ZERO HEDGE  ECONOMICS
Neoliberal globalization is over. Financiers know it, they documented with graphics

Markets never discount today, they discount tomorrow. And no sooner had they taken a little peek at what prices looked like back on January 1st then they began to plunge.
Now that the process is largely complete, even a modest market wobble threatens to devastate the real economy. And Powell is now helpless, caught in a trap of the Fed’s making.

MUST READ Doct Below:
US Treasury debt has increased by $2.86 trillion in 2020 (most of it in the past three months) less than the $3.0 trillion increase in the Fed's balance sheet over the same period.
 Fed continues to lie and last week when Powell said that "inequality has been with us for increasingly for four decades" .. arguing that monetary policy is not a cause for that. What he forgot to mention is that four decades ago is when the Nixon closed the gold window....
SEE CHART:

... severing the last link of the US dollar to tangible value, and allowing the Fed to print with impunity, creating the current wealth divide which has now spilled over into the streets of America.
SEE CHART:

One other thing the Fed has been consistently lying about is that it does not monetize the debt. The chart below is evidence that this, too, is a lie, with US Treasury debt increasing by $2.86 trillion in 2020 (most of it in the past three months) which is less than the $3.0 trillion increase in the Fed's balance sheet over the same period. In other words, the Fed has monetized 105% of all Treasury issuance this year.

So although Powell may never admit it, Helicopter Money, also known as "MMT", is now here, and will never go away as Deutsche Bank hinted earlier. 
So without further ado, here is...
"MMT Going Mainstream…" by Kuppy of 'Adventures in Capitalism'
And speaking of MMT, below we republish the latest article from ADVENTURES IN CAPITALISM discussing how MMT is Going Mainstream.

Inequality has soared over the last several months with billionaires seeing huge gains in their wealth while many people are getting slammed.
You are not alone if you are having difficulty reconciling the growing divide between Wall Street markets that seem totally ignoring economic reality...

 Many of the American's that are now experiencing the slip into this economic quagmire and rough times will tell you, "I never thought it would happen to me." In the end, it is likely a great number of these people will become a burden to society.
SEE CHART:
The fruit of Financialization: Soaring Income Inequality

 What is broadly termed the middle class is all too often just lumped into a diverse group labeled the 99%. In truth, many of these people are dirt poor. Much of this centers around just how out of touch our "professional elite" are with the general population and the economy. By our professional elite, I refer to those who make the rules and their minions, their aids, the academics, the financial institutions, economists, and the media, all of which have tied their wagon to the status quo. Conflict and corruption also enter into this because we often find those setting the rules also tend to want a bigger piece of the pie.
This growth in inequality is a "pox on the house" of society. For decades the rich and powerful have been increasingly grabbing a larger slice of the economic pie. A great deal of growing corporate profits come from cutting back on the greatest expense businesses have to pay and that is labor. This is and will substantially increase in coming years as robots displace humans in the workforce.
Current trends indicate the "equality gap" is not expected to narrow in the future. Growing income inequality is not just an American problem but it is an issue across the globe and no magic or silver bullet exists to address the conundrum brought about by this concentration of power and wealth.
One thing is certain and that is, those that have taken to the streets in protest will tell you, whatever actions society takes, those on the receiving end will complain that "It ain't enough."

US Class & Tractor Net Orders & Spot Rates
As for individual company performance, Transport Topics reported:
·         Volvo Trucks North America earned an 11.8% share with 1,084 sales, or60.2% fewer compared with a year earlier.
·         Mack Trucks posted a 9.6% share on 879 sales, or 51.5% fewer compared with a year earlier.

Recall, April's numbers were the lowest since FTR began tracking orders in 1996.
Many companies canceled or delayed new orders as demand, measured by the ratio of loads to trucks, fell 66% in April. 
TFI's Chief Executive Alain Bédard said in an April 22 call: “Everything has been canceled.”

FALSE FLAG Agst AOC?
The Park chester Times-sponsored debate is the same one that Rep. Joseph Crowley skipped before he was dethroned by AOC in 2018. Could history repeat itself?

This seems to me an intentional-stupid-assumption. It is up to AOC to take it. IF AOC take it: check her weak  history  & attack relentless her weakest point.

Future historians will be astonished to ruminate about what we did here...Slogans like “flatten the curve” massively oversimplify social processes and human choices, and presume to know far too much about cause and effect...
…..
Flatten the curve is a negation of Hegel basic principle of social development. To Hegel: development proceeds not in straight line and not in closed circle, but in ascending line and in spiral. Only to Nazis occurred the idea of flattening the curve and they were defeated (flattened).  
 Regarding  cause & effect, their analysis & synthesis  go hand on hand.  But, one concentrates in an element of the system and the other in the interaction between diff elements (or parts).  In analytic approaches time & space doesn’t  count much, except saying that cause precede effect.  In systemic appr it is the interaction between them (different elements)  that count more, specially the effects of interactions. One emphasizes the precision of details in a particular case and the other in its global perception. One focus on inputs  and the other in dynamic conversion of inputs into outputs.  These are the basis on cause-effect relation.

YES, estamos iniciando un proceso revolucionario que puede ir mas allá de lo que logro FDR via alianza entre Labor y Capital productivo (no el Cap especulat al que FDR expropio y gravo con taxes). Si integramos al capital medio en los New Deals,  podemos lograr un socialism Americano sui generis. Creo que puedo terminar mi libro “Perspectivs of Socialism in America”antes de las elecciones de NOV, si ocurren.

SEE CHART:
Police Expending per Capita in major US Cities

Out of the city's operating budget more than a quarter of funding is allocated to policing, some $536 million. Spending on policing per person is the highest of any major city in U.S. at $904. By comparison the figure in New York was $672 while it was $436 in Los Angeles.
The report notes that police funding levels increased in all cities analyzed in the 2017 report (though 2020 data was not available for Minneapolis) and the figures for new cities included in the analysis show that some reform has occurred. Milwaukee is noted as an example where grassroots groups successfully demanded police divestment, which has happened, and the police department's budget is now lower than in previous years.
SEE CHART:
How much do US Cities spend on Policins?

NYPD's $5.6 billion budget accounting for 7.7 percent of New York City's general fund.  The share of the general fund is far higher in other cities such as Los Angeles. 
The share is even higher in CHICAGO at 37 percent with the total police budget approximately $1.68 billion. In Minneapolis, the city where George Floyd lost his life, the 2017 data shows that the police budget accounted for 35.8 percent of the general fund, totalling $163 million.

US-WORLD  ISSUES (Geo Econ, Geo Pol & global Wars)
Global depression is on…China, RU, Iran search for State socialis+K-, D rest in limbo

Excuse my  ‘xenophobia’ IF ANY. I don’t publish US data about China if not neutral.. 
...we suspect today’s numbers will be over shadowed by fears of a resurgence of the pandemic in Beijing (and Guangzhou)
Earlier in the month, the manufacturing PMIs suggested some further stabilization, though not much of a strengthening last month. Exports dropped, though by less than anticipated, at -3.3% year-on-year, while imports tumbled hard, with a 16.7% slide.
And then the big China data dump hit:
·         Industrial Production -2.8% YTD YoY (slightly better than the expected 3% drop and an improvement on last last month)
·         Retail Sales -13.5% YTD YoY (matched expectations and improved from the 16.2% drop last month)
·         Fixed Asset Investment -6.3% YTD YoY (worse than the expected 6.0% drop but an improvement over last month)
·         Property Investment -0.3% YTD YoY (better than the 0.8% drop expected and a big improvement from the 3.3% drop last month)
·         Surveyed Jobless Rate 5.9% (as expected and better than the 6.0% last month)
SEE CHART:

And as Chris Anstey, Bloomberg's Managing Editor, Asia Cross-Asset Markets, warned, it's "hard to see how GDP comes in positive for the second quarter, now that we’ve got two of the three months worth of data."
Of course, none of this should be a massive surprise as, once again, China has injected unprecedented amounts of credit into the economy to keep the mirage of growth alive and maintain a semblance of social cohesion...

In a few minutes, the market's mood may shift again after China reports key economic data for May, expected to show a continued improvement after the world’s second-largest economy. Officials moved a press briefing online due to the latest virus outbreak in Beijing.
In FX, the yen edged up 0.1% to 107.29 per dollar; the offshore yuan slipped 0.2% to 7.0890 per dollar, and the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose 0.1%.
The yield on 10-year Treasuries fell about three basis points to 0.67%, and is again approaching the April lows of 0.54% after printing shy of 1% two weeks ago amid a burst of reopening hopes that sent value stocks surging

43 million people in the US now live below the poverty line, twice as many as 50 years ago. 1.5 million children are homeless, three times more than during the Great Depression the 1930s. Entire families are tossed from one place to another to work unstable jobs that barely allow them to survive. In the historically poor Appalachian mining region, people rely on food stamps. In Los Angeles, the number of homeless people has increased dramatically. In the poorest neighborhoods, associations offer small wooden huts to those who no longer have a roof to live under.
