Now that SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and president Donald Trump are no longer seeing eye to eye, the White House is struggling to undercut the richest man in the world's influence in Washington, DC. As the Wall Street Journal reports, Trump aides initiated a review of SpaceX contracts with the federal government to identify potential waste. However, their efforts were largely in vain since most of the contracts were seen as critical to the Defense Department and NASA, sources told the WSJ. The Trump administration is also looking to expand its search to look for alternative contractors for its Golden [...]

FDA Approved Moderna COVID Shot For Kids Behind Kennedy's Back - Two HHS Aides Fired Authored by Jon Fleetwood via JonFleetwood.com,The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quietly granted full approval to Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 injection for children while Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was on vacation - and without his knowledge or consent.As head of the department overseeing the FDA, Kennedy should have been directly informed of any decision involving pediatric mRNA shots—especially one as politically and medically sensitive as full approval for children as young as six months.On July 10, Moderna, Inc. announced the FDA approved the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Spikevax®, the Company’s COVID shot, in “children 6 months through 11 years of age who are at increased risk for COVID-19 disease.”The approval was made despite Moderna’s own scientists’ admission that there are “unacceptable toxicity” levels in mRNA vaccines, and that “lipid nanoparticle structural components, production methods, route of administration and proteins produced from complexed mRNAs all present toxicity concerns.”It was also made without Secretary Kennedy’s knowledge.According to multiple sources, neither Kennedy nor his Deputy Chief of Staff Stefanie Spears were briefed or consulted ahead of the decision, raising alarm over internal operations at one of the nation’s most powerful health agencies.Only July 16, White House correspondent and media host Emerald Robinson reported on Twitter/X that FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary “did not inform @RobertKennedyJr (who was on vacation) or his office that FDA was going to approve the mRNA shots for children,” citing sources familiar with the matter.On July 17, CNN reported that Secretary Kennedy had fired two of his top aides “in an abrupt shakeup of the leadership at the nation’s sprawling health department,” also citing unnamed sources.“Kennedy’s chief of staff, Heather Flick Melanson, and deputy chief of staff for policy Hannah Anderson left HHS after only a handful of months on the job, following internal clashes that culminated in both of their removals this week,” the report explained.The CNN article didn’t connect the firings to the FDA’s decision to approve Moderna’s jab for kids.However, the MAHA PAC (Make America Healthy Again Political Action Committee)—a pro-Trump super PAC founded by RFK Jr.’s former staff to promote his health-focused agenda—corroborated Robinson’s account and connected the firings to the FDA’s Moderna decision.On July 20, MAHA PAC cited Dr. Robert Malone—now serving on the newly restructured ACIP vaccine panel—as confirming that neither Kennedy nor Spears were informed of the FDA’s decision regarding Moderna and that a major HHS leadership purge unfolded upon their return.“The unfortunate facts are that this decision... was made public when both the Secretary of HHS and his trusted deputy Chief of Staff Stefanie Spears were on vacation,” said Dr. Malone, citing insider knowledge. “Neither Sec. HHS nor his deputy Chief of Staff (dCOS) were briefed or read in on this decision.”The move apparently set off a chain reaction.According to Malone, shortly after Kennedy and Spears returned, “a major reorganization of HHS leadership occurred.”Anderson was “walked off the premises and was so upset that she crashed her car into the Secretary’s government-provided vehicle.”Melanson, a veteran of the Trump-era HHS, claimed she resigned voluntarily.CNN sources say otherwise, alleging she was fired after Kennedy lost confidence in her leadership following the dismissal of Anderson.A spokesperson for HHS said that Matt Buckham, the department’s White House liaison, will serve as acting Chief of Staff.The FDA’s end-run around Kennedy not only signals potential deeper insubordination within HHS, but also highlights a promising shift under his leadership—one where incompetence, secrecy, and disloyalty are no longer tolerated, and where restoring integrity, transparency, and public trust could be the new standard.Follow us on Instagram @realjonfleetwood & Twitter/X @JonMFleetwood.

That is, if you have dreams of working at America’s central bank.U.S. Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent on Monday questioned the Federal Reserve’s decision not to lower interest rates this year so far, given that the U.S. has “seen very little, if any, inflation.”“I think this idea of them not being able to break out of a certain mindset,” Bessent said, referring to Fed officials. “All these Ph.D.s over there, I don’t know what they do.”The headline number for June’s consumer price index was the highest since February.While navigating the job market has been a challenge regardless of qualifications, the stock market seems to be on a smooth path upward regardless of challenges.The S&P 500 broke the 6,300 closing level for the first time on Monday.

A study of affluent Chinese by Oliver Wyman found 22% were negative about the economy. It just exceeds the 21% seen in October 2022. Young people recorded the greatest drop in sentiment in May this year from April 2024. But many affluent Chinese are more keen to travel overseas than they were just before the pandemic.BEIJING — China’s affluent are feeling just as poorly about the economy as they did during the pandemic.That’s according to a study of affluent Chinese released this month by consulting firm Oliver Wyman, which found 22% of respondents were negative about the economy when surveyed in May. It just exceeds the 21% seen in October 2022, just before Beijing announced plans to ease its stringent zero-Covid policy.When asked about the five-year horizon, respondents were far less upbeat than they were back in 2022.“That to us is a fundamental shift in mindset,” Imke Wouters, partner at Oliver Wyman, told CNBC. “If you think, ‘I’m not having a good financial situation now,’ your spending, saving patterns will be very different.”“The longer this [drags] on, the more negative they become about the long term future and the more cautious they come on spending,” Wouters said.These findings come as China recorded a slowdown in retail sales growth, and persistent deflationary pressure as businesses slash prices to compete. Sliding prices in property, which accounts for the majority of household wealth, have also weighed on sentiment.Oliver Wyman’s research was conducted from May 16 to 27. The firm has conducted similar surveys over the last three years. The latest study covered 2,000 households with a monthly income of over 30,000 yuan ($4,180).That’s a fraction of consumers in China, where the per capita disposable income in urban areas for all of last year was 54,188 yuan. That’s far less than the $64,474 reported for the U.S. as of December.Young people the most pessimisticYoung people (aged 18 to 28) in the affluent income bracket who live in China’s largest cities were the most pessimistic of the four age categories, recording the greatest drop in sentiment in May this year from April 2024, the survey showed.The unemployment rate for those aged 16 to 24 has remained in the mid-teens despite the overall jobless rate remaining far lower at around 5%.Survey respondents aged 29 to 44 were the most optimistic, especially when it comes to their five-year outlook.In China, most of the wealth sits with millennials and Gen X, Wouters said, referring to those broadly between the ages of 30 and 60. She attributed their relative optimism to higher levels of accumulated wealth and job stability, as well as the sense that the “good old days” might return — a perspective she suggested might come with age.China’s official consumer confidence index has remained depressed since hitting a record low of 85 in November 2022, when China restricted movement in an effort to prevent Covid-19 outbreaks. The latest print was 88 as of May, according to the latest available data from the National Bureau of Statistics, accessed via Wind Information.People in China have become significantly discouraged by perceived “unequal opportunity,” which in 2023 became the No. 1 reason respondents believe people are poor, jumping from No. 6 nearly two decades ago. That’s according to the latest survey conducted in 2023 by a team of researchers led by Martin King Whyte of Harvard University and Scott Rozelle of Stanford University, who have been monitoring the shifts since 2004.The survey found that across all income brackets, more respondents thought their families’ economic situation had declined in 2023 compared with previous years.International travel is recoveringBut despite their negative sentiment on the economy, many affluent Chinese are more keen to travel internationally than they were just before the pandemic.Rather than spending on a luxury product, for example, they would rather “spend on something that can make [them feel] better now,” Wouters said.“You just want to enjoy the moment,” she said.Oliver Wyman predicts the share of affluent Chinese traveling internationally this year will reach 37%, above the 32% level seen in 2019, before the pandemic. So far, 27% of respondents have already traveled abroad, with 10% more expected to make a trip later this year.Still, affluent Chinese aren’t necessarily traveling back to pre-pandemic hot spots such as the United States, the report said, noting that they are sticking closer to home instead. Chinese travel to Malaysia and Japan has already made a full recovery to 2019 levels, Oliver Wyman’s analysis showed.

The Decline Of US Housing Affordability The cost of a typical American home has raced far ahead of paychecks.This graphic (and below video), via Visual Capitalist's Pallavi Rao, charts how the median sales price of a newly-built privately-owned residential units (including houses and apartments) and the median household income have moved since 1967.Data for this graphic is sourced from the Census Bureau (both home prices and household incomes).The Federal Reserve’s CPI-U index was used to convert both to 2023 dollars for an apples-to-apples comparison.Tracking U.S. Home Prices vs. Household IncomesThe median sales price of a new U.S. home reached $428,600 in 2023. That price was more than five times the median household income of $80,610 that year.See how both metrics have moved since 1967 in the video below.The widening gap underscores why today’s buyers feel squeezed, even with low-down-payment loans and longer mortgage terms.It also hints at deeper forces, from land-use rules to interest-rate cycles, shaping the housing market’s boom-and-bust rhythm.The Affordability Ratio Has Doubled Since 1970Dividing price by income yields a home-price ratio, a quick gauge of affordability. A ratio of 3 is often cited as a sustainable benchmark.Back in 1970, the typical new home cost just 3.2 times the median income.YearMedian HouseholdIncome (2023 Dollars)Median Home Prices(2023 Dollars)Home-Price Ratio1967$53,530$207,3463.871968$55,810$216,3723.881969$58,010$212,6403.671970$57,580$183,6453.191971$57,090$189,6313.321972$59,330$201,1103.391973$60,610$223,0363.681974$58,780$221,8453.771975$57,180$222,5103.891976$58,160$236,6584.071977$58,450$245,3374.201978$60,720$260,1724.281979$60,610$264,0824.361980$58,720$238,8564.071981$57,730$230,8934.001982$57,570$218,8173.801983$57,210$230,3624.031984$58,930$234,3563.981985$60,050$238,7953.981986$62,280$255,7524.111987$63,060$280,2324.441988$63,530$289,8654.561989$64,610$294,9524.571990$63,830$286,6094.491991$61,960$268,4764.331992$61,450$263,8414.291993$61,150$266,8234.361994$61,800$267,2374.321995$63,770$267,7434.201996$64,710$271,9684.201997$66,050$277,1454.201998$68,470$285,0594.161999$70,210$294,5044.192000$70,020$299,0394.272001$68,870$301,4894.382002$68,310$317,7874.652003$68,350$322,9914.732004$68,250$356,5115.222005$69,310$375,8615.422006$70,080$372,5805.322007$71,210$364,3035.122008$68,780$328,4744.782009$68,340$307,7744.502010$66,730$309,9344.642011$65,750$307,7644.682012$65,740$325,4134.952013$68,220$351,7145.162014$67,360$371,3265.512015$71,000$378,2145.332016$73,520$390,7685.322017$75,100$401,6375.352018$75,790$396,0655.232019$81,210$383,1754.722020$79,560$389,5734.902021$79,260$431,2405.442022$77,540$452,3855.832023$80,610$428,6005.32By 2004, that ratio had breached 5x for the first time, and it has rarely dipped below 5 since the Great Financial Crisis. In 2022, the ratio peaked at 5.83—an all-time high.Even with a slight pullback in 2023, the multiple remains about two times higher than it was half a century ago, signaling persistent affordability pressure.Boom-and-Bust Cycles Leave Lasting ScarsThe 2000-2006 housing boom pushed home prices up faster than incomes, inflating the ratio from 4.3 to 5.4 in just six years.After the 2008 crash, prices corrected, trimming the multiple to 4.5 by 2009.Yet incomes stagnated while credit conditions eased, allowing prices to roar back. Each bust resets the market, but the floor keeps rising—suggesting structural supply shortages and demographic demand that quick corrections cannot fully unwind.Pandemic Stimulus Supercharged Home PricesRecord-low mortgage rates and a surge in remote-work moves propelled home prices in 2020-22. Median new-home prices jumped nearly $63,000 in two years—while median incomes fell slightly.Even as interest rates climbed in 2023 and prices cooled, the typical buyer still needed more than five years of gross income to purchase a newly built home.Unless incomes rise faster or supply meaningfully expands, the era of “stretch” affordability looks set to continue.Median values are good for quick understanding but hide variance across the country.

Oil prices drifted lower early Tuesday in Asian markets, weighed down by escalating trade tensions between the world’s largest economies and mounting signs of rising crude supply.
