The Re-Shoring Lie: Why Manufacturing Job Losses Persist Despite the Rhetoric
In 2025, U.S. manufacturing employment did not experience a revival — it continued to decline. By year-end, the sector posted negative net growth, with an estimated 70,000 to 100,000 jobs lost overall. After brief stabilization earlier in the year, the final eight months saw consistent monthly job losses, reflecting weakening demand, trade policy uncertainty, and […]

Militarized Aid, Extremist Contractors, and Surveillance Power: Ongoing Scrutiny of GHF, ICE, and Palantir
As of early 2026, multiple investigative reports and advocacy groups have raised concerns about the intersection of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza, private security contractors, extremist affiliations, and U.S. immigration enforcement technologies.

Producer Prices Surge as Tariff Pass-Through Accelerates: Affordability Pressures Are Building
Today’s Producer Price Index (PPI) report came in not only high, but above already elevated expectations. U.S. producer prices posted their largest monthly gain in five months — a clear signal that cost pressures inside the supply chain are intensifying. This should not be surprising. Tariffs function as a tax on imports. When imposed, they […]
AI, Immigration, and Productivity
by Daniel Brouse January 29, 2026 Protectionist, nationalist, and anti-immigration economic policies are interacting with — and in some cases accelerating — the rapid deployment of artificial intelligence and automation technologies. Trillions of dollars in public and private capital are now being directed toward AI infrastructure, robotics, machine learning systems, and computational hardware. These investments […]

Gold at $5,100: The Moment Gold Surpassed the Dollar
Gold prices surged to a record high above $5,100 per ounce on Monday, January 26, 2026. The rally has been fueled by a weakening U.S. dollar, intensifying geopolitical instability, and powerful safe-haven demand from both private investors and central banks. But this is no ordinary commodity spike. As of January 2026, gold has officially overtaken […]
Trump’s Bankruptcies and the Road to Russia
Regarding the so-called “peace negotiations” with Russia, this seems like an appropriate moment for a brief refresher on finance and economic incentives. Trump’s long history of bankruptcies matters here. After repeatedly stiffing lenders and investors, he effectively ran out of credible financing options in the U.S. and much of Europe.
