Thailand's Pavilion at Osaka Expo Faces Backlash for Missing Futuristic Mark
I have been reading about the Expo because I may attend, but the reviews have been so so. Japan is doing this to boost tourism, and it may work for that -- not because it shows a better digital future (the future is more likely a dystopian 24/7 digital monitoring state). Whatever happened to the "Thailand 4.0" initiative reported in the Bangkok Post newspaper 9 years ago. Anything? The Post describes it as: "...a national development plan focused on transforming Thailand into a knowledge-driven, innovation-based economy.... promoting digital technologies, automation, and robotics, particularly among small and medium enterprises (SMEs), manufacturing, and the service sector." Thailand 4.0 has not arrived in my Soi yet! I think Thailand's pavillion focusing on the past will make it relatively interesting compared to the other pavillions...so Maybe a good choice! Whatever happened to -

Trump has discussed firing Fed's Powell with Warsh, eyed as possible successor, WSJ says
Powell is no help for the Trump agenda. An opinion piece here : Put simply, the ENTIRE financial system is on edge. So, what do our current Fed Chair Jerome Powell do? He trashes the economy and the stock market in a speech. Yesterday, Chair Powell spoke at the Economic Club of Chicago. Rather than soothing the markets by stating the Fed stands to act, he went DARK with his speech, stating that tariffs will have a negative impact on the economy, trigger an uptick in inflation, and potentially have a “larger than expected” impact. When asked if the Fed would intervene in stocks if they continued to collapse, he said, “No, with an exclamation.” This is simply jaw dropping. Again, the Fed’s job is to maintain financial stability. The entire financial system is on edge, and the Fed Chair is warning about an economic downturn, higher inflation, and saying that he doesn’t care if the stock market collapses. I cannot remember ANY Fed official EVER being this bearish/ negative on things when the financial markets are on edge. And it begs the question, “is the Fed TRYING to crash the markets?” We know the Fed hates Trump. You can literally feel the disdain in their public statements. But at this point it appears that senior Fed officials have taken things to the point of negligence. A CENTRAL BANKER’S JOB IS TO PROMOTE STABILITY, NOT KICK THE MARKETS WHEN THEY’RE DOWN. This is an extremely dangerous situation. The Fed basically just told investors, “you’re on your own with this mess.” The odds of a stock market crash are now higher than at any point since the pandemic. ---------------------------------------------- Personnally , I think it is great that he won't help . The PPT (plunge protection team) should never have existed. Stocks go down , you take the risk , you are on your own. That said , Trump should end the FED , like Ron Paul said years ago, or take it over so it is NOT a private institution. Elon should audit the cesspool. -

Why so many conspiracy theorists and what to do about them
Why should I bother, when you are so wrong? "What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence". Hitchen's Razor. -
