Economic Cycles and Jim Acosta, Virtue Signaling
The current bull market is analyzed against historical 10-year and 80-year economic cycles, referencing the 1907 and 1987 crashes. Jim Acosta is criticized for "virtue signaling" during a press conference by suggesting the President call on more female reporters after he finished his own questioning.
Economic "depression signals" are identified through consumer trends, such as the rise of expensive "broth" shops in New York City charging nine dollars for hot water. Previously, macaroni and cheese and artisanal toast were identified as indicators that the country is in a prolonged economic downturn. These trends are viewed as a way to market basic, low-cost foods as premium items to a struggling population.
A report from Russia Today details the "Five Eyes" intelligence network consisting of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Leaked documents suggest the network's primary focus is political and economic intelligence rather than counter-terrorism. The hosts argue that this system is used to steal technology and gain advantages in international trade deals.
