Peter Thiel co-founded PayPal with Elon Musk, set up Palantir and is a billionaire Trump donor and anarcho-capitalist, he also funded Pronomos Capital whose CEO is Patri Friedman (grandson of Milton Friedman, Thatcher’s favourite right wing economist) developing private Governance frameworks via SEZs aka charter cities. Public services are small potatoes, ‘countrypreneurship’. Thiel, Friedman, Tom Bell, Shanker Singham (the brains behind Brexit) and many more have fused anarcho -capitis with libertarianism, their ultimate aim is to build privately-owned city-states around the world. Pronomos Capital is a venture fund backed by libertarian billionaire Peter Thiel; it’s also working with the Charter Cities Institute, who have published a 266 page guide book on corporate governance in private cities. pronomos.vc/people

Financialisation is an insider’s game. Over 90% of market cap value is held by 10% of Americans. The stock exchange is a redistributive mechanism.

Layoffs in the US are surging: US-based employers announced 55,597 job cuts in October, a 51% jump compared to October 2023. This follows 174,597 job cuts reported in Q3 2024, 19% higher than Q3 2023, according to Challenger, Gray and Christmas data. Year-to-date, job cut announcements are now at a massive 664,839, the most since the 2020 pandemic. Outside of the pandemic, planned layoffs are now at their highest since the 2008 Financial Crisis. Technology, health care, and manufacturing companies have been the primary drivers of layoffs this year. We expect higher unemployment into 2025.

BREAKING: 20% of US small businesses have seen sales drop over the last 3 months, the most since the 2020 pandemic. This is a worse reading than during the 2001 and 1991 recessions, according to NFIB data. This is also the 29th consecutive month of declining sales, the longest streak since the 2008 Financial Crisis. At the same time, the small business uncertainty index spiked to 110 points, the highest level on record. Small businesses cite inflation and the labor market as their biggest issues. US small businesses are in a recession.

Inflation has made childcare into a luxury: Over the last 40 years, childcare prices are up 873%, massively outpacing other major cost of living categories. By comparison, housing, food, and transportation inflation has risen 350%, 332%, and 268%, respectively. At the same time, nationwide CPI inflation has jumped by 315% over this period, less than half of childcare inflation. As a result, the majority of the US regions have now annual daycare costs that require 15% of the median household income, with some nearing 25%. Childcare is no longer affordable for many Americans.
