By summer it will have turned around headed in the right direction.
The youth choose to have every meal delivered. They buy out concerts and sports events. They make irresponsible choices and blame others.
“The Great Taking” by David Rogers Webb is a good book to read.
A systemic crash is planned. All of your stuff (that you think you own) is just collateral for our debt-leveraged world. The banks will take all you have. You will own nothing and you will be happy. And mandatory digital fiat currency (CBDC) will allow your masters to control your economic decisions. Prepare to be a serf.
I can’t find that book anywhere.

Snyder notoriously pounds out lists from ZeroHedge headlines of the past few weeks. It’s an easy way to get copy done on deadline.
The US has a Central Bank called the Federal Reserve. As was proved in 2009, when the system is going to “collapse” (a delightful economic word never defined) the Fed can create money and hand it out. It’s hard to collapse when a source with infinite money is handing it out.
Note there was essentially zero inflation during 10 or so years of the Fed doing this, so do not presume that handing out money willy nilly creates inflation.
A much better measure of societal realities — rather than GDP or inflation or other measurements of this substance created from thin air by the Fed — is population growth. It’s hard to print people via QE. Is population growing strongly? Then you are doing well. If it is not growing strongly you are not.
How do you grow population? With food, obviously. So if you want to see problems coming, you look at food. Not its price. Its existence. Is food scarce? Then you’re in trouble. Is there plenty of food and lots of obesity, then you’re probably doing fine.
Note, oddly, Venezuela has a 2% population growth rate. Videos of Caracas show no starvation. We are being lied to.
My man!
I keep seeing commercials for app’s that enable people to access funds from their future paychecks before payday from their smart phones. Bidenomics?
26) Trump got elected. So the MSM needs to constantly tell us how bad everything is. Especially the economy.
Btt
The average price of a dozen eggs went up 36 percent in just 12 months,
You can stop killing whole flocks when one chicken sneezes.
$36.5 trillion in debt, with another $104 trillion in unfunded liabilities spells $140 trillion…..mathematically impossible to pay off. Only two eventualities.
Lower interest rates and print more money or default in some form. One thing is certain, President Trump is going into a mess ( his speech two weeks ago stated a collapse larger than the Great Depression possible) but as a businessman, a managed bankruptcy with US citizens in mind can restore our nation.
some of this stuff is going to go deep into Pres. Trump’s term. If it goes too deep, it will become his.
Get in front of it.
List them all now as inherited issues from Biden and present them to the public and the MSM...contandtly
Commodity rich BRICS is also is also a major factor to contend with in the future. It’s all about bypassing us because of all of the sanctions and the stealing of assets from other countries. Nobody trusts us anymore. Nigeria with 240 million people just joined BRICS last week with many more on the waiting list, too.
Venezuela's official statistics are probably as reliable as Cuba's or East Germany's.
“( his speech two weeks ago stated a collapse larger than the Great Depression possible)”
Please do take some time and add references, that should keep you busy for awhile.
Was Trump’s election the last hurrah of a dying nation?
The U.S. has hit low points before, but we’ve always managed to work our way back up again.
The first 6 items are just clearing out the dead wood, positioning for another round of growth.
Next year, after the shakeout, we’ll see green shoots.
Stop making sense.
Good post.
Thank you.
