"The self-inflicted uncertainty from the #China #tariffs has turned the corporate capital expenditures world upside down, created mass #uncertainty not seen since Covid, created a price shock that will impact the daily lives of US #consumers with no end in sight, & unfortunately ripped the hearts & lungs out of the US #BigTech #SupplyChain in the process with no minimal to no alternatives," Ives wrote.
"Regulatory #uncertainty, #funding cuts, #immigration restrictions, & diminished international collaboration create a perfect storm for #BrainDrain," said Gray McDowell at…Capgemini Invent.
…#Europe's political leaders feel the stance of the #Trump admin has put wind in their sails.
"The American government is currently using brute force against the #universities in the #USA, so that #researchers from #America are now contacting Europe," #Germany's chancellor-in-waiting, Friedrich Merz, said.
"Looking ahead, higher #tariffs will be working their way through our #economy & are likely to raise #inflation in coming quarters," #JeromePowell said.
"While #uncertainty remains elevated, it is now becoming clear that tariff increases will be significantly larger than expected, & the same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation & slower growth."
US #Stock indexes extend losses after #FederalReserve chair Powell remarks were released.
Deception, Obfuscation & Misdirection
This is a concatenation of posts I originally made in 2016-2017--even more relevant today...
Most are familiar with the concept of #FUD—short for #Fear, #Uncertainty & #Doubt. It summarizes a strategy often used in marketing and political propaganda. Its effects are pernicious, divisive and lead to exploitation. Examples abound. Fear is a strong motivator! To resist FUD one must understand how it is practiced using the principles of #Deception, #Obfuscation and #Misdirection.

#US #stocks are falling steeply Friday following discouraging updates on inflation & how much US households may be willing to spend given all the #uncertainty about #Trump’s escalating #TradeWar.

The Dow was down 520 points, or 1.2%, as of 11:30AM ET, & the Nasdaq composite was 2.1% lower.

Shades of approaching Ostara increasingly colour the world. This time of renewal is the perennial hope to which we can attach our hearts during these times of so much fear and uncertainty. The good times roll, so they say. But so do the bad times — rolling on and out of sight.

At best, scientific theories offer precise probabilities about the nature of reality. However, these probabilities can only exist within our mind. What are your thoughts on this? #zen #zenmaster #dharma #philosophy #science #uncertainty #probablity https://youtube.com/shorts/BrqbA5u5tTw
As we try to understand the truth about nature, we should recognize that all scientific laws and theories have a certain amount of mathematic uncertainty that we've agree to accept. Given this, is it even possible to know the truth? #zen #zenmaster #dharma #science #uncertainty https://youtube.com/shorts/T4UOHFokD5k

It's okay to reach out and ask for help. #feelings #emotions #mentalhealth #mentalillness #notokay

From my good friend and colleague Harold, et al
https://www.americanbioethics.org/who-we-are/harold-j-bursztajn-m-d-president/
“We are all, to some degree or other, afraid of uncertainty. Because our conception of ‘rationality’ is grounded in the ‘Mechanistic Paradigm’ that has no place for uncertainty, we find it difficult to be rational about uncertainty. Instead… we become anxious – most of all when our lives are on the line…
