I don’t have anything less subjective than what you say.
But I think you are correct.
We are facing great trouble in the year ahead. And I think even a takeover of Congress won’t help because the Democrats (and the bureaucracy/Deep State will only increase their destructiveness - not just in D.C. but across the nation - in reaction to to being rebuked.
It will have to get exponentially worse before we have any chance of making it better.
There will be martial law but violence from left will institute it we conservatives will complain about the Constitution being ignored and do nothing, no different than 29 we quietly starved until Tojo gave us an out.
Don’t think a flyswatter will stop those kind of locust mentioned in Revelations..those will be stinging and men will suffer greatly from the stings.
My husband and I were just talking about that today. Deflation is just as scary if not more.
That can change quickly though, anytime I have to get gas (which is thankfully not often due to my lack of driving) I hear people bitching at the pumps for the prices.
The grocery store is where I really see the desperation on peoples faces. My Lord in Heaven, simple lunchmeat is over $10/lb. Chicken Breasts last year were $1.69/lb. They're $4.99/lb now. Milk is $4+/gal.
All the basics (bread, milk, eggs, cereal, soup, sugar, flour) have gone up anywhere from 50% - doubling in price. And the prices go up EVERY WEEK.
When we hit the tipping point, it's going to be fast and hard. I'm somewhat shaking my head that we haven't yet.
Keep watching. New mortgage applications are cratering because of interest rates, existing home inventories are up (in my area) significantly, prices are coming down and new home starts are way down too.
With the fed signaling four one-half point hikes between now and September, the housing market is going to take a beating.
Minor anecdote here. I live in a small town a few days ago a contractor redoing roads and drainage simply quit and walked off the job. Low bidding and other bad management practices were part of the cause but higher fuel prices were the nail in the coffin or your “tipping point’. I wonder how more are like that out there.
Shipping will be more expensive, and trucks will continue running. Prices of many products will continue to go up. Fertilizer has already been laid down, and crops are growing. Prices of agricultural products will go up, too. Fertilizer is not needed for harvesting. Due to more caution against pregnancy in many, the birth rate will plunge in suburbs and rural areas while enormously increasing in urban areas, among immigrant populations and flooding the suburbs with millions of new arrivals.
spot hire hot shots have parked their trucks in a lot of cases.
No need to bust your butt for negative revenue.
NOTHING has been done about voter fraud NO CONSEQUENCES, so those that believe there will be a HUGE RED WAVE are dreaming, the damage has been done to our election system AND it will continue because they have gotten away with it PERIOD!! Your vote today means NOTHING!! WHY IN THE HELL do you think these bastards have NOT changed course on policies, BECAUSE they WILL WIN with fraud just look at the GA. primary does ANYONE with half a brain believe for one second that Rafensberger won that election with over 50% REALLY???
next pain comes from food. It has been too cheap for too long... Those days are coming to and end.
Correct.
I drove from Charlotte to Baltimore two weeks ago. Heavy truck presence the whole way.
Tell me why a year’s worth of 10% deflation would be a Bad Thing.
