Will America Be Burned?

Free, Hidden In Him

I have seen better videos with the economist professor Dr Richard Wolff, but he explains things in an easy way to understand.




Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

I don't know that the people of this nation will revolt that easily (31:10). Eventually yes. But we are too conditioned to things IMO, kinda like the proverbial frog in the pot. But regardless of who is in office in the future, I think we are going to continue to cook until increasing unemployment and poverty lead to mass rioting. Not a fun thing to think about, so I hope it can be staved off as long as possible.
 
God bless America. May this nation become a nation that honors the LORD.

God bless President Trump. May the LORD bless him and keep him.
May the LORD make His face shine upon him and be gracious to him.
May the the Lord lift up His countenance upon him and give him peace.

May the LORD give our President wisdom and understanding to lead this nation through extremely difficult times.
 
Moderator's note: I had to delete a few posts and edit another, not because of any political bias but because we have rules in place not to speak derogatorily of leaders, good or bad. I understand the subject matter center's on decisions of the current sitting US President, so the line may seem hard to draw, but please center the discussion on the economic issues at hand and avoid smearing the character of our leaders. We are to obey scripture, and our actions should reflect the Spirit of God by honoring our leaders and lifting them up in prayer regardless.

Blessings, and just a reminder of the forum rules.

The above dream again appears to be at the heart of things. From yesterday:

US dollar’s fall in Asia stuns investors, spreads across globe

Central banks and financial officials are responding to the sharp appreciation in local currencies

[NEW YORK] The US dollar got a fresh jolt to start the week as speculation around potential trade deals sparked an extraordinary spike in Taiwan’s currency and reverberated across global foreign exchange markets.

Already under pressure as US President Donald Trump’s economic agenda dents attitudes around American assets, the greenback weakened further on Monday (May 5) against most major currencies. A Bloomberg gauge of the US dollar wrapped up the session in New York about 0.2 per cent lower after paring earlier declines.

Taiwan’s dollar led gains among the 16 major peers tracked by Bloomberg, earlier jumping the most in more than three decades on an intraday basis. The yen rallied some 0.9 per cent, leading the advance among the Group-of-10, while the euro pushed above the US$1.13 mark. China’s markets were closed for a public holiday.

Trump’s aggressive trade talk has rattled macro markets since he took office in January, undermining the US dollar’s traditional haven role in times of stress and leading investors to allocate away from US assets.

In recent days, investor focus has been on the scope and nature of any trade and tariff deals that the Trump administration will negotiate with key partners – and whether that will involve a coordinated effort among global policymakers to further weaken the greenback.

“We are all feeling a little shell-shocked in this part of the world,” Arindam Sandilya, a Singapore-based global FX strategist at JPMorgan Chase, said on a podcast describing the recent moves in Asian currencies. “The large and synchronised nature of currency appreciation is fuelling talk of some sort of currency accord among the region’s central banks.”
 

Dollar under pressure as investors await US trade deals

SINGAPORE/LONDON, May 6 (Reuters) - The dollar struggled on Tuesday as investors began to grow impatient over hoped-for U.S. trade deals, while Asian currencies took a breather after an unprecedented two-day surge that highlighted the fragility of the greenback. The dollar was last down 0.57% on the Japanese yen at 142.87, while Britain's pound gained 0.56% to $1.3371. The Reuters Tariff Watch newsletter is your daily guide to the latest global trade and tariff news.

"What’s clear this morning is some of the optimism we had last week around trade deals has faded," said Jane Foley, head of FX strategy at Rabobank. She said the market would soon "get impatient" and start to pay more attention to the warnings from companies about the damage to the world economy from tariffs.
