UNTIL I GET YOU by CLAIRE CONTRERAS Review
This book was weird. It calls itself “dark,” but it’s not, really, it’s more just an angsty New Adult book that has an unusually obsessive / possessive hero. The plot: Lachlan and Lyla (both 22) meet during their last year of college and fall in love. She’s got a stalker who has murdered some of her other loved ones. Lachlan is a hockey star. He’s a typical jock / player who never sleeps with the same girl twice….until he suddenly becomes obsessed with Lyla. When her stalker attacks them, Lyla runs away and changes her name, in an attempt to ...
What Backs the United States Dollar?
Prior to 1971, the US dollar was backed by gold, silver or a combination of both. In 1971, President Nixon officially ended the gold standard and made the United States dollar a fiat currency. Fiat means “let it be done” in Latin. Therefore, a “fiat currency” derives its value from government decree rather than any physical commodity. After the collapse of the gold standard in 1971, the US entered into agreements with Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing nations where they agreed to price and sell their oil exclusively in US dollars which was nicknamed Petrodollars. In return, the United States ...
AVOID THE SOLOMON GRUNDY SYNDROME
Solomon Grundy, a nursery rhyme character, is known for living a life that repeats itself in a monotonous cycle. His life is a series of predictable events, starting with his birth on Monday and ending with his death on Saturday. While this character may be fictional, the concept of living a repetitive and unfulfilling life is all too real for many people. Living like Solomon Grundy means going through the motions without truly experiencing life. It means settling for mediocrity and routine instead of embracing change and growth. It means being stuck in a cycle of monotony, where each day ...

Irrespective of the type of crisis, there ...
The US-China Trade War: Who Dominates Global Trade?
The ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China, initiated by former President Donald Trump in 2018, has evolved into a multifaceted geopolitical standoff driven by ideological differences. Trump's administration imposed punitive tariffs on China, citing concerns over trade deficits and allegations of unfair economic practices. Subsequently, the scope of this dispute expanded to encompass broader strategic rivalry and ideological competition. President Joe Biden has continued many of Trump's policies, emphasizing the clash between democratic principles and autocratic governance in the context of U.S.-China relations. However, the underlying rationale for the trade war has been criticized as flawed, with ...

Are cryptocurrencies the future?
In just over a decade, cryptocurrencies have grown from digital novelties to trillion-dollar technologies with the potential to disrupt the global financial system. An increasing number of investors now hold bitcoin and hundreds of other cryptocurrencies as assets and use them to buy a swath of goods and services, such as software, digital real estate, and illegal drugs. To their proponents, cryptocurrencies are a democratizing force, wresting the power of money creation and control from central banks and Wall Street. Critics, however, say that cryptocurrencies empower criminal groups, terrorist organizations, and rogue states while stoking inequality, suffering from drastic market ...
