpFxamJ2 #JLLResearch
