This article was originally published by Frank Shostak at The Mises Institute.  There is a high likelihood that, due to the past large decline in the yearly growth rate of the money supply, the US economy is heading towards an economic bust. Note that the yearly growth rate of money supply fell from 79 percent in February 2021 to minus 7 percent by May 2023. The sharp decline in the yearly momentum of money supply is starting to hurt various activities that emerged on the back of the huge increases in the money supply between August 2019 and February 2021, from minus 1 percent to 79 percent. It is likely that the effect of this massive increase is still dominating the present state of economic activity (see chart). As time goes by, however, the effect of the huge decline in money supply growth is increasingly likely to assert itself on economic activity. As a result, various bubble activities are likely to crumble. The reason for this is that the diversion of savings to them from wealth-generators will weaken due to the decline in money supply growth. Consequently, various bubble activities will be deprived of the funds they have relied upon…

Brexton Busch, the 11-year-old son of the late NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, suffered heartbreak on the final lap in his return to racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway.Busch led the majority of Tuesday’s Summer Shootout, but came up just short after being passed on the final turn by Landon Thrasher.It was Brexton’s first race back since his father died late last month just days before he was set to race at Charlotte in the Coca-Cola 600. Busch, 41, died May 21 after a battle with pneumonia turned into sepsis. The two-time NASCAR champion collapsed during a simulator session the Wednesday of race week, and was rushed to the hospital. He died the next day.The entire Busch family including Brexton, mother Samantha and his sister, Lennix, were honored during an emotional pre-race ceremony last month. That was the last time any of the Busches made a public appearance until last week, when Brexton returned to Charlotte for practice ahead of Tuesday’s race.KYLE BUSCH’S 11-YEAR-OLD SON TAKES BIG STEP IN RACING WORLD NEARLY TWO WEEKS AFTER HIS DAD’S STUNNING DEATHFather of Kyle Busch leads laps, tooFirst of all, what a solid pass by Landon Thrasher.

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — The United States has been selling advanced weapons to Taiwan for years, with large American contractors churning out more of the higher-end equipment than the island could ever produce alone for its defense against its military rival China.Now Taiwan, an all-purpose manufacturing hub since the 1980s with an emphasis on high-tech hardware, is positioning to sell homegrown drones to the U.S. military so it can avoid the dominant Chinese supply chain, analysts and recent transactions indicate.“Foreign governments value Taiwanese drones mainly because of Taiwan’s strong information and communication technologies foundation and its role as a trusted supply chain partner,” said Lee Yi-ching, an analyst with the Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute in Taipei.“From a supply-chain perspective, Western countries have increasingly prioritized reducing their reliance on Chinese drones and Chinese-made components,” Lee said. “Amid concerns over information security, wartime supply chain resilience and national security, the trustworthiness of component sources has become an important factor for Western governments when evaluating drone suppliers.”China-headquartered DJI makes at least 70% of the world’s commercial and civilian-use drones, including for American consumers.On June 4, the de-facto U.S. embassy in Taiwan said the Virginia-based Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International and…

It’s Wednesday, which means that it’s time to take inventory of everything we hate in another edition of The Gripe Report.Last week, in an edition some are calling “historic,” “monumental,” and “meh, it was something good to read on the can,” I talked about some of my biggest food gripes.Stuff like restaurants that insist on planks of wood being better than good old-fashioned plates (they’re not), foods with outlandish flavors meant to make you go, “Whoa, that’s weird,” and how brunch just isn’t what it used to be. So, I figured it was time to toss the keys to readers who wrote in with their opinions on some of these topics and more.Brunch Sucks (His Words, Not Mine)Let’s start with the ruining of what is a great concept on paper — brunch — with some takes from Brunch-hater Jim:I’m 56.  My dad died 17 years ago.  He hated brunch until the day he died, and he passed it to me.  His feeling was that you couldn’t get a project started in the morning if you had to go to brunch.  And by the time you got home, there wasn’t enough time to get one done (not to mention the issue…

Raising Cane’s owner and founder Todd Graves recently admitted he doesn’t like the coleslaw served at his own chicken-finger chain.Graves made the revelation in an Instagram interview in which content creator Joe Bonham asked him his Cane’s order.”Box Combo, no slaw, extra toast and extra sauce,” the CEO replied.FAST-FOOD MENU ITEMS THAT CHEFS LIKE TO EAT”You don’t do any coleslaw?” Bonham asked.”I don’t like the coleslaw, man, that’s why I trade it out,” Graves replied. Bonham told Graves nobody likes the coleslaw, and Graves shrugged.”Every once in a while, I get somebody that likes it, but I’m not crazy about coleslaw, so trade it out for toast,” he said.”If you try to be all things to all people, you aren’t great to anyone.” Bonham followed up by asking whose idea it was to add the coleslaw.Graves said he wanted a “vegetable component to the meal,” and that coleslaw is “a Southern thing, but I don’t care for it.”The viral video garnered 8.5 million views, 457,000 likes and over 4,000 comments.TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZSeveral commenters agreed with the sentiment expressed by one Instagram user: “Love an honest CEO.””He’s one of…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Within the next ten years, there could be a humanoid robot in virtually every American home and workplace. They will hear and see everything. This is our future. But, a key question remains: will these omnipresent robots be American or Chinese-made? Ensuring that the United States wins the robotics race is both a national security and economic imperative. Both the administration and Congress are now working to address this challenge. Properly calibrated, these efforts demand broad bipartisan support and swift execution.Increasingly, robots represent the place where AI meets the physical world. Large, stationary single-purpose robots will be replaced by general purpose humanoids that can learn and complete virtually any task. The potential benefits to productivity, efficiency, and safety are astounding.Imagine a humanoid robot that can care for an aging parent, serve as a personal chef, or assist a surgeon during a complex procedure. These machines will enter burning buildings, clean up nuclear waste, work deep-sea pipelines, and staff dangerous and repetitive roles in American manufacturing that often cost workers their health and their lives. Goldman Sachs projects that the humanoid robot market could reach $38 billion by 2035. The companies and countries…

BLUE HILL, Maine – Graham Platner, the progressive left, and Donald Trump appear to be the big winners in Tuesday’s high-profile primaries in Maine and South Carolina.Platner, the oyster farmer and military combat veteran who has been facing plenty of incoming fire amid mounting controversies, cruised to the Democratic nomination Tuesday in left-leaning Maine and will now face longtime moderate Republican Sen.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A federal judge on Tuesday permanently blocked Alabama executing death row inmate Jeffrey Lee with nitrogen gas after finding that it violates the U.S. Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.U.S. District Judge Emily C. Marks handed down the ruling hours after an appeals court reversed her initial finding that the controversial execution method was constitutional. She permanently barred the state from using nitrogen gas to execute Jeffrey Lee, 49, who was scheduled to be put to death on Thursday.The judge wrote that the appeals court found the method carried “a substantial risk of serious harm.” A three-judge panel from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday said the three minutes that it could take for an inmate to lose awareness is an “intolerable” time frame, “given the suffering that would likely take place under Alabama’s nitrogen hypoxia protocol.”Marks also ruled that the state could change the form of execution to Lee’s preferred method, which is a firing squad. Inmates challenging execution methods must suggest an alternative method.ALABAMA DEATH ROW INMATE INSISTS INNOCENCE, URGES GOVERNOR TO MEET HIM BEFORE NITROGEN-GAS EXECUTION “Therefore, Lee has shown by a preponderance of the…

Titus pointed to her experience in Congress and her record on issues important to Southern Nevada voters, including tourism, transportation and veterans affairs, helping her win the Democratic primary.MINIVAN MOM PUTS DEM INCUMBENT ON NOTICE IN TOP GOP TARGET DISTRICT: ‘SHE HAS DONE NOTHING FOR US’ First elected to Congress in 2008 from Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, Titus returned to the House in 2012 after redistricting reshaped Nevada’s congressional map.
