Shanahan’s son did a Babe Ruth on his ex-wife and he backed his son. Very messy.

Sounds like this is what it’s about. Drama not needed, whatever the truth is.
Trump FIRES his acting Pentagon secretary Patrick Shanahan after defense chief revealed to have been accused of hitting his wife and defending son who fractured mom’s skull with baseball bat

From the article...
“The dismal science is in trouble, and it deserves to be in
trouble. Economic axioms cannot be flouted without
consequences—which means the central insights of the
Austrian school will prove correct over the coming decades.
Political money will unravel; commodity money will
reassert itself. Central bankers will force depositors into
the bizarro-world of negative interest rates, destroying
capital and dramatically hurting savers. Central bankers
similarly will do everything they can to avoid a stock
market crash. They will once again buy assets and prop up
equities, while telling us their fiat currencies are
healthy—even as they quietly buy more gold than they have in
decades.
Governments, businesses, investors, and individuals will
respond to loose monetary policy rationally, by borrowing
and spending instead of saving and investing. M&A, stock
buybacks, and other forms of financial engineering will
attempt to extract tiny amounts of value from moribund
companies and industries.
Federal Reserve officials will disavow outright
monetization of government spending (i.e. Modern Monetary
Theory), even as they partially practice it with an
increasingly debt-financed federal budget. All of this new
money and credit will not be neutral, but will primarily
benefit political and economic elites.
This monetary alchemy (h/t Nomi Prins) will not work.
Consumption will not magically substitute for production.
Demand-side stimulus, whether fiscal or monetary, will
produce only ersatz and short-lived economic growth.
Underlying incentives will continue to matter.
Political movements in the US toward greater degrees of
socialism and bigger entitlements (e.g. single payer
government health care) will encourage the gross
misallocation of resources, just as Austrians warn.
Bureaucrats, far more powerful than presidents or
Congress, will steer the economy based on political
expediency and without regard to market signals.
“Capitalism” will be blamed for any economic crises,
whether in jobs, housing, energy, stocks, or consumer
prices.
Positivist economists will explain everything after the
fact, with no acknowledgement of their their own complicity
and lack of foresight.
Nobody wants, or hopes for, a severe economic contraction.
Nobody wants to see people suffer from bad political and
economic policies. But debt and entitlements are
unsustainable. The Fed’s swollen balance sheet is
unsustainable. Moving toward socialism is unsustainable.
Austrians will be vindicated, but will they be heard?”
