I’m starting the process of moving the Doom Report to a less weekly format. So this week I’ll give you a few nuggets, but save the rest up until there’s sufficient momentum for a more nuanced report.
This week, the great sage Benny Johnson gave us these indelible words of wisdom: “Losing money costs you nothing.” I mean ... except for all that money you lost.
Hunh.
Maybe Benny’s not so bright after all. Happily, there’s a solve for your financial woes: just follow Trump’s social media and he’ll tell you when to buy and sell.
Good videos this week:
- Legal Eagle has an in-depth look at the tariffs, from how stupid they are, to where the numbers come from, to why they’re most likely illegal. Probably the best video of the week.
- Some More News has a great explainer on the economy. Great mostly because they echo what I said over a year ago: the numbers the Democrats are using to demonstrate how “good” the economy is are not working any more. Refreshing to know there’s a school of thought where people actually understand that. But the video is also good because they quote Robert Reic
h— I love it when my sources of information overlap.
- Speaking of Reich, he had a good (and very quick) video on how President Musk is reducing his tax burden. Not yours, of course: just his.
- More Perfect Union had a great video on the Bernie/AOC rallies. Also featuring John Russell, who is my favorite MPU contributor.
- Another MPU video, only slightly less entertaining, but probably more informative: why we have a major shortage of fire trucks. An excellent couterexample next time someone is trying to convince you of the benefits of privatization.
