France on the Brink

It seems that affordability is a problem in other countries. As reported in an article in Fortune magazine, “Nationwide protests over the high cost of living roiled France on Saturday, adding to turmoil over public spending and debt ahead of a critical vote in the National Assembly. Rioting broke out in some cities as luxury boutiques and supermarkets were looted while public buildings were defaced and even set on fire. That followed mass demonstrations earlier this month, with students decrying run-down classrooms, missing teachers, and buildings that aren't equipped for rising temperatures. Protestors blamed years of underinvestment in public education. At the same time, France’s looming debt has sent bond yields to the highest levels in 24 years, flashing warning signs not seen since the eurozone debt crisis in 2011.” Not to press the point, but allowing people to self-finance capital acquisitions so they can be productive instead of having the government issue debt to finance consumption might be a better way to go. That is the idea behind the Economic Democracy Act (EDA).

Space Agent X

There is economic tokenism, and then there’s Elon Musk. It’s not clear what he is hoping to accomplish, but according to an article in Yahoo! Finance, “Kids will soon have a financial interest in the future of space. ‘Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many,’ SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said in an X post on Monday. Musk didn’t specify an age range for the proposed gift, but a Bloomberg report indicated he could use Trump Accounts as the vehicle for his stock donations.” There are so many things wrong with this scenario, but we’ll mention just one: the very high probability that the so-called shares of stock will very likely be completely meaningless, possibly even worthless. Will shares carry the vote? Will there be dividends? Could anyone do anything with the shares other than sell them? Who would buy them? Frankly, as we’ve said any number of times, it would better to adopt the Economic Democracy Act (EDA).

The Value of Voting

It appears that certain politicians are going all out to see how many votes they can purchase using taxpayer money. As reported in an article in Yahoo! Finance, “President Trump announced an $8 billion aid package on Monday to help US farmers pay for diesel this harvest season. The relief program, announced at a campaign rally in Kansas and on social media, aims to bring down fuel costs for Americans ahead of next month's midterm elections. ‘Tonight, I am also pleased to announce that the Department of Agriculture will be launching a new “Harvest Fuel Relief Program,” providing our Farmers with 8 BILLION DOLLARS in support to offset Diesel costs during this Harvest Season,’ Trump’s account posted on Truth Social. ‘When Republicans win, we will pass even more funding for our Great Farmers, and Fuel prices will come tumbling down as soon as the Iran War is over, which will happen very quickly!’ he added.” But wait! There’s more! There is still talk about the $5,000 the president of the US and leader of the Free World wants to dish out . . . provided everyone votes as he says. As reported in an article in the Associated Press, “President Donald Trump is hoping that $5,000 checks can juice Republican turnout in November’s midterm elections — but even some of his devoted fans are doubting that government payouts would arrive. ‘I mean, I guess it’s good for some people. I really don't care,’ said Jamie Alvarez, who attended Trump’s recent Alaska rally in a red, white and blue outfit. ‘I don't feel like your vote should be bought. I feel like you should vote for who you feel is going to do the best job.’ Joseph Eatherton was attending that same rally and said he was ‘not sure if it’s necessary.’ When asked whether Trump could deliver on the promised money, he said, ‘I don’t know, and I hate being an armchair quarterback.’” One solution to vote-buying might be to adopt the Economic Democracy Act (EDA) as soon as possible.

Alberta Separatists Still Unified

For a while the Canadian province of Alberta has had a rather active separatist movement. As reported by the Agence France-Presse, however, “Canada's province of Alberta rejected a plan to hold a binding independence referendum, results showed Tuesday, a win for unity as the country faces worsening ties with the United States. Public broadcaster CBC and leading private network CTV projected a clear win for the federalist side, with official results showing more than 76 percent support for Alberta remaining in Canada with nearly 45 percent of ballots counted. Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed the result and said Albertans had made a ‘clear choice’ in favor of unity.” That is heartening news at a time when the world is becoming more divided and world leaders increasingly divisive, but it doesn’t address the underlying problem of inculcating a greater sense of solidarity so that people naturally seek union instead of separation. While it’s not the whole answer, it would be a good idea for people in Alberta — and elsewhere — to come together and adopt the Economic Democracy Act (EDA).

Working on It.”

After a while it’s easy to start wondering if the powers-that-be are in any way connected to the real-world-that-be. Take, for example, the current administration and its view of the economy. As reported in an article from the Associated Press, “President Bill Clinton famously said he could feel voters’ pain over the economy. But these days, when it comes to questions about high prices, President Donald Trump insists that the pain is his. ‘They hit me with affordability, and that’s the first time I ever heard the word used,’ he complained in Nebraska earlier this month. The White House leaves Vice President JD Vance to use a softer touch. Last month in Texas, he admitted ‘there are people out there who are frustrated by the pace of progress.’ And during a CBS News town hall on Saturday, Vance said, ‘I recognize that gas prices are too high right now’ and ‘we’re working on it.’” We are so glad they are working on it. One wonders, however, how hard they are working at solving the underlying problem by adopting the Economic Democracy Act (EDA) as soon as possible.

Expanding the Trump Kiddie Accounts?

Readers of this blog (or at least the News from the Network) are already aware we have some issues with the so-called Trump Accounts for Kiddies. As we have said multiple times, adopting the Economic Democracy Act (EDA) as soon as possible is a much better option, as it would not take existing wealth to fund it and would apply across the board to everyone. The weaknesses are not resolved by anything reported in a recent article in Yahoo! Finance: “President Trump and his allies have floated a series of ideas for another round of changes to Trump Accounts, potentially making them available to [some] adults. ‘We’re looking at something as an alternative,’ Trump said on Tuesday when asked if the accounts could be expanded. He suggested there could be a parallel program ‘because it really is somewhat of a different thing, having to do with adults.’” It’s not necessary to have increasingly complicated and restricted programs. Just adopting the Economic Democracy Act (EDA).

California Screaming

Officials and statisticians have a habit of forgetting the numbers they toss around often have real people behind them. The stock market is booming! The economy is doing great! The bottom line is improving! . . . too bad about all those people losing their jobs. It seems especially poignant when it hits the entertainment industry, which is dedicated to making people feel better or at least amused. As noted in an article in The California Post, Electronic Arts, “amid a business restructure, is laying off 3% of its global workforce, or about 400 jobs, according to Variety. . . . ‘The past several months have strengthened our belief in what EA can become. We have extraordinary people, franchises that matter to millions of players, and opportunities to build experiences we've only begun to imagine,’ they wrote. ‘Our responsibility is to make the choices, provide the clarity, and create the conditions for our teams to do their best work. We also want to give every game we choose to build its best chance to succeed for our players and fans around the world.’” Obviously, this would not be anywhere near as bad if those “extraordinary people” they are busily getting rid of owned a piece of Electronic Arts or some other bits of the booming economy — which they could do if we were to adopt the Economic Democracy Act (EDA) as soon as possible.
