-- low inflation (2.4%) in years
-- best earnings (63% S&P 500 companies have beat earnings expectations) seasons in years (best quarter in 25 years)
-- China’s July 2025 exports top expectations, rising over 7%
all above prove the all these old class economists, include

Remember when everybody was trying to convince us that there wasn‘t a deal on Greenland back then.

Seedance 2.0 is pretty wild
100% AI
What if Jurassic Park was real?
PROMPT:
Format: Found-footage vacation video, 15 seconds, seven shots with hard cuts — a tourist's camera roll from one full day, morning to dusk.
Image reference: Use the attached gate photo as the exact visual reference for Shot 1 — match its architecture, proportions, torch placement, lighting, and signage precisely.
Main subject: Young woman, blond hair in a loose low bun shedding strands, oversized faded olive t-shirt, denim shorts, white canvas sneakers, disposable-camera strap on her wrist. Realistic skin texture, minimal makeup, wide-eyed tourist joy. Maintain perfect visual consistency — identity, hair, clothing, proportions — across every shot and location.
Location: A vast island dinosaur preserve. Jungle mountains, open savanna paddocks, wooden observation structures, tall electrified perimeter fences, dirt tour roads. Dinosaurs are photorealistic animals — muted natural hides, birdlike motion, visible breathing weight. Filmed like wildlife, never like monsters.
Camera style: Mid-range smartphone, handheld by her friend. Heavy shake, autofocus hunting, motion blur on pans, compression grain, exposure pumping. Each cut is abrupt and mid-motion, like real unedited camera-roll clips.
00:00–00:03 — THE GATES (morning, filmed from inside a moving open-top tour jeep). The camera films forward over the seats as the jeep approaches the colossal timber gates from the reference image — flared stone-and-wood towers, flaming torches, jungle pressing in on both sides, the road still wet from morning rain. The doors groan open. She spins around from the front seat into frame, gripping the roll bar, and half-shouts over the engine: "Oh my god, this is wild! I can't believe we're actually here!" — as the jeep passes under the archway into shadow and out again.
00:03–00:05 — SAVANNA (late morning, wide shot from a raised wooden platform). She stands small at the rail against an open plain where a herd of long-necked giants wades through heat haze, one rearing slowly against the treeline. The camera zooms in shakily, overshoots, corrects.
00:05–00:07 — RIVER CROSSING (midday, low angle through the jeep's open side). Past her shoulder as the jeep fords a shallow river: a crested duck-billed dinosaur drinks twenty meters away, lifting its head to watch them pass, water dripping from its jaw. She raises her disposable camera; the phone catches its tiny click.
00:07–00:09 — JUNGLE FENCE (afternoon, handheld walking shot). Dim under the canopy beside a tall humming fence. She peers through the wire — and a small crested predator peers back from the ferns, head tilting in quick birdlike jerks. She backs up a slow half-step, whispering "okay... hi." Autofocus argues between wire and eye.
00:09–00:11 — THE HERD RUNS (late afternoon, chaotic pan from the jeep at speed). A flock of small striped dinosaurs floods across and around the vehicle. The camera whips left-right, blurred bodies streaking past, her whooping off-mic, dust on the lens.
00:11–00:13 — QUIET GIANT (golden hour, static shot at a wooden overlook). The frame finally settles: silhouetted against low sun, she stands at a rail as an immense horned dinosaur grazes just below, close enough to hear grass tearing. She isn't laughing anymore — just watching.
00:13–00:15 — DUSK ROAR (blue hour, half-framed and accidental). Filmed as the phone was being lowered, frame tilted: a colossal, deep bellow rolls in from the darkening jungle far off. Everyone freezes and turns toward it. Cut to black mid-turn.
Audio: Ambient only, shifting per location — jeep engine and gate groan, her excited line over the motor, savanna wind, river wading, fence hum, thundering small feet, grass tearing, and the single distant bellow that swallows everything. No music. No narration.
Style & quality boosters: Raw consumer camera-roll aesthetic, abrupt mid-motion cuts, heavy handheld instability, natural motion blur, golden-hour lens flare, coherent animal mass and physics — ground tremor, water displacement, dust. No text overlays, no watermarks.
Goal: One unforgettable day inside the world's most famous dinosaur preserve, told through seven imperfect tourist clips — opening on the gates everyone recognizes, and closing on the sound that reminds them what lives beyond the fences.

Germany Bet on China. It Was a Historic Mistake and It is Now Paying a Heavy Price.
Germany once believed China would become its largest customer. Instead, it helped create its biggest industrial competitor.
In this video, I compare how the US, Japan, and Germany responded to China's rise over the past two decades and why Germany has suffered the most severe industrial consequences.
We examine the decline of Germany's auto, chemical, and machinery sectors, and the strategic lessons every Western economy should learn from Germany's tragic experience.

@KenCao_onChina Early warning from many years ago, but globalization ideology and potential hudge Chinese market fooled Germany. At end they lost everything and bet more and more into it
English

Germany just became the clearest case study and cautionary tale of what happens when an industrial powerhouse mistakes dependency for partnership.
Look at the world's three biggest manufacturing powers: the US, Japan, and Germany.
All three faced the rise of Chinese manufacturing. Only one took the full hit.
The US moved first. It built tariff walls, restricted strategic imports, and effectively shut Chinese cars out of its domestic market with massive duties. Whether people agree with the policy or not, American industry bought itself time.
Japan learned from years of economic and political friction. Companies diversified supply chains, reduced dependence on China, and prepared for strategic competition long before it became fashionable.
Germany did the opposite.
Instead of building resilience, it built dependence.
Now the consequences are everywhere.
Its automotive dominance is under pressure as Chinese EV makers combine scale, speed, and lower costs.
Its chemical industry lost one of its biggest advantages after cheap Russian energy disappeared, forcing major firms to shift production and investment abroad.
Its machinery sector—the traditional backbone of German manufacturing—is now competing against Chinese equipment that often sells for dramatically lower prices.
Even green technology, once viewed as a European strength, has become an area where China dominates global manufacturing capacity.
The lesson isn't about ideology. It's about industrial strategy.
Countries that recognized strategic competition early adapted.
Countries that assumed economic integration alone would guarantee mutual prosperity discovered that markets don't stand still.
For decades, Germany believed deeper engagement with China would produce a lasting win-win relationship.
Instead, it found itself competing against an industrial system that scaled faster, invested harder, and captured larger portions of global manufacturing.
Industrial leadership isn't permanent.
Competitive advantages expire.
Supply chains become strategic.
And policies that look profitable during globalization can become liabilities when geopolitical realities change.
History rewards those who can recognize quickly that the game has changed.

@eurofounder that will solve all the world problems, cheer up Europeans!

How to raise a successful European child:
1. Do not allow them to use American technology
2. When they turn 6yo, enroll them in gender studies
3. Purchase only EU-certified, wooden toys
4. Make them apologize daily for being white
5. Tell them stories how America will collapse any day now
6. Raise them to believe hard work is a crime
7. If you have a daughter, expose her to date immigrant men
8. Encourage your son to be gay. Being heterosexual is very far-right
9. When they fail at anything, say it’s America’s fault

It is NOT China that is deindustrializing Germany. It is Germany itself. Of course China is taking the opportunity to expand its industries, but Germany is the one on the driver seat.
In 2024, a Chinese official told me, "we love the German greens. They are committing energy and industrial suicide, this is so good for our industries."
Germany has the world most stupid energy policy, and still insists on it despite of its obvious failures. No other country but Germany itself is responsible for this biggest driver of de-industrialization in the country.
