Damn.

This predicted neo-feudalism is arriving faster than anyone thought.

I think it will be some sort of mass surrender.

:oops:
Anglos lack the rebellious and revolutionary nature of the Chinese. I'm not seeing even a peep of action from the sheeple on what is essentially 30-50 years of involuntary servitude to big banks.

Just as the Brits packed up their criminals and unwanted elements to ship to Australia and the colonies, I predict US will try to do the same.


Starbucks was once on top of the world. I'm ready to see it's fall.

  • President Donald Trump holds a golden share in U.S. Steel that allows him to veto key business decisions under a deal struck with Japan's Nippon.

I don't know if he finished his PhD but I wouldnt be surprised if he did. Whether you like him or not, he does publish extensively about Economics, not all of his material is inherently bad, and he is decently well-known in the field.

When asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached

. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.
The American federal government is in a $143 trillion hole, a burden that amounts to $1,085,022 per family in the US. The $143 trillion is equivalent to 85% of the net wealth that Americans have accumulated since the founding of the nation, estimated by the Federal Reserve at $169 trillion.
