Today’s show begins with an analysis of the just announced passage by Congress and Dems preventing a railroad strike—the 19th time Congress has intervened to prevent a strike. The pro-corporate actual nature of the Biden administration is made clear by the action. What has happened since September to the present. The show then addresses the Biden-Macron press conference and talk of an emerging UKS-EU trade war over US subsidies to US corporations in the Chip and Inflation Reduction Acts this year. Did Biden cave in to Macron? What does the US tech trade war with China have to do with it all? Finally, Fed chair Powell’s press conference this past week and the jobs numbers out today.
