^ AI isn't at a stage where it start replacing ppl outside of tech but enconomy is losing jobs across the board except may be health care.

 

Trump is actively making it worse, intrests rates need to come down for more jobs, but tariffs are making the fed move slower.

 

Govt. employees a good chunk of ppl, he is actively firing ppl. Business impacted by tariff need to cut costs, can't plan ahead & need to hire less or stop hiring.

 

 

 

Trump is probably making it worse.

 

But this is something i see in the uk as well.

 

I work for a Bank and last 2 years they have laid off people in their 50s on big salaries (regatdless of performance). They are not hiring grads. My team has same work load but has gone down from 14 to 8 people. Hr delay any sort of hiring. I have friends in Germany who tell me same thing. So those groups in 50s and early 20s end up doing part time 20 hour min wage jobs.

 

Share prices are rising and pension funds are giving 10%+ returns. But its at expense current of working force.

 

These are forces that politicians cannot meddle with.

Thats exactly the reason plus his business has chance to get 14 million back from Trump Admin if Tarrifs are reverses and hence why I felt Trump tariffs are not done deal despite majority of SC judges being republican appointed.

The market is losing some steam lately. Index is taking a hit despite companies hitting their earnings over the past few days. 


Some bank idiots n certain hedge fund speculators (RMBS guy Michael Burry for ex - who shorted the housing securitized market) desperately trying to spread narratives. Guy took put options on Nvidia n tech several months back - can only imagine his insane losses by now. So I can understand his desperation at this point. Even though there’s might be some drawdown, in future that doesn’t really change that fact. 

 

The retail is consistently buying the dips. So we may not see the growth we’ve seen in recent months but I don’t think there’s going to be any huge drawdown or at least a drawdown that’s gonna last for any meaningful time. But lots of repositioning going on in the trades as soon as the market recovers any dip.

Indeed. Incentive for full time vs part time. Part time makes total sense in Europe. You can get decent living and half more day to spend it.

Verbally Yes, Everyone is on board with US except India. But data is different. Trading in Yuan has increased. China just replaced US as biggest bilateral trader with Germany and India.

 

The day, China or Russia or both decide to send a ship to protect any latin American nation like Venezuela, That day will be officially recorded as date on which American hegemony officially ended. Now how  far are we from that? I think a a few year post end of Ukraine war.

Reports seem to suggest that Russian ships, Russian air defences and Russian Su fighters in Venezuela now. No official word. 

 

But I have reasons to believe it to be true as suddenly US attack on Venezuelan assets has stopped. Munroe doctrine is dead. Not yet officially

Alpha Defense posted a photo with Su57 as well.

Not sure if that deal is on the card as well.

One more stage is clear. UAC Team has assessed the HAL facilities and thinks SU-57 can be be manufactured in HAL plants in India.

Final nain in the coffin would be the fall of Taiwan.
Whenever it happens, it will mark as the end of US hegemony and rise of China.
South Korea and Japan too are at risk...but Taiwan will be the canon which will topple the world order in literal sense.

Munroe doctrine means US will go to war if somene enters in (their backyard) latin America or Carriben or Canada. THe doctrine is being tested now. Can it go to war with Russia?

 

On Taiwan, I think its not in our interest for Taiwan to loose to China. Once Taiwan falls,  All ASEAN nations will fall like a pack of Cards and China will have naval border with us. SO I will not wish for Taiwan to fall

Problem is Taiwan psychologically is part of China.

 

Even on their passports its written as Republic of China. No wonder China considers them as it's backyard. Taiwan is currently being protected by US, but the pressure on US troops is increasing ? Coz China is now challenging their dominance in the Asia atleast.

 

Anyway, fall of Taiwan wont paint a good picture for anymore. China will eventually launch a strike...out best approach is to grow strong and sign a defence agreement with ASEAN nation...which would allow the trade, tech and military to move swiftly from India to ASEAN countries.

Its ok for people in 50s. They get redundancy pay (typically 2 years) and have few debts. I see new trend to semi retire by 55 and go part time until 70. Travel a lot in these years. Most of the staff in local pub is semi retired and earning min wage. All relish it. 20 to 25 hours a week is fantastic. Drive 15 year old cars. 0 debt. Owner tell me work ethic is great.

 

But they are taking jobs typically taken by people 18 to 21. If your 18 to 25 in west its a hard hard time.

I just read south korea n japan are going nuclear and buildings subs. Got green light from usa.

 

I think its good for india as it keeps china occupied and their navy outside the indian ocean.

 

If trump caving to chinese means these countries go nuclear, india should be very happy.

 

5 years max it will take these countries to go nuclear and even beat india to building nuclear attack and balistic missile sub. Highly advanced civilian nuclear programs.

Covid has shaken up the society. Even in India, there are many employees who moved to their hometowns are actually picking up remote contract work, working for 10-11 months and then are taking a vacation for a month or two.
I know few folks who are living in towns like Saharsa, Jagdalpur while working for IT firms in Bengaluru, Hyderabad. They're completely remote...work for 9-10 months, and then go on vacation. Plus, there are some families of NCR who've moved to Goa and are earning less but having a tension free and chill life.

This curbs China, but as a side-effect Russia will also suffer.
We need Russia to stay strong, coz a strong Russia not only deter the US's influence, but also plays a key role in India-China relations. Not to mention the "veto" at the UNSC. France and UK can easily succumb to US...China is unreliable and can flip anytime.

But don't thing this arrangement will see the light for next 5-8 years...the way China is progressing, it will be an unimaginable force by next decade and may even overtake US in military hardpower. India obviously can't match it coz we're 3 times smaller economy and our manufacturing is still developing. But we need to aim to touch 8-10 trillion by 2035, that will give us lot more legroom to expand on our military.
