My recent time in the US highlighted America as a Schrödinger’s box of newsfeeds—some real, some illusory, some buried deep before they even hit trending. You pick your algorithm and hope it’s not lying to you.
Anyway, the love story between Cara and Oliver gets overtaken by this. It is what’s gone into the novel(or real life, hard to tell anymore):
• Trumpi’s Infinite Money Glitch – Every 100 days, like clockwork, another $1Trillion gets printed, flipped into bonds, and force-fed to the market. But the market’s full. It’s like trying to sell bottled water in a rainstorm. The dollar starts looking… fragile.
• Gold’s Canary in the Coalmine – Gold prices creep up. Always do before a crash. It’s like seeing a cat bolt from a room and then realising there was an earthquake five seconds later. Meanwhile, Brazil and Saudi switch to Chinese Yuan. De-dollarization isn’t a what-if anymore.
• Government Cuts = Less Money = Duh – The US is cutting budgets, and suddenly everyone rediscovers Econ 101: no spending = no growth = bad corporate earnings. They’ll act surprised. They shouldn’t.
• Trumpi’s Chaos Premium – Markets like stability. Trumpi is the opposite of stability. The world’s biggest economy behaving like a rogue state? Not great for confidence.
• Taiwan Strait Trouble = No More Chips – China might stop playing passive in Taiwan. If that happens, they’ll cut their own supply chain to the US. No chips. No consumer goods. No new iPhones. America panics.
• Musk’s Final Form – By May 2025, Tesla isn’t just a car company anymore. It’s an energy utility. Globally. Like the missing piece in the Monopoly game he’s been playing all along.
I’m writing it down, but let’s be honest—the book’s already writing itself. And I know, it'll need a new cover.
