Peter Thiel follows the German tradition to relocate Argentina.
NYT: “The billionaire’s new roots in Argentina are said to be partly motivated by concerns about the future of the United States and shared beliefs with Argentina’s right-wing leader.”

The US and Iran exchanged strikes as both sides accused each other of violating the newly announced truce.
A US official said Iranian missiles were believed to have been aimed at American forces in Kuwait. Tehran, meanwhile, claimed it struck a US base linked to previous attacks on Bandar Abbas, an Iranian port city situated near the Strait of Hormuz.

Peter Thiel is increasingly looking to Argentina as a possible refuge beyond the United States.
The billionaire has purchased a $12 million property in Buenos Aires and has held repeated meetings with President Javier Milei, whose libertarian, anti-tax agenda closely aligns with Thiel’s own politics. He has relocated his family to the Latin American country, including his husband and two daughters.
Those familiar with Thiel’s thinking say his interest in Argentina is driven partly by concern over America’s future, including political volatility, California’s tax climate, and nuclear risk.

We are on an unsustainable fiscal path:
Interest costs on US public debt rose +$37 billion YoY in the first 7 months of FY2026, or +6.4%, to a record $616 billion.
Interest has more than TRIPLED for this time of the year since 2021.
As a result, interest payments are now the fastest-growing portion of the entire federal budget and the 2nd-largest spending category, surpassing Defense and Medicare, only behind Social Security.
The Congressional Budget Office projects annual net interest payments to more than DOUBLE from $1.0 trillion in 2026 to $2.1 trillion by 2036.
Over the next 10 years, interest costs are expected to total a massive $16.2 trillion.
As a proportion of GDP, interest is projected to reach 3.2% this year, surpassing the previous record set in 1991, and surging further to 4.6% of GDP by 2036.
The cost of US government debt has never been this high.
