FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE!
Click through for a nifty little slide show video I put together just for you - it has glitches but go easy on me, it's my first one. 
Also there's a link about Nobel Laureate Geoffrey Hinton, and his prognosis for AI - some good, some scary.
Lastly, my plea for your financial support, sorely needed.

Larger #funding cuts would have even greater effects. A 50% reduction in funding would lower #GDP nearly 7.6%, the researchers estimate, & a 75% cut would reduce it 11.3% — a larger decline than in any recession since the #GreatDepression.

FDR was elected in the midst of #TheGreatDepression. #NaziDon inherited 4.2% #unemployment and is CAUSING the next #Depression via his stupidity.

Mechanic Economic ‘Miracle?’ Yup, but not the way we expected!
Hannah Erin Lang of the Wall Street Journal reported that “the #Trump rout is taking on historic dimensions.”
She noted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average “is headed for its worst April performance since 1932,” when the country was in the midst of the #GreatDepression.
Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Horizon Investments, told Lang: “It’s impossible to commit capital to an economy that is unstable and unknowable because of policy structure.”

Today in Labor History April 14, 1935: The Black Sunday dust storm swept across the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. This was one of the worst storms of the Dust Bowl. 4 years later, on this same date, John Steinbeck published his classic working-class novel, The Grapes of Wrath, about Dust Bowl refugees in California.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting two individuals, presumably from an earlier era given the style of their clothing.

“All this suggests a failure to look around corners — which is hardly new in the American presidency. #HerbertHoover signed the #Smoot_Hawleytariffs in June 1930, thinking they would help create jobs, then went fishing. They instead accelerated the #GreatDepression.”

Quartz · Stocks could do something today that hasn't happened since the Great Depression
Make America ‘Great’ Again
The only thing Trump is doing is deliberately driving the economy into the dirt for a second ‘Great’ Depression.
After that there’s only a third world war.
Tired of winning yet, America?
Who is Donald Trump going to blame for the upcoming Recession?
Someone needs to tell him that ‘great’, like in Great Depression., Is not ‘great’.
Wall Street thinks Trump's tariffs will eat Main Street alive
“It’s hard to think of any occasion when America dealt itself such a self-inflicted economic wound.
Silver Bulletin wasn’t around for the Smoot-Hawley tariffs of 1930, which helped to catalyze the #GreatDepression. But the tariffs that President #Trump announced just after markets closed on Wednesday, which triggered the fifth-largest point drop in the history of the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Thursday — with further massive losses underway today — are bigger than #SmootHawley.”

*IMPORTANT #GreatDepression2.0*
If you haven't studied economics or haven't lived through the 1930's, I strongly recommend listening to today's #TheIntelligence #Podcast of #TheEconomist about the disastrous #SmootHawleyTariffAct of 1930.
It has been done before and the results boosted the #GreatDepression, which was milder in very few nations, such as Japan.
To keep the picture: the #TrumpTariffs are #MacroeconomicSepuku:
