Greens work wonders in local Government shaking up the status quo and refocusing services towards local people, not pandering to the whims of corporate vested interests.

Part of David Lammy’s constituency has just voted with its feet.

Why don’t you join them next month?

#Senate #Democrats just held a press conference on #Trump's #tariff announcement & his admin's policy.

Sen Kirsten Gillibrand said: “Because of this #chaos, this #incompetence & this carelessness, he has wiped out trillions of dollars from the #US #economy.”

Standing alongside her, Senate Minority Leader #ChuckSchumer said: “You can't undo the damage. The #TrumpSlump is upon us now, & whatever he will try to do in the future does not undo the damage.”

@mckra1g I agree with the idea of #TrumpSlump but “slump” is too understated. It needs more severity. Perhaps #TrumpCrash
#TrumpPurge
#TrumpDump
#TrumpTravesty
#TrumpFolly

Can somebody ELI5 if we're headed for inflation or deflation now? Tariffs would seem to indicate raised prices (so inflation in the short term, at least). But I can also see the effects on the stock market as people moving from stocks to cash (= hoarding?). The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 caused the Great Depression, which was a period marked by _deflation_. What's the right way to think about this..?
