#usa economy

[never-forget-viva-la-pluto]

the us economy is a nightmare. i have been applying for jobs nonstop for a whole year now and 3 places have called me back.

1 was a mlm scheme

2 was a place that had moved out of my state and wanted me to relocate to arkansas

3 was a local owned shop and warehouse that pays 14/hour but their wiki page has a controversy section that is twice as long as the all the other sections combined. on top of that all the reviews say that they interview just to keep up appearances that they are expanding but that they haven't actually hired anyone in over 2 years.

the usa economy is a nightmare and this is with a college degree, 5+ years of work experience, and keeping quiet about my disabilities.

its not just a nightmare. its impossible

EU imports more gas from Russia than US

The EU imported significantly more gas from Russia than the United States between April and July, according to Euractiv.

The EU imported 13 billion cubic metres (bcm) of Russian gas in the second quarter of 2024, for a total of 26 bcm this year. Meanwhile, quarterly imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US fell to 9.5 bcm, totalling 22 bcm, Bruegel reported.

European utilities paid a whopping 10 billion euros to Russian state-owned Gazprom. Ben McWilliams, an associate fellow at Bruegel, said:

Overall imports are down and flexible US LNG is squeezed out at the margin.

Norway remains the largest natural gas supplier to the EU with 21 bcm of supplies in the second quarter, whereas Russia strengthens its position in second place.

Past attempts to raise the issue of sanctions against Russian gas failed. EU gas imports would be on the agenda of the energy ministers’ meeting on 15 October in the context of winter preparedness, as it was expected that supplies through Ukraine could be halted.

uaw president (united auto workers union) speaking in front of congress. (he begins at 0:38)

paraphrased, not exact:

working class people aren't lazy, they are fed up.

there are people who don't want to work. but they are not the blue-collar workers. the lazy ones are the wall street freeloaders, the masters of passive income. taking advantage of laborers' production.

the people who we never talk about for how little they work, how little they contribute to humanity are the wall street freeloaders. not blue-collar workers.

3 families control as much money as the bottom 50% of usamerican families. and it needs to stop.

Oil prices rise with US interest rate cut expectations

Oil prices rose slightly in early trading on Monday on expectations of a US interest rate cut this week. However, growth was limited by weak economic data from China and lingering demand concerns.

International benchmark Brent crude rose 0.74 percent to $72.14 a barrel at 11.35 a.m. local time (0835 GMT), up from the previous session’s close of $71.61.

US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose 0.93% to $68.38 a barrel after closing at $67.75 in the previous session.

Markets are set for an interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve following its meeting scheduled for Wednesday, which would be the first rate cut since 2020.

The bank is likely to start the easing cycle, but market uncertainty remains over how aggressive the rate cut will be.

While investors have raised their odds of an aggressive 50 basis point rate cut, a 25 basis point cut remains on the table. Lower interest rates typically reduce borrowing costs, which fuels expectations of increased economic activity and oil demand.

However, the rise in oil prices was tempered by rising demand in the market following the release of data from China. China’s economic data released over the weekend pointed to weakness in the economy of the world’s largest oil importer, adding to doubts about oil demand.

The country’s industrial production in August fell short of expectations, unemployment rose and house prices fell further.

Why Are Americans Jumping Ship

The question needs to be asked why are Americans jumping ship and leaving California, New York and other cities in the United States for new locations? 

The question needs to be asked why are Americans jumping ship and leaving California, New York and other cities in the United States for new locations?  This is internal migration within the United States of America, not migration to other nations, particularly the English-speaking world and Europe.  People migrated due to better economic prosperity or an escape from persecution immigration to…
