The Brits are still trying to process that the people chose Trump, and the Swamp was not able to prevent it....they have no idea what to do.

Given your lack of clarity I dont know what you trying to say, but if you are trying to say that MAGA is working to destroy the Imperial Empires central bank you are nuts.

MAGA is at the very least allowing this gold transfer.

What are you saying....why are there currently massive transfers of gold from London to America?

Gold goes high when people are scared, especially of inflation, but also just scared. The more scared they are the higher it generally goes.

The threat of tariffs have Americans terrified, and there are limited number of other places to put American money. If you are in London, you can convert your money into Euros or Dollars. If you are in NYC, converting into Euros or Pounds just seems like a step down.

If the British were the ones panicking, gold would be going from NYC to London, not the other way around.

While trump has a problem with many imports, I do not think he has a problem with moving gold to the USA. It is not a conventional import situation.

What trump might try to interfere with is moving gold out of the USA. It could happen if foreign central banks decide to pull their gold deposits from NY Fed, or if foreigners decided they would rather take gold than US Dollars. Either way, it would mean gold leaving the USA, which could cause trump to panic. trump blocking gold from leaving the USA would cause more panicking, and could cause a huge collapse... Maybe I should say "would" rather than "could".

There would be a lot more doing great work under age 30, if they could get the education earlier. It just is a huge amount of education needed. By the time you are through your post-doc, you are usually about 30. Add on a few more years to build up to it, and I am surprised that 9% can get any of their prime under 30.

To do truly great work requires so much education. I sometimes worry that one day we will hit a "Hubbert Peak" for science. We can have more discoveries, but it will take more and more education for fewer and fewer discoveries.

AI will help with a lot of that.

Although it varies by subject, the median age scientists do their best work is 43.


APA PsycNet

The median age at time of their chief work was found to be 43. Only 9% of the whole list had their prime under 30. Median primes by science varied from 37 in mathematics to 47 in anthropology, It appears that age as a factor influencing discovery, is greatly modified by other factors such as health, leisure, apparatus, stimulus, contemporary trend of the subject, all of which may concur only at one random period of life.

Science isn't 'discovery', mathematics, or age.

The BRICS are meant to be big countries that are sort of poor, but can be world's unto themselves. The BRICS have space programs like a rich country, but also are backwards like a poor country. After the term was made up, they decided to setup a talk shop based on the name.

China actually opened itself up, and is actually a major presence on the world stage. Even it punches beneath its weight.

China's major cities are far superior to anything the West has to offer.
 
Russia invented modern warfare, which the West is not prepared to fight, as evidenced by our humiliation in Ukraine, one of the worst military blunders in all of history.

They are far more polluted than anything in the West. They are working on that.

Then there is the issue of the large portion of the city populations living there illegally. That they are not working on.

Their cities are just poorly designed. They are designed for the city planners, not the people.
 
Just today on Judge Nap Mearsheimer said that it never even occurred to the children of Washington that Russia might be able to defy them in Ukraine....amped up on hubris as they were.

Russia is begging Iran and North Korea for weapons. That is just sad. Worse yet, it has helmets made of tin, and airsoft vests. I have never seen a military helmet dent when it is dropped.

They do some things well, but if they had the best, they would have won the war in Ukraine, and won it quickly.
