Quote HistoryQuoted: We’re in the “slowly at first” part of Hemingway’s bankruptcy tale. Right now the non-western part of the world is moving away from our petrodollar. Eventually that will reduce demand for the US dollar and we’ll reach the “suddenly” stage of bankruptcy. Poof, US currency won’t be worth anything. When that will happen is impossible to predict. Probably not today or tomorrow, might be this year or next year, or 50 years. Quote HistoryQuoted: We’re in the “slowly at first” part of Hemingway’s bankruptcy tale.

This doubles the previous membership of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa to ten countries. |

A thoughtless moran called me “Doomer” in a recent investing thread, merely for pointing out that our investments will have to out pace inflation.
 Thing is, my life provides a special insight that nobody else has. I spend half my time in places where $1= 5 or 40 or 1000. I don’t have to conceptualize our future, I live it everyday. A nice dinner for two, might be 100,000. And you know what? Life goes on as normal. It’s not the SHTF scenario pictured by traditional Doomers. It’s just everyday life, where you get paid 800 times more, but everything is 1000 times more expensive. |

A massive new burden on the welfare structure and out of control spending to force hyper-inflation. The ONLY thing that we have going for us is that most of the world is worse. But we are catching up very quickly. By design. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The last time we had a budget surplus was the late 90's. We've had three major tax cuts since then. To get things right we're going to have to cut things like Social Security, Medicare, and defense spending. But we also need to raise taxes. I don't remember the 1990s as having a crushing tax burden where everyone was living in poverty. How about going back to those tax rates, or something like it? I mean, everybody wants to Make America Great Again, so what were the tax rates like back when America was Great? Shit lot higher than under Bill Clinton. Maybe start there. Nope. We had an accounting surplus for in 1999, but the debt was higher than the year before. Neat trick, but government accounting allows it. The entirety of the surplus (for what it was), was due to capital gains taxes from one of the most overpriced markets in history. Today's market valuations are even bigger. Raising taxes is never the answer, you are just feeding the problem. Clinton had nothing like the financial wreckage that we are in now, on any debt to GDP type of measure. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those 90s taxes were cap gains from the dotcom boom. America's glory days was the 1950s, when tax rates were high, (but almost every one else had their industry bombed). Again, tax rates are not tax revenues. Government needs to spend less, not tax more. Agreed, with a correction. Tax rates may have been high but they were offset with thousands of loopholes and on a wider spectrum of income, not just the middle class and rich like now (95% from the top 50% and 50% from the top 10% - with the bottom half paying 5%, before income transfers). |

The problem is that the USA is entirely dependent on goods manufactured overseas. So, if our currency collapses than the cost of imported goods becomes unaffordable to most causing a rapid decline in the standard of living before the situation corrects with a return to domestic manufacturing. In that critical period of collapse our diverse and extremely divided nation could fracture into tribal anarchy prompting a balkanization of the USA thereby ending our union. Nationalism no longer holds this country together, there is no loyalty to the flag with the majority of American people, and the only thing keeping us afloat right now is our relative comfortable standard of living. The minute our standard of living is impacted to any significant degree all Hell will break loose. |

Yes, I should have mentioned that. I was crawling on the floor during part of that time period, and I didn't pay any income taxes at all. But yes, lots of loopholes. Sadly, people passed on business opportunities because they would not have received any significant profit after paying 90% taxes. President Reagan gave a speech about that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fixt. Lower tax rates increase economic activity which actually improves inflow to the treasury. Higher rates stifle economic activity. Either way, federal spending needs to be slashed dramatically. That's right. We cannot continue to spend AND have interest rates climb. The two work against each-other until the whole kit-n-kaboodle collapses, catastrophically. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I you really want to bake your noodle, do some research on future unfunded liabilities. Close to $100 trillion for the federal government. Then, add in state, local and private pension funds, and you're at several hundred trillion. Only way to fix it is to inflate it away. Inflation favors debtors. And because we're the world's reserve currency, and there's currently no viable (or even short-term future) challenger, we're pawning our debt off on and inflating all other currencies. Great way to be a steward of trust and faith. Haven't heard of BRICS, huh? Nor, the resultant death of the petro-dollar? |

It's going to last decades - if not longer - and it's going to be worse than anyone can imagine. None of our families will make it through unscathed. We've got 25 years, max. I don't think it will take nearly that long. And I don't think our country will survive, either. Hate to say it, but I believe it's true. I'm also pretty sure I will die in the social upheaval, so there's that, too! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't disagree. They'll go digital before that allowing a much different level of manipulation. AI will do most of the "busy work" and a lot of people will just have to deal with their minimum income plan unless they're the silver people protecting the gold people. For everything else there's third worlders who strangely seem to be coming in by quite a bit lately...short term, keep wages lower and keep the ho polloi focused on "unsolvable" issues. Long term easily influenced lower classes to cudgel what little remains of the middle class into submission for the oligarchs. Good news is, this is still the USA and it won't be as easy as they hope. Central America and to a lesser extent Mexico never had the resources, infrastructure or stability to lose, and many of our issues hit them harder. It isn't surprising people are migrating when their societies come pre-collapsed. Lots of subsistence farmers in the region have been broken by drought and the slums are overcrowded too. US/Canada are actually in the strongest position of anyone, which is scary. |

Arfcom is too busy crowing about their big stonk gains, sportsball, and sarcastically muttering " fucking doomer" , to take anything meant as a warning seriously.
Maybe when inflation outpaces their stock growth to the point they are actually losing money every month even if still earning 20% , because the dollar has become toilet paper, perhaps then they might take things seriously. Some of us did the math though, many years ago, / are capable of reading between the lines and know exactly whats in store for all of us in the near future, with our kids and grandkids ESPECIALLY fucked. Many people cant do that math though, as it conflicts with their happy little life, sportsball games, kids activities, and simply wont believe it though, unless their government / the president says it on live tv / admits it personally, which will never happen.. Covid vaccines are a good much faster moving example, where people were physically harmed, and they will never accept their government fucked them, and their family, unless government openly admits it, which wont happen. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What many do not understand is that every dollar the US govt spends that is not direct payments, is included in the GDP calculation. So when the fed creates new money and gives it to the treasury and the treasury spends it, the accounting result is an increase in GDP which looks like growth, but it isn’t growth. Without that extra 2 trillion dollars pumped into the GDP, the GDP negative growth would be worse than the Great Depression numbers. With that extra 2 trillion a year, the govt is propping up business, the stock and bond markets, jobs, and tithe economy in general. Without it employment would collapse, banking would collapse, consumer demand would collapse, and the economy in general would collapse. So they try to disarm us knowing what is coming while they steal a big nest egg for themselves and hope they get rich before the wheels come off the train. I bring that up when someone talks about increased US GDP, but it just bounces off like a rubber bullet. |

And the executive branch, including the myriad hundreds of thousands of federal employees appear to be working hand in hand. With them. With people we were warned about, 250 years ago. The Founders weren't stupid. They anticipated this. My advice is ignore the MSM totally. Watch the weather, maybe sports if you care. Or not. Local news like car crashes, traffic reports, crime reports is useful intel but just as skewed depending on which network. As for national/world news? Yeah. No. You should know better. Each of you by now probably has a pretty good BS detector built in. Use that. But don't spend too much time on "news". It's not realtime, so it's of little use. But it does give you a broader picture and can telltale what's coming. Maybe. Kind of like your side mirrors/rear view. Valuable info can be found on social media. The latest J6 "tapes" I've found here and on GAB. But the above caution stands. Check six, drive on. Forward. God, Family FIRST. Rural is nice, less resources, peaceful maybe versus city. Bigger cities, avoid if you can. It will happen there first, but harder. Smaller cities/towns or rural with "town" thirty+ miles away, you're not as safe as you think. Brings different security problems. Regardless, what's coming, you can't stop or avoid. It'll just happen later than your city-fied brethren. Have a plan. Prepare by being as self-reliant as possible. Enough supplies to ride out as long as you can. Diversify, and be like John Wayne Toilet Paper. Rough, Tough, and Don't Take Crap offa anybody.

A nice dinner for two, might be 100,000. And you know what? Life goes on as normal. It’s not the SHTF scenario pictured by traditional Doomers. It’s just everyday life, where you get paid 800 times more, but everything is 1000 times more expensive. Those places have a name. The third world. If you spend time there you have seen people who live in plywood shacks with dirt floors. Sorry, but that's 180 degrees from life as normal. Let's picture for a minute the GF riots except those people are actually hungry....... |
