'Governments are once again challenging the authority of central bankers' • FRANCE 24 English
Quote
Italy’s ruling lawmakers are pushing an amendment declaring the Bank of Italy’s $300 billion gold reserves state property, despite concerns it may breach EU rules. The move revives long standing political interest in using the gold to ease public debt. Italy will seek opinions from the Bank of Italy and the ECB, which has previously warned that limiting central bank autonomy over gold would violate EU treaties. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, François Picard welcomes Salvatore Rossi, Italian Economist and former General Director of the Bank of Italy.

Hitler proved that a central bank actually works really well as long as it's not run by bankers and business people.

Quote
The Reichsbank, which was the central bank of Nazi Germany, was directly controlled by Adolf Hitler. Initially established in 1876, it was renamed the Deutsche Reichsbank in 1939 and was placed under Hitler's direct control during the Nazi regime. The Reichsbank played a significant role in financing the war effort and was involved in various financial practices that contributed to the economic policies of the Nazi regime.

Hope so.  I grew in the 80s. My heroes were musicians,  artists, actors.  Millionaires were always criticized by rock bands.  It was disgusting to see generations treating these corporate billionaires like they were pop stars
Quote
Then your beloved musicians became millionaires.
Quote
There is a HUGE difference beetween a million and a billion.
Quote
And these musicians mostly do harm to themselves , not to dozens or thousands
Quote
They want to become the rich.  The US has become a nation that caters to the rich.  The rest don't  matter.
Quote
The conditions billionaires and the ruling class have created has the working class waking up each morning hoping to read more headlines about CEOs like Brian Thompson being deleted.


A wealth cap would go a long way in ending class antagonisms, especially under a capitalist economic system.

JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon Predicts ‘Crack in the Bond Market,’ Citing U.S. Fiscal Mess
Quote
JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Jamie Dimon delivered a dire warning for the markets, predicting a crisis unless the U.S. takes steps to address its spiraling national debt.

“You are going to see a crack in the bond market, OK?” Dimon said during an interview at the Reagan National Economic Forum in California. “It is going to happen.”

Bond markets have been rattled by the prospect that the already wobbly fiscal situation in the U.S. will worsen, should tax legislation backed by President Trump become law. A House-passed measure would increase projected budget deficits by some $2.7 trillion over a decade, adding to a national debt that already stands at more than $36 trillion.

Yields on existing bonds increase

When people start selling US bonds, it matters because yields on existing bonds increase, and the government has to offer higher coupon rates to attract buyers for new bonds to fund new spending.

Trump Media stock tanks 9% as Donald Trump files to sell up to $2.3 billion worth of shares
Quote
President Donald Trump’s stake in his media company now makes up a large part of his fortune.

A trust overseeing President Donald Trump’s multi-billion dollar stake in Truth Social’s (DWAC) parent company could sell up to 115 million shares, according to a regulatory filing.

Trump Media and Technology Group stock dropped as much as 9% on the news, before paring back some of those losses. The stock, which has often been described as a meme stock, has shed 44% of its value since Jan. 1.

Trump Media on Tuesday filed to register up to 142.5 million shares and warrants for sale, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That includes 114.75 million shares of common stock held by Trump’s trust, which is controlled by Donald Trump, Jr., the president’s eldest son. Axios first reported on the filing.

The SEC will need to consider the filing effective before stockholders such as Trump’s trust and ARC Global, which sponsored Trump Media’s special-purpose acquisition company, can sell their shares.

Trump’s ownership of Trump Media, valued at roughly $2.1 billion, made him one of the world’s 500 richest people last year, with a fortune of as much as $6.5 billion. Forbes now estimates his fortune at about $4.7 billion...
