Keeping America Great -- May 25, 2021

Re-posting.

Keeping America great. This has to be frustrating for "the Squad" -- the US just keeps getting better and better (if one ignores what is going on in East St Louis, downtown Minneapolis, and Portland, OR, in general). In the last twenty-four hours, three stories highlighting how far the US has come:

• semiconductor chips: there's a shortage right now but it's temporary and the US will come out of this stronger than ever;
• apparently the US -- not France -- now leads the global fashion industry;
• and then agriculture -- Deere, Caterpillar both with incredibly earnings and guidance and now Cargill -- barreling toward its most profitable year ever. The $4.3 billion in net income in the first nine months of its 2021 fiscal year already surpasses its best ever annual profit.
