Jake Paul Gets Charged for Looting – But Privilege Rescues Him from Justice

Jake Paul was charged after he was caught looting in an Arizona mall. Don’t get too excited – he was only charged with criminal trespass.

The YouTube “influencer” has been charged with one count of criminal trespass and another count of unlawful assembly after he participated in an Arizona looting spree. While this seems like a step in the right direction,…

It’s Time to Admit the Economy Won’t See a V-Shaped Recovery

Unemployment data this week is anything but promising, suggesting a V-shaped economic recovery is a pipe dream. Continuing jobless claims show people aren’t being rehired. Salary cuts across the board mean even those who have a job have less to spend. U.S. jobless claims fell for a ninth straight week on Thursday, but cheers about a drop in unemployment appear premature. While the worst may be behind us, that doesn’t necessarily mean the U.S. economy is on pace for a quick return to growth. Predictions about the shape of the U.S.…

USD Still King as BTC and CBDCs Mount Challenge

The global monetary system has been centered around the United States dollar since at least the end of World War II when the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement formalized the greenback’s ascent to unchallenged dominance. Control over the world’s reserve currency came hand in hand with a boost to the nation’s already enormous geopolitical influence, as well as the ability to run huge deficits at low cost. Today, a growing chorus of experts believe that the dollar’s hegemony might be in a decline. America’s diminishing share of world trade, the expansion…
