@chigrl There's something wrong with that chart because I'm pretty sure that USA is currently a natural gas net exporter. Anywise, it depends on prices. The Marcellus has plenty of room for increased production.

"When workers' wages are reduced, they necessarily use less, consume less, because of their reduced purchasing power. Only those who ignorantly or grabbingly believe in their avarice that business can prosper with wage reductions have yet to learn the lesson of industrial life and progress." -- Samuel Gompers

Thanks for the article. Cass gets it. And these economists who are finally seeing the light are learning nothing new. This goes back to at least David Ricardo if not earlier. It stands to reason if you increase the supply of labor, the price of labor is going to go down. It's the same with unilateral free trade: if you decrease the demand for labor the price of labor is going to go down. In addition to the incentive that high wages to invest in labor saving devices, thus increasing labor productivity, the other effect of high wages is increasing aggregate demand. USA's consumer market is bigger than China & India's combined despite the fact they have 8x more people. As Samuel Gomper's said, "When workers' wages are reduced, they necessarily use less, consume less, because of their reduced purchasing power. Only those who ignorantly or grabbingly believe in their avarice that business can prosper with wage reductions have yet to learn the lesson of industrial life and progress."

A bipartisan Russia sanctions bill, originally championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, would give President Trump the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the five largest buyers of Russian oil and gas, including China and India. The goal is to increase economic pressure on Russia over its war in Ukraine while leaving the decision to impose tariffs entirely to the president. The bill also expands sanctions on Russia's defense, energy, financial sectors, and its shadow oil fleet. Source: WSJ

QUAD A-10 REPORT A recent X user was suspended after posting violent wishes to dismember another account holder. @MsSweetSummer has been ferried across the River X to the purgatory of suspended souls. "Welcome to the other side, MsSweetSummer," said the Ghastly Ghoul from beyond. "Mind the gap... and the community notes you can no longer read. Your soul is now permanently offline." 😂

@WarrenPlatts @BaldingsWorld Over 50% from next cohort, basically every 10 years a huge section of society gets decimated like dominoes. Child care is now (diapers), next is elementary(teachers/art supplies), then youth activities, then tutors (hs), then colleges. Then jobs.

Happy Independence Day! 250 years of innovation in a country founded on the basis of challenging the status quo and channeling grand visions into building new things. Every day I feel lucky and proud to be an American. There is not a better ecosystem of builders, innovators, risk takers, industrialists, techno-optimists, disruptors, and entrepreneurs in the world. American Dynamism. It's in our blood. Our country was founded when we saw the flaws in a system and we decided to take a risk and build something new. That same mindset is built into the fabric of our startup ecosystem. Challenging the status quo. Seeking new solutions that drive equity, efficiency, democracy, happiness. Running through walls to accomplish dreams even when the rest of the world is doubting you. The American Dream truly is "You can just do things" - Manifest Destiny. I only hope I do the long legacy of the great American industrialists proud with my own humble project. It feels like it is part of the American mandate to try. Celebrating this amazing nation and 250 years of building today, and proud to be a part of it 🇺🇸

I bet Ma -- who oversaw the mass interment camps, torture and surveillance in Xinjiang from 2021 to 2025 -- now desperately wants human rights and rule of law for himself.

China expelled former Politburo member Ma Xingrui from the ruling Communist Party, accusing him of a wide range of offenses including corruption, abuse of power and trading political favors for sex bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

MA XINGRUI our latest purge addition. From Party Secretariat to Party's favorite disappearance act - Ma not only ran a brutal campaign of oppression in Xinjiang. Ma was also one of China's top scientists. Ma served as Director of the China National Space Administration, and chief commander of Chang'e 3, China's first lunar exploration mission.
