...a falling economy beaches a lot for boats...it is an indicator that Marxism is working, because it always has been and will always be about destroying...everything...and the oft-defeated belief that you can build something else by force...and keep destroying human will, human individuality and human hope and belief along the way...and think it will end well...

And remember, the government of JoeFraud...says this is all temporary...

But fortunately, condom-makers have identified an easy-to-pull-off pivot: they're shifting production from rubbers to rubber gloves.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/von-greyerz-coming-market-madness-could-take-70-years-recover

If it takes 70 years (setting aside anything exists during this period to analyze) it will not be because of the time it took to recover from 1929...it will be because several generations have so fouled things up that it will take that long to overcome...even if starting everyone at zero (an event that could be planned or organic) and assuming a much lower global population...it may take near that long to get to a comparative global GDP in nominal measurement.

There was a fascinating true crime story years ago. Some ghetto rat had a fascination with trains. He broke into one and stole the radio. He listened in and learned all the lingo and details. He later learned how to learn of what cargo was on what cars. I think he went after expensive clothing for resale He and his buddies would rob the trains. I THINK they robbed them while they were running. Elegant. Maybe in Chicago. At night. Not discovered until later.

Here is a recent robbery, Not elegant.

The Bolshevik Biden economy...

Well, more on that story...

Initial food instability signs in the supply chain. Things to look for:

(1) A shortage of processed potatoes (frozen specifically).

1.a And/Or a shortage of the ancillary products that are derivatives of, or normally include, potatoes.

(2) A larger than usual footprint of turkey/ham in the supermarket (last lines of protein).

(3) A noticeable increase in the price of citrus products.

(4) A sparse distribution of foodstuffs that rely on flavorings (sports drinks).

(5) The absence of non-seasonal products.

(6) Little to no price difference on the organic comparable (diff supply chain)

(7) Unusual country of origin for fresh product type.

(8) Absence of large container products

(9) Shortage of any ordinary but specific grain derivative item (ex. wheat crackers)

(10) Big brand shortage.

(11) Shortage of wet pet foods

(12) Shortage of complex blended products with multiple ingredients (soups etc)

(13) A consistent shortage of milk products and/or ancillaries.

^^^^I saw charts of the world with the leading trading partner of each country color coded. Maybe 20 years ago and then now. Lot of countries has the US color 20 years ago and the China color now. That included most of Latin America.

The author was making a point. The US sanctions so many countries to provided incentive to avoid the dollar. Russia-China trade is settled more and more outside the dollar. What if the countries trading mostly with China now are given incentive to trade outside the dollar with China?

All these sanctions are like giving feed lot animals antibiotics. Incentives for mutations and changes to work around them.

The Fed boxed themselves in...no easy exit ramp...

All of this debt is a feature of the Fed’s loose monetary policy - not a bug.

The Federal Reserve and the US government have built a post-pandemic “economic recovery” on stimulus and debt. It is predicated on consumers spending stimulus money borrowed and handed out by the federal government or running up their own credit cards.

Now, the Fed is threatening to turn off that easy money spigot. How is that going to work? How will consumers buried under more than $1 trillion in credit card debt pay those balances down with interest rates rising? With rising rates, minimum payments will rise. It will cost more just to pay the interest on the outstanding balances.

Overleveraged companies have the same problem.

And so does the US government.

This does not bode well for an economy that depends on borrowing and spending to sustain itself.

The only reason Americans can borrow money is because the Fed is enabling them. It holds interest rates artificially low. That’s how the economy works. And that’s why I think the Fed will ultimately relent on any move it makes toward tighter monetary policy. As Peter Schiff put it, the Fed can’t do what it’s claiming it will do.
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/mainstream-suddenly-realizes-raising-interest-rates-world-buried-debt-might-be-problem

...and Marxist pols are schizo on impacts...in no way do they want corporatist America impacted as that will impact flows into their campaign coffers...but they probably would mind seeing some citizens destroyed if it translates into more slaves to the state...but any token measures likely useless (which is why a small tinkering is my prediction) versus half-measures that will fool no one and likely exacerbate some sectors going into another political silly cycle.
