The Federal Reserve reports an historic operating loss of $114 billion, the third largest bankruptcy event in U.S. history.
The U.S. Treasury's accelerated debt issuance, reaching staggering levels reminiscent of the pandemic, signals a looming fiscal crisis.
The commercial real estate sector, destabilized by the Federal Reserve's fluctuating interest rates and ensuing loan defaults, is posing a grave threat to the U.S. banking system.

n sheer dollars, it rivals the military industrial complex, and second only to central banking. Trillions frittered away on green billionaires and their army of useful idiots who glue themselves to highways.
In a dramatic pivot, central banks worldwide are following the Federal Reserve's lead in shifting from rate hikes to anticipated rate cuts, a move that has taken financial analysts and economists by surprise.
