SMILE YOU'RE BEING EXTRACTEDe

Sit back and shut up. Better yet just stay stupid and enjoy it. You don’t have to suffer any pain that way. At least you may not know its going to be painful until its way late in this cycle. 

Why is it “different” this time? Well for one thing all the measuring metrics that normally function for the public have been CONveniently “disabled”. For many years a reasonably accurate measurement of unemployment existed that could be used to “measure” the health of the economy, but all that changed in the late 80s and 90s to make adjustments that initially were made to disguise the effects that NAFTA would have on manufacturing and employment in this country. 

CPI was also changed in the way we calculated it to keep the public sitting in the slowly boiling water of dollar deflation. It also helped to tamp down some of the cost of living adjustments on Social Security checks to the public. 

Other canary in the coal mine metrics were also changed but no one really cares or you are already aware of this voodoo economic butt paste and I won’t bore you. 

In the meantime an awful large amount of very very cheap money for no interest has been put into the system to buy hard assets at relatively low prices and to also invest in many assets that are at nosebleed levels and finally to invest in assets that have almost no chance of surviving if zero interest rates are even REMOTELY returned to just a another 1% above where they are now. 

In other words free money given to a very select group of chosen investors own a monstrous amount of the world now. THE CRISIS was an excuse to massively enrich themselves in a World Gone Mad. I hope all of you took the time to enjoy the “recovery” and are just as optimistic for the next ten years LOL. gl
