The Dangerous Prospect of RFK Jr.'s Influence on Global Health
US and New Zealand are the only countries where this is allowed, I think. This OP is the most important thread I've seen about the entire election or candidates. Going after Big Pharma two days in is mind-blowing. -

British Man Injured in Pattaya Road Rage Incident with Thai Driver
I had the pleasure of visiting the Queen of the Eastern Seaboard around this time last year for a month, the highlight was the breakfast in the Hungry Hippo on Soi Buakhao, I'm surprised there aren't more traffic incidents with the chaos in the evening, especially with 10bt buses. -

Harris, Biden camps blame each other for loss
Posit they failed because people are just sick and tired of the direction the left is taking us (let's face it, however good their intentions, all they seem to do is blether and sow discord) so they went with the alternative however drastic that may be. They will now whine and fight tooth and nail rather than try to find common ground and move forwards. -

Baht Slumps as Trump's Victory Strengthens US Dollar
https://www2.cepii.fr/PDF_PUB/pb/2024/pb2024-49.pdf The beneficiaries will be Mexico, with wages up. The rest of the world, US included, not so well. Trump wants to devalue the US$ to make US exports more competitive. He thinks he can force countries to revalue their own currencies through tariffs. But a devalued USD will increase import costs driving up inflation. But you might say that's the idea, getting Americans to buy nice cheap American goods, not foreign goods. I work in the medical field. I looked at US medical device makers. There are about 14,500 of them. But less than 80 actually manufacture more than 80% of their products lines at home. About 14,000 have more than 80% of their lines manufactured wholly or partly outside of the US. Those Made-in-USA companies are generally making high value specialist equipment, that the rest of the world needs. US companies are making plenty of money, but they are not invoicing customers in USD, so devaluing the USD will reduce margins. And healthcare products are fairly price inelastic. The UK found that out post Brexit, so have the Russians, who are in a worse state because their healthcare is dependant not just on imports, but imports from foreign companies. So the cost of healthcare will go up, meaning insurance premiums go up. And Trump won't be alive long enough, for the 10-15 years needed to essentially build a US medical device industry from scratch. Our company economists are predicting staglation for the US, and concurring about a cut in global GDP. Trump's efforts to devalue the USD will be largely unsuccessful, unless he removes the independence of the Federal Reserve.
