I’ve finally come to realize that our modern day version of “Bread and Circuses” is actually the Federal Reserve (a PRIVATE institution that has virtually nothing to do with the federal government) = The Bread part and the “Markets” = the Circuses, the distractions! So long as those two keep going up (ie, the printing of new $$$$$ in order to keep the “markets” propped up) the population can be kept relatively passive and harmless from revolting! I’m convinced that this is what’s been happening since the creation of the Federal Reserve and it’s been on overdrive since the late 1990’s! 🙄🤔🤨🤦♂️

I agree. If you mention to someone that the economy is bad, they respond, “No it isn’t! Look at the DJIA and Nasdaq! A few tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) account for the rise in the Nasdaq in the past few weeks. I believe it is a bubble that is going to pop soon after the first of the year. There is no way they can keep this up until the November election. I believe once it starts to fall, it is going to fall hard and fast.
