U.S. Economy: Structural Dilemmas Under Low Growth and High Inflation
In Q2 2026, the annualized growth rate of U.S. GDP was 1.5%, down clearly from 2.1% in Q1. The economy has maintained expansion, but downward pressures have intensified. Geopolitical conflicts have pushed up international energy prices. Rising U.S. gasoline costs have lifted inflation to 3.5%, far above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, continuing to squeeze consumers’ everyday spending.
The structure of economic growth has undergone a major shift. In the first half of the year, nearly two-thirds of the GDP increment came fro

U.S. Economy: Structural Predicament Amid Low Growth and High Inflation
In 2026 Q2, the U.S. GDP annualized growth rate was 1.5%, a clear slowdown from 2.1% in Q1. Although the economy continues to expand, downward pressure has increased. Geopolitical conflicts have pushed up international energy prices, raising U.S. gasoline costs, and inflation has rebounded to 3.5%, far above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, continuously squeezing residents’ daily consumption spending.
The structure of economic growth has undergone a major shift. In the first half of the year, nearly two-thirds of the inc

To be honest, seeing this ranking, I’m really shocked!

Korea’s national fate is tied to the AI doomsday war machine!
If you’ve been to South Korea, you know this: South Korea has very few resources. In 70 years, it became a developed country thanks to the chaebols, the government, and policies—so Koreans are generally quite impulsive!
Just half a month—South Korea’s retail investors can’t even afford a 60 yuan lunch!
On July 13, on the 20th day after buying a 2x leveraged ETF linked to SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, Jeonghao was liquidated/creamed.
After the market closed that day, he opened the “Naver Securities (네이버증권)” app, and a breaking-ne

Crypto markets saw another major plunge. The transmission chain is different from the usual this time—really peculiar～
Previously it was something like “Trump Taco,” or tensions between the US and Iran escalating, driving oil prices higher and inflation worsening—so the crypto market fell. Or it was ETF outflows from Wall Street, or the US stock market dropping, and 📉 intensified the selloff in BTC and other crypto assets.
This time, it’s because: Americans heard that China is going to build lithography machines!
US tech media《The Information》was first to report: a company headquartered in Sh

Goodbye, everyone—I’m going to work in Cambodia.

Keigo Higashino’s “The Miracles of the Namiya General Store” is truly incredibly healing!
What a pity! And that’s how it ended.

Isn’t that Wang Xingxing? He’s on Time Magazine!
The guy next to him, GD01, is priced at RMB 3.9 million!

Chinese families with annual income in the millions: 41% don’t work? What’s even more interesting is that among respondents whose household annual income is below 20,000 yuan, the non-working group also makes up more than 40%. Even when people don’t work, some don’t work because there are no opportunities, while others simply don’t need to rely on a job to support themselves.
In high-income “no-work-required” drama plots, there’s always a standard character profile.
Like the endless meetings in The First Half of My Life—“fires you can’t put out.” In “Like a Fish in Water,” the programmer Nie J

The genie who won the Fields Medal (Deng Yu, Yu Deng) also often teases people with “Zhihu-style” writing on Zhihu~ I’m in New York, just got off the plane. Thanks for the invite 😅
He’s very active on Zhihu, answering 100+ questions, and he even writes poetry—his personal bio is really interesting!
I love poetry, stories, novels, puzzles, manga, Go, football, and everything beautiful and captivating. (his personal homepage)
His avatar is anime-style. He’s technical and engineering-minded, yet carries a romantic, literature-loving vibe. And unlike what’s described online, he went to MIT

Does the wild lily have spring too? (Food delivery rider wins the Lu Xun Literature Prize)
For 38 years of his life, he wrote in cigarette packs and cardboard boxes. He was born in Kunshan, Jiangsu, a delivery rider.
Inspired by the everyday challenges of delivery work, Wang Jibing described the suffering of ordinary people, yet he didn’t rely on begging for sympathy to earn such a high literary honor—
Around 2019, at age 56, Old Wang became a delivery rider. His poems and prose gained massive reach on social media.
In 2022, one of his poems, “Hurrying People,” went viral online. Its inspirati

They were called Argentina’s “so very corrupt” team—and they lost this time!
This time, it doesn’t seem like too many people sympathized with Messi. After C罗, two great legends have also come to an end—
The Golden Boot went to France’s captain and forward Mbappé. With 10 goals, he edged out Messi, who scored 8, and took home the Golden Boot for this tournament—becoming the first player in World Cup history to win the Golden Boot back-to-back. Mbappé (22 goals) also led Messi by 1 goal, stealing the title of the World Cup’s all-time top scorer!
Spain also lifted the trophy and topped the U.S.-C

I thought Runes had completely cooled off, but I didn’t expect there are still many loyal fans who keep trading. Also, the new 110 fork didn’t receive support from most miners. If you can’t mine Bitcoin, where does the profit come from?
