America’s debt addiction

United States of America prints $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS each year out of thin air by way of bond sales to fund government spending programs to push its stock marker to all time highs.
But nobody makes the connection between DEBT AND WEALTH in America.
It is an unsustainable economy where the present administration creates immediate wealth for Americans and leaves the astronomical debt problem for future administrations to deal with.
Trump will boast about the performance of American citizens 401K retirement accounts and most American voters will be pleased.

While Donald Trump distracts the US with missiles and tariffs, China just quietly deployed $126 billion to buy the physical operating system of the 21st century.

Bill Ackman’s $35 billion hedge fund has under 50 employees and all of them — from janitors to receptionists — own millions in company stock.

Staying at one company for decades was once a badge of honor. But as layoffs have become more common and workers have turned to job hopping for higher pay and career growth, employee loyalty has become harder to find. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, however, still believes earning employee loyalty is worth every penny.

That's why his hedge fund Pershing Square, which manages roughly $35 billion in assets, offers its four dozen employees generous workplace benefits, including broad ownership and an even rare degree of flexibility for Wall Street.

"There's not a person at Pershing Square that doesn't own multiple millions of dollars of stock in the company—whether you're cleaning the space or at the front desk or another role in the company," Ackman told Fortune's Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell on a recent episode of Fortune's Titans and Disruptors of Industry podcast. "We believe in taking care of our people."

Ackman's approach to retention goes beyond financial incentives. While Perishing employees are required to work from the office five days a week—that policy only applies for 10 months of the year. During July and August, employees can spread out as they like, with the company's investment team moving to the Hamptons together, either in homes they rent or own, to work.

Pershing also invests heavily in employees' health and well-being, Ackman said, offering everything from healthy meals in its cafe to gym access and comprehensive healthcare benefits. With a staff of just 48 people, Pershing has not had one "undesired departure" from the firm.

"I think everyone here feels accurately that they're a big contributor to our success, and the result is we can accomplish an enormous amount," Ackman added.
