I honestly don’t think it matters who wins. Trump isn’t God, and our situation is way past a human solution.
Creating excess liquidity was likely necessary to prevent a lock up of the financial world with the COVID 19 shutdown, but actions have consequences, even if it was unavoidable, and I sort of think it was.
and our situation is way past a human solution.
Unfortunately you may be right. The only way for people to wake up and learn is when they are faced with something causing bodily harm or impacts their pocketbook. I venture to say that not too far down the road we may be faced with some natural disasters as we are headed further into the 3600 year cyclical event causing people to rethink what they were doing. Something very similar to what triggered the ten plagues and eventually caused the exodus, which took place give or take about 1500 B.C. Ancient Chinese records show that about the same time the Chinese had vey similar problems, not unlike what they are having RIGHT NOW. In other words those were global events, with everything going crazy. So far the US has been relatively lucky avoiding many of the disasters which have struck other places and I hope it continues, but I would not count on it.
Interesting, concise perspective Leaf, seems grounded in fate (the die is cast as Julius said at the Rubicon) than in free will.
If what you say is true (beyond that “Trump isn’t God”), then it would matter only by what means and when we arrive at the ultimate destination of destruction.
If things go this way, Buffett buying gold is futile as well. Like a man in very deep water with nothing nearby, trying to hold onto gold bars and stay above water... drowning is path. Does he not come to his senses and let go to get to shore and survive?
