Following in the footsteps of other financial powerhouses like Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

On the other hand, Trump catastrophicly imploding the US economy is one of the likelier good endings to this insanity.

Being a public European defence company has never been better I bet. It's hard not to see all these moved as intentionally trying to make things worse, but why? And why is there no whistleblowers leaking the "why"? They can't possibly think these things will improve the situations, right?

More power to Trump. That is the improvement they're (he) is looking for.

> good endings to this insanity.

and why would that be a good ending? Or are you saying that such an event would collapse the superpower, in which case, it's good (but for everyone else other than that superpower)?

Shame that the guardian describes Powell’s statement as ‘blistering’: https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20260...

It reads to me more as ‘tepid’. He’s obviously trying to be as apolitical as possible, but I don’t think that’s going to help.
