PART 2: HOW ROBUST IS THE AI BUBBLE AND WITH IT SPENDING?

This is the second article which should be read together with the earlier article on inequality. In the earlier article I pointed out how the top 10% of income earners now consume half of what is produced because of rising inequality. Further, that their propensity to consume is contingent on capital gains in the markets, much of which is driven by the rising values of AI corporate shares. It therefore follows that any collapse in shares will in turn impact personal consumption as the top income earners, feeling poorer, retrench. This article looks at that likelihood. Both articles will appear on theleftlane.media website.

TWO ARTICLES FOR THE theleftlane.media WEBSITE

I am an editor for theleftlane.media website which can be found here Home – The Left Lane. It is a new and exciting 24/7 website for the left which launched May the 1st and hopefully it will become increasingly influential. I urge my readers to log on and read the many interesting and topical articles to be found there.

THE CURIOUS BEHAVIOUR OF GOLD DURING THE IRAN WAR.

TRUMP FIRES HIS BB GUN AGAIN – BLUSTER AND BLUFF.

THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ TURNS INTO DIRE STRAITS FOR THE WORLD ECONOMY.

I was going to wait for the markets to open on Monday to analyse the effect of a closed Straits of Hormuz on the oil and stock markets. But in this war there have been so many sudden moves that it is impossible to say whether or not the Straits will still be closed by the time the markets open on Monday. But if the Straits remain closed there is going to be a bloodbath on the international markets, a salutary lesson for all those speculators jumping on the wagon to make an early buck based on rumour even if that rumour comes from the President.

SHARPENING THE PROPAGANDA STRUGGLE BY UNDERSTANDINGHOW THE BRAIN WORKS, AND HOW THE CAPITALISTSTAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY.

This article is written in anticipation of the large march in London on the 28th March organised by the Left and the Unions in opposition to the growth of the far-right. It seeks to provoke a discussion on how we understand the growth of the far-right and how we challenge it, not through dismissing those who have gravitated to the right, but how that path was prepared for them by the betrayals of the major Political Parties and the media. This article adds an additional element often overlooked, how the ruling class and their propagandists exploit evolutionary advantages to achieve these goals.

A comrade who has a subscription to Claude AI (Google) fed my article into the programme and this is what it came up with. In some ways it is sharper, more focused as well as accentuating the political. Impressive.
