ABOUT THE SONG
The financial markets thrive on stability and predictability, yet the post-election environment has introduced significant uncertainty. The short-term impact on markets is evident, as investors grapple with conflicting signals about future policies. The President-elect’s reputation for dishonesty exacerbates this uncertainty, leaving investors unsure of which promises or positions to take seriously.
In the short run, 'animal spirits'-a term popularized by economist John Maynard Keynes to describe the instincts and emotions driving market participants-are hopeful that economic growth and deregulation will deliver substantial gains. While this optimism may spur temporary market rallies, the long-term picture appears more clear. The campaign promises and key cabinet nominations suggest policies that could have lasting consequences, potentially reshaping economic and regulatory frameworks in ways that heighten systemic risks over time.
The U.S. has fallen to last place in science and technology rankings, a shocking blow that has left climate scientists at COP 29 deeply concerned. Trump's apparent lack of understanding of basic physical sciences, coupled with his policies that accelerate climate destruction, has baffled experts. Many question how U.S. voters could support such actions against the planet's well-being.
Adding to concerns, RFK Jr.'s nomination for Health and Human Services has sparked outrage among health experts. Known for his anti-vaccine stance, his appointment is seen as a direct threat to public health, with measles specialists warning of risks to children. Vaccines and fluoridation rank among the most significant public health advancements of the past century. Unfortunately, RFK Jr. has been a vocal promoter of conspiracy theories undermining both, spreading misinformation that poses risks to public trust and health initiatives.
Trump's supporters, by endorsing these policies, are not only misinformed but also endanger public health, safety, and financial stability. The consequences could be devastating, both economically and in terms of human lives.
Headline: "Woman Who Shot Her Dog Will Head Us Homeland Security"
Noem faced widespread backlash in April this year when she wrote in a memoir that she shot to death an "untrainable" dog that she "hated" on her family farm.
Conclusion
Part of my recent study reveals a disturbing trend among Trump supporters: a shared tendency toward cruelty and sadism. If someone finds sadism amusing, it not only highlights a lack of empathy but may also point to underlying mental health issues. This behavior reflects a troubling mindset that demands attention and critical examination. The unchecked destruction of the environment, the erosion of governmental structures, and the growing normalization of cruelty paint a dire and unmistakable picture of our future.
