Despite a recovery in July, the U.S. dollar is likely to weaken in the next 12 months, pressured by lower growth and policy uncertainty. These losses follow a 15-year bull run for the U.S. currency.

Trump Accidentally Admits He Screwed MAGA Voters as Economy Dips Again
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump unleashed a strange Truth Social rant declaring straight out that farmers are getting hurt because China is not buying soybeans. Of course, Trump’s own trade wars are the reason for this, so he in effect admitted that…
The world has completely lost it
Prices don’t feel right anymore. Everything feels like robbery. Growing up, I always had a threshold in the back of my mind for prices of things where if we reached it, it wouldn’t be worth paying for things anymore, and now we have reached that. This is not about being poor and needing to work your way up, I have no desire to work my way up anymore when I see how horrible things have gotten. This is about prices making sense. Everywhere I look, it’s like companies take a moment to say “f*** you” to the customers before they price their products. Even if I had an extra million dollars, I don’t think I would feel okay paying many of the prices I’m seeing these days, that’s why I’m holding onto my money even when I can afford stuff. This is ridiculous.
P.S. I'm fresh out of college and live with my parents, and believe me, I am f***ed if they kick me out.

Due to Trump’s Economy and Tariffs I haves moved into my local IKEA
Rent and cost of living issues have caused me to move into my local IKEA. I started by hiding under one of the beds in the apartment living section. I came in 1 hour before closing. I pretended to shop for an hour with a bag, and then a few minutes before the 30 minute closing warning, I hid under one of the beds. I have my car parked elsewhere away from the storefront as to not arose suspicion. Anyway, I was able to hide under the sheets for the entire night. Before opening, I hid in one of the beautiful full sized cabinets. No one noticed me. I ate breakfast in the Swedish restaurant, and subsequently washed up in the bathrooms in the downstairs corner. I’ve been doing this for about two weeks now, saving a lot in rent in the mean time. However, I’ve had a few close calls. It started when I got addicted to the Swedish meatballs. In short, I got super plugged up, and started farting like crazy. Night time security almost caught me mid fart, so I had to hold a painful gassy one for 30 minutes. Luckily, the guard had fallen asleep in another corner of the store so they didn’t hear me erupt. Does anyone have any suggestions on where else to hide? I think they’re on to me after my farting escapade last Thursday.
