Yeah it's confirmed- they're moving forwards with it. Has a summit a few weeks ago. They're holding joint military drills now too. Meanwhile the dollar is struggling to control the short end of the yield curve. Gold has outperformed the stock market, etc.
Immediately preceding the FBI MSFT antitrust probe a bunch of them sold their shares.
Immediately preceding FDA approval for medical treatments being researched by unknown microcaps, you guessed it, congressional purchasing.

Boomers are a very selfish and entitled generation- perhaps the worst in history. They inherited the wealthiest empire in human history and yet somehow managed to saddle their children with incomprehensible debt all the while refusing to leave the workforce for an extra decade or two thus resulting in no transition of power or opportunity to establish generational leadership.

I'm not saying I think there will be real growth but nominally I don't see asset prices contracting until they reign in the currency
