Christmas 2025 & New Year 2026 Message — DDDI
This festive season arrives with official optimism from the White House, yet beneath the cheer lies a familiar unease. As former IMF economist Desmond Lachman warns, the U.S. is sleepwalking toward another financial crisis, echoing the blind spots of early 2008.
Record deficits, soaring public debt, dependence on foreign buyers of U.S. Treasuries, political pressure on the Federal Reserve, and bubble-like enthusiasm in AI stocks together form a dangerous mix. Institutions like the IMF, BIS, and seasoned investors are not sounding alarms out of pessimism—but out of memory.
In DDDI terms, this is Dominion without Dharma: power without restraint, growth without grounding. The risk ahead is not merely recession, but a fracture of trust—in markets, institutions, and leadership.
As we step into 2026, DDDI offers a simple invitation:
reframe capitalism from speculation to stewardship, align technology with responsibility, and restore trust through transparency and discipline.
May this New Year mark a shift from complacency to consciousness–
from sleepwalking to awakening.
