IMHO that is a linear thought process (no offense intended)...

The number of moving parts in the US and Global economy is far from linear.

The number of ticks sucking the life out of this hound dog is far beyond unsustainable... been that way for quite a while.

The fundamental difference between "want" and "need" has ceased to be differ.

When Laquish "wants" free healthcare, free housing and free education... and you "need" a new backhoe to grow your business... Laquish will get what she "wants" and you will not get what you "need" even if you can pay for it. (i.e. you availability to have the cash to buy the backhoe will be taxed away to take care of Laquish's "wants").

Capitalism is a dead man walking... that is just a fact.

In my estimation... .GOV will cause a great hack of all money.

There will be a great gnashing of teeth...

Everybody will get $1m equally (or a monthly stipend).

And 90% of the population will becomes slaves.

Some feel Bitcoin will duck this...

Personally, I do not...

But again I sincerely wish every man good fortune in his decisions.



I truly hope you’re wrong, but it’s looking less likely all the time that you are.

“Americans today fear that linearism (alias the American Dream) has run its course. Many would welcome some enlightenment about history’s patterns and rhythms, but today’s intellectual elites offer little that’s useful. Caught between the entropy of the chaoticists and the hubris of the linearists, the American people have lost their moorings.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
