The best summary of inflation reality that I've yet read
If you're still not sure why inflation is bad, or what it's doing to the value of your money, you need to click over to Aesop's place and read his brutally acerbic article "Economics 101: Inflation". This is why: From 1932 to present, decoupled from actual gold backing, the Fed has stolen 98.9 cents on every dollar via inflation, by printing literal trillions of dollars of fiatbux, backed by nothing but love and kisses. The dollar bill in your pocket is worth less than its actual cost in ink, paper, and printing press energy to make. It's finely-engraved toilet paper. Inflati... read more

U.S. to Provide ‘Livelihood Support’ to the Lebanese Military
*Trevor Filseth* *Lebanese Military, Middle East* Direct cash payments are seen as a way to stabilize Lebanon's military amid a massive economic crisis in the country. As part of its aid package for Lebanon, the U.S. Department of State announced on Monday that it had agreed to provide $67 million in aid to the Lebanese Armed Forces. Most notably, the aid package will include “livelihood support” payments rather than standard military equipment transfers.

*Saeed Ghasseminejad* *Persian Gulf, Middle East* American proponents of abandoning the Persian Gulf often cite the need to pivot to Asia.
