Jack Ma Is BACK! China and US Trade Need A Bridge

Posted on by Helena

Jack Ma is BACK!   After enduring house arrest for the last 4+ years, Xi Jinping is realizing the value that Ma provided to China.  Jinping has made a full u-turn and is hailing the successes of Jack Ma and the anticipation of what he can do to invigorate China’s economy.   Sort of their version of Elon Musk.

As China sees a realigned economy under the Trump administration, Jinping knows that competition requires private sector innovation.  It is inherent in humans to become more aggressive in creating and improving when the competitive edge is pushed.  The Biden Regime’s notable department assignments were fluffy and ‘unmerited’ pulling America down in technology development and manufacturing.  Men thrive on competition.

DEI was the cornerstone of an equality egomaniacal dumpster.   Crashing companies which became prisoners of this mandated government policy.  Relieved of this financially destructive impediment, companies can begin to realign Merit and feed instead a sense of Honor.   A Man’s Word defines a man.  A Man’s inability to follow thru on his Word, also defines a man.  That man crumbles from within.  Crushing his soul.

Ma’s scuttle with Jinping was over a statement given by Ma that was critical of the CCP.  Under communist law, criticizing your government is disallowed.  And Ma was punished.  China’s about-face will encourage regrowth stimulation. 

This further accentuates the crumbling of the EU which is still tethered to their communist dictums.  

Ma was not alone in the State Forum conducted by Xi Jinping.  Media also showed participants included Tencent chief Pony Ma, and Liang Wenfeng, founder of DeepSeek, the artificial intelligence firm whose chatbot has caused a global stir amongst competitors in the US.  It remains a conundrum if the various chat boxes will reconfigure their data analytics to be unbiased by the liberal programming.  But competition would be the dangling carrot.

Emerging from the darkness means the light is still blinding – doubts still proliferate and looking for the boogeyman is deeply entrenched in many who tend to distrust Trump and Musk.  Every mistake will be boldly written on a banner and flown across the globe spewing chemtrails.  Until their eyes become used to the light. 

In western views, China is still the boogeyman.  In the Trump administration this view is mostly prominent as a direct result of trade disparities.  Those imbalances began in the 1980’s.  By 1995 that imbalance became significant and dove thru 2005 during the Clinton and Bush eras.   Was it China’s fault?   Or was it a manipulation  imposed by the Deep State to further destroy America?

China’s manufacturing exploded while America’s failed.  Cheaper goods and services.  Achieved through government ‘subsidies’.  If China is allowed to build their economy, they will raise wages and competition can naturally evolve.  Conversely, if America can level out its economy and manufacturing and recreate the middle class, a  robust  economy can be rebooted.

The KEY is ‘subsidies’, an artificial means of competition instead of allowing demand to create the subsidy.   The US predominantly subsidizes energy, transportation and agriculture.   But subsidies also include Health Insurance and electric vehicles.   These need to phase out in order to create real markets.  It has become a poker game – if you subsidize so will I, if you back off, so will I – attitude.  It is right up there with ‘sanctions’ another trade assassination. 

The history of subsidizing dates to FDR’s New Deal, a communist manifesto that caused price fixing, cartel markets, and inflation.  Nonetheless, subsequent governments continued the fraud to include wind and solar subsidies, bank failure subsidies, NATO subsidizing all of Europe, and the DoD subsidy market for the defense industry. 

When chastising China’s subsidies they are most likely a reaction to America’s.  And we might want to take a harder look in our own backyard.

INTEL was given $8 billion in subsidies for its 2 Ohio chip plants that were supposed to be finished by 2025.  Today they are laying off workers and claiming the new completion date might be 2028 or 2030…  As of 2024, Intel’s COST of Revenue was up 44% while its operating revenue was down 264%.   In 2023, Intel’s CEO gave himself a 45% salary increase valued at $16.86 million.  WHY are taxpayers funding this poorly run and operated subsidy?

In summary, to make America sustainable again we need to remove all subsidies and sanctions.  Unions must compete with merit based comparables.   And incentives should only be allowed when a company beats the deadlines and passes ALL inspections.

The Fifth Industrial Revolution Needs Tech Talent

Posted on by Helena

The Fifth Industrial Revolution is upon us.   While technology and AI are ever expanding and exploding, the labor market is left in the dust.   Many jobs are becoming extinct, just as in every revolution, but the shift to expand the necessary skills needed to meet today’s market is being met with resistance.  “ALL Americans must be employed before we cave to one immigrant” is the rallying cry.   But ALL Americans no longer have the necessary skills.  The Education system was too engrossed in making peasants to see past their World Order dysfunction.

By 2026, the shortage of ‘available talent’ is expected to reach over 1.2 million.  Technology is only a part of the equation.   Constantly upgrading the talent with the advancements has fallen flat.  A person trained in a particular field five years ago is already obsolete.  They can either retrain or find themselves ‘laid-off’. 

Within this weave, there is burnout.  Burnout occurs when management can’t replace talent and are forced to rely more and more on a smaller pool of overworked talent.  The cycle expands as the business loses its reputation among recruits and a digression develops.

The Americans demanding full employment by Americans don’t appear to understand the concept of obsoletion that is normal within every Industrial Revolution.  It is like requiring phone operators to be employed when there are no more landlines.  The shortage of pilots when planes were first developed.  Mechanics for the first line of automobiles. 

Where is the Job Market today?  What jobs are in demand and which jobs are or will soon become obsolete?

The degrees in highest demand are not always the ‘most popular’.  Too often those unpopular degrees are the ones that prove the biggest waste of time and money:  Liberal Arts – starting salary $36,000.  General Psychology – starting salary $34,000.   Communications. English.    Wherein Demand means ‘shortage’ translates to higher salary:  mathematics & Statistics, Nursing, Physician Assistant, IT, Computer Science, Engineering etc…

Jobs that will soon be obsolete include:  Bank teller, Cashier, Data Entry, Retail workers, actors, writers – anything that can be replaced by faster and less costly AI.  Like it or not – this is the future.  It is advancement.   When my grandmother was born cars were the latest invention, no planes, no bare legs, and women had a 23” sucked in girdle waist.  Chinese made up 90% of the railroad workforce.  Today, blacks make up 50%-60% of sports.   Should be fire all black athletes and replace them with whites?

Musk has warned America about the declining birth rate – to a crowd of naysayers.  But here are the statistics:  In 2016, the birth to death ratio for whites in America was less than 1.  The fertility rate between 2021 and 2023 had dropped to 52.9 per 1,000 white women compared to Asian/Pacific Islanders – 446.3 per 1,000.  

IF you want America to be White Again – you have to have babies.  It is that simple.  IF you want all Americans to have jobs, you have to be ‘marketable’.  Basic economics.

There are two fundamental guides that either ground us or see us fail;  Critical Thinking and Emotional Thinking.  Both are necessary components in every aspect of our lives, however, the weight of each should correspond to the value attainment.   For example; a business survival guide would likely lean 75% Critical to 25% Emotional.  Art would likely be the reverse.   DEI turned businesses upside down given it is based 100% on Emotional values.  DEI caused bankruptcies, increased incompetence, and worse – required blacks at 14% of the population to be the new hires consuming some 97% of ALL new hires.  Whites were fired to meet the DEI Requirements.  A business that didn’t – would be put out of business.

DEI also consumed salaries as an entire department had to be created.  It dragged businesses into the rabbit hole of inferior quality.  It also caused CEO’s to quit at a greater rate than ever before given they didn’t want to be associated with a failing company.  Unlike captains they had no intention of going down with the proverbial ship.

And Lastly, for qualification:  There are 7 separate types of VISA’s available for immigrants:  EB-5, Temporary Visa’s, B-1, B-2, Green Cards, Immigrant visa’s and H-1B.  The H-1B which is causing all the controversy is available only for ‘skilled workers’ with a bachelors or masters degree and capped at 85,000.  LPR Immigrant Visa’s are permanent and can allow up to 675,000 per year.  It is the LPR’s that are exploited given they can get public assistance, welfare and in-state tuition.

Unfortunately, the people most aggressively arguing don’t know this facet of immigrant VISA’s.   Our problems in the US are today.  To fix our problems, solutions require examination.   Unlike government which likes to create ‘committees’ to evaluate everything for years, the private sector, aka Musk and Ramaswamy, are the finger snappers – they see through the eyes of Critical Thinkers.  We don’t have years.   Yellen is claiming we will go into default on debt January 20th.   That hits our credit rating which hits the value of the dollar and trade.  Don’t be like government …

 

The NUMBERS GAME: America In Catch-up Mode

Posted on by Helena

The Fancy Footwork Of The Numbers Game:

Used to be that numbers were safe, they represented undeniable Fact.  Not so in our fancy footwork world of manipulation and outright fraud.  When attempting to resolve our economic destruction, The Biden Regime fed us a slew of numbers on par with the CoVid Vax scandal.  Without knowing the True Numbers, politicians and the money makers create huge errors, caverns, and spoils.   Jerome Powell used fake numbers to help the Regime destroy America’s economy.  Definitely, grounds for dismissal and stripping him of his pension and wealth.

Employment STATS:   The Heritage Foundation points out that some 4 to 8 million Americans who worked before CoVid never came back to the table.   Given the CDC and Stanford colluded to lie about Vax Deaths, no accurate account was made.  Morticians claimed a 33% increase is burials.  But NYC beat that with a mass grave. 

Education:   When the Biden Regime destroyed our education system, teens no longer filled the gaps for the restaurants and retail stores.  They were way too busy looting stores setting fires, and attacking innocent people for no reason.

As a result, retail and restaurants needed to fill the gap or get shut down.   Then the Biden Regime raised minimum wages further looting the smaller businesses of their ability to survive.   Bankruptcy.   Unemployed.

PANDEMIC:  The Pandemic destroyed millions of businesses.  It caused massive deaths of the elderly,  The Vax has disabled or caused harm to nearly a third of military troops.   Disabled = Unemployed.  Because our esteemed government preferred to hide the Numbers/Facts, we have no verifiable means of knowing the losses by employed industry.  However, large corporations quickly moved to fill their own gaps with foreign employees.  Unfortunately, the Regime did not ‘count’ the number of HB1 Visa’s and has no idea exactly how many have been issued!  One guess puts the number at 600,000, another at 900,000. 

What is highly likely is the Biden Regime approved more than was lawful – 85,000 (65,000 require a bachelors degree for specialized employment in the fields of science, engineering, math, and hospitals.  20,000 additional require a Master’s degree in one of those specialized areas). 

The VISA program was instituted to fill gaps, not take over an industry.   However, when combined with the simultaneous destruction of US Education, and the Death jab, the need for  high-end educated persons sky-rocketed.  As a country – within these fields of expertise we are NOT in first place.  That Place Holder is long gone.  But funny numbers prevail.

The STAGE is much larger and the damage of DEI much greater than our esteemed government and its proxy players are willing to admit.  Cowards.  All of them.  Is DEI why Boeing planes are falling apart in the sky?   Is DEI why military contractors are falling behind in manufacturing?  Is DEI why the government has to subsidize corporations so they don’t fail? 

The Biden Regime halted sales of weapons to various countries including Saudi Arabia.  Why?   The official answer was to preserve America’s safety.   The Real answer is the Saudi’s didn’t want inferior products.   Lockheed contracts include $11+ billion to ‘modify old military jets’ because building takes too long and we gave all our weapons to Israel and Ukraine.

RAYTHEON:  Navy awards Raytheon $736 million for AIM 9x missiles:  “The AIM–9X Block II is the most advanced short-range air-air missile in the US inventory, capable of using its datalink, thrust vectoring maneuverability.”  It was first developed in 1956. 

Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing All Lost a $30 Billion Air Force Contract.   April 2024, the U.S. Air Force picked two privately held defense contractors to build prototypes for a new fleet of 1,000 military drone aircraft.  One such company is Anduril Industries, formed in 2017.   It has virtually replaced the stellar old school Warfare stagnations with what is the future.   Two of the three founders of Anduril came from Palantir replete with Engineering degrees.  One began attending college at the age of 14, dropped out to build Oculus VR – purchased by Zuckerberg for $2 billion.

Teal Drones:  Founded in 2014 by George Matus at the age of 16.  They were given a $260 million contract by the Pentagon November 2024.  Their Black Widow drone is built for short range reconnaissance and ‘payload’.  Built at a low cost, portable, recoverable and field repairable.  Teal is a subsidiary of Red Cat Holdings based in Puerto Rico.  Red Cat’s Regulatory Affairs VP is Brendan Stuart who was given waiver/clearance by the military in 2017 to operate UAS over ‘people’.   His company is one of four given this approval.

Likely, these two companies are the source of the DRONE tests being conducted across the east coast military installations.

These people represent a small portion of what is necessary for the US to be competitive.  They are the cream of the crop.   When Musk and Ramaswamy claim America needs more highly skilled and less welfare grunts, this is what they are referring to.   Our defense industry is cratering.   Our doctors have retired and no one trusts them any longer.   Our scientists write papers for money because they are incompetent.  And our Education system does not produce quality engineers or techies. 

An overhaul will not please all the people all the time.   But if America doesn’t want to become obsolete in the future world arriving NOW – catch-up will take decades.

GOVERNMENT WASTE – INTEL, DEI and Research

Posted on by Helena

The US has 18 different Intel agencies.  The US also funds private NGO intel.  All are within the ‘oversight’ of IC Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA).   The U.S. intelligence budget has two major components: the National Intelligence Program and the Military Intelligence Program.  The combined budget is $106.3 billion.   Russia has three intel agencies.

According to the Wilson Center, Russia’s military budget is $81.7 billion – which they call ‘unprecedented’… Unfortunately, they don’t really know what the true spending and budget are given Russia does not publish this information and our 18 intel agencies can’t figure it out.   But like a good neighbor – they ‘guess’.  So, to help out these 18 Federal intel agencies and all the NGO’s taxpayers pay for, Reuters provided the information via a one page classified document?  I seriously doubt it.

The National Intelligence agency’s DEIA Director is Stephanie La Rue who previously worked as a lawyer for the CIA where she received an award – Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity Award for Exceptional Service.  Every department within the federal government now has their own DEIA agency and allocated Budget.  Yet Russia manages without any.

DEI required training before it could be implemented across the various departments – the cost – unknown.  The HHS alone spends nearly $40 million per year on their DEI program which funds 294 employees.   Color is the point. 

The Federal Government now publishes an annual report on the demographics of its employees;  18.2% black, 9.53% Hispanic, and 6.5% Asian.   Federal workers with ‘targeted disabilities’ – which include blindness, deafness, partial or complete paralysis, missing extremities, dwarfism, autism and epilepsy – accounted for 2.5% of the total workforce in 2021.  Equitable healthcare coverage is available for the LGBT community.

ALL these expenses are paid for by Taxpayers. 

Musk has been tweeting about some of the experimental funding in NIH such as trying to figure out why monkey’s throw their poop, or can monkey’s be trained to play poker, or can we transgender monkeys…  He has declared that he will create a Leader Board for all the agencies and their funding waste.  Transparency.  In real time.   Russia doesn’t use animals for testing except in makeup products.  How much of the US funding could be diverted to SS and Medicare?  NIH Budget = $50 billion.

But NIH is not the only funded research facility, 1,000 Universities have R&D expenditures of which 55% is paid for by Taxpayers = $100 billion.  What is the research?  Genetically modifying food, health and medicine, lithium batteries, and research on ‘Troops’…

For Example:  Johns Hopkins receives the most government funding for Research.   They spend it to ‘research the opioid epidemic’, for diseases that don’t exist in the US, climate change digital health, AI, and biologic & chemical weapons.  In fact – every university is researching the same fundamental topics while torturing primates which are raised on an island offshore of South Carolina.   Recently 43 lab monkeys escaped from the Alpha Genesis lab which provides the primates for NIH and Universities.  I was rooting for the monkeys.

 When researching diseases, the point is to find a new Pharma Drug that will not cure the infectious disease, but calm it while providing 12 more diseases that you didn’t have but do now.  When researching biologic weapons – it is to use them across a wide range of countries – and blame Russia.  And when researching diseases that don’t exist in the US, the goal is to create a vaccine that will increase mortality.

Yes.  Our government spending could easily be cropped by 75%.  Forcing overpaid DEIA employees to actually work for a living.  With Federal Employees now counting roughly 22 million – the elimination would affect 16.5 million who would need to become productive members of society contributing to SS and Medicare.

DEI Dying on The Vine of The World Economic Forum

Posted on by Helena

Looking at the websites of The World Economic Forum and the United Nations, one might think that earth was inhabited only by women.   Empowering women.  Women of the future.   The Gender Gap.   Women’s Healthcare.  Women inventors.   It is nauseating.   In Palestine these ‘women’ are murdered daily.  In America they are raped by illegals every day.   And McKenzie Scott’s ‘charitable donations’ are targeting baby deaths, ie abortions, and trans, ie men who want to be fake women.   While Bill Gates wants to sterilize all women.   YEAhhhh….

The women on these WEF and UN websites are all powerful.   Wonder Women who are going to save planet earth from humanity.  Pictures of smiling African women wearing brand new designer clothes working the fields in Africa…   Or board room styled executive women sitting in ivory towers wearing Hillaryesque pant suits.   YUCH!

But then I open a fashion magazine online and all I see are fat women.   I have absolutely no idea what that outfit would look like on me – so I simply shut it down.   Other retailers seem to be under the impression that blacks make up 75% of the US population.   Who are they appealing to?   Their base of maybe 4% blacks?   Europe remains the least diversified country – with roughly .5% to 3% black populations.   Are these stores forced to comply with black and fat mandates?

Victoria Secrets:  A thin black woman with a triple A bust is jump roping to prove the bra she’s wearing is ‘bounce proof’.   An obese black woman wants me to stretch with her while she ‘moves very slowly’ on video camera.  And plump toneless ‘runners’ video themselves errr ‘running’ to get me to buy their jogging tights.  And then there’s the ‘ask a black stylist’ what to wear… only she’s wearing a Captain Kangaroo jacket….

I’m not sure whether to be offended or to laugh!

Before I get the hate mail, I do understand the stigma of the Auschwitz skinny models that represent 1% of the total population.   But Retailers are losing.   People don’t go to the physical stores because their inventory is pitiful.   Their inventory is pitiful because volume is curbed due to the high cost of rent.   Commercial property is in a never ending spiral.  It is tanking and its debt is growing – estimated to be $2.2 trillion – coming due by 2027.

The yield on commercial bond debt is now 11% – which sounds great until you watch the bond value plummet by 20%.  It isn’t just the Pandemic Shutdown, it isn’t the Supply Chain, and it isn’t just the mortgage rates hiked into oblivion by our Jerome Powell – Bank of International Settlements – sponge, like homeowners, it is the property insurance, utilities and property taxes that are making commercial real estate worthless. The same ‘utility’ cost that will triple as more people buy the ridiculous EV’s.

While many are moving to red states like Florida and Texas to escape state income tax, the property tax rates and insurance costs are destroying ‘ownership’.   But the exposure is not just about the retail industry, it is about the banks sitting on dead loans.   The five banks with the highest exposures range from commercial portfolios representing 57% to 68% of outstanding loans.  The bank with the highest debt is New York Community Bancorp holding roughly $111 billion in commercial loans.

This is why Trump can’t get a Bond on his commercial real estate – the industry is about to implode.

The effect is NOT just on the US, four countries are poised to find themselves invested in sand:  Germany, South Korea, Canada and Singapore.   While housing bubbles have come and gone, they hit hard and strong, and recouped relatively nicely within a five to 10 year time frame.   But they had a market.   By contrast, the commercial market is dead as a whorehouse in Amish country.   What lives?  Warehouses.  Warehouses for Amazon, for retailers, for pot growers, and inventory.   The era of buying a beautiful skyscraper to house worker bees is dead.   It is just too expensive – and the cost is now devoted to employee wages and benefits instead.

FOR EXAMPLE;   In Colorado, survival income is now topping $100,000.   In one year, the average price of a new home went up $100,000 while wages rose 10%, food rose 98%, and energy rose 24.7%… at the same time the federal government reported inflation of 3.4%.

And anyone who disagrees that the economy is its most stellar in history is a damn liar… according to state democrats who seem to now speak for every person in America when asked to compare Brandon to Trump’s presidency.  No one simply speaks for themselves – including fashion stores – they speak for the DEI Police.

According to the ACLU, “anti-DEI efforts are the latest attack on racial equality and free speech”.   And – of course – it is all Donald Trump’s fault:

“First, Donald Trump and right-wing extremists attacked government trainings on racism and sexism. Then the far right tried to censor classroom instruction on racism and sexism. Next, they banned books about BIPOC and LGBTQ lives. Today, the extreme right’s latest attack is aimed at dismantling diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.”   ~ it is difficult for me to print this without background music on my tiny violin…

In response, states are now eliminating the need for Law Exams because blacks can’t pass them – that kind of DEI.   Employees of the largest construction firms were required to take DEI classes before they could build buildings – because buildings are racist.   Retailers were required to have stipulated percentages of black and obese models.  To represent and embrace the volume of fat – like you are getting 30 sq ft of a woman for the price of a 5 sq ft woman…   VOLUME.

Suddenly, these far left CEO’s are realizing that DEI is costing them – not just in their competitive retail ability, but in their hiring cost of the DEI trenchant of VP’s and assigned plebes.   But the damage is done.   Fat women and blacks are NOT going to save America.  DEI has about as much impact as electric automobiles.   The economy/pollution is worse, the quality is worse, the value is worse, and the money spent is Blowin’ in The WIND…
