So how one can find out that the vaxxines are crap and most likely a bio weapon, we figured that out by looking at the countries that were most and the least vaxxinated to see the difference. “Global inflation continues to Surge!” Is there a way to look at countries were the inflationary rates are spiking, like the US, and those countries were its stagnant, ? . Then see if how the Federal Reserve is influencing those countries?

Finance 101 is lost on most people. It’s not taught in school or any traditional systems. Our kids are taught to get into debt at a vulnerable age on purpose. My two are 34 and 29. Both had so many credit card offers in there 20s couldn’t even count ‘em. I remember growing up when I started a savings account and given a passbook. Remember those? I would get excited and motivated to save more when we would get the interest earned. Our culture has changed most kids aren’t taught how to give back, save , and live within their paycheck if they get one (anymore).

Even as a Manager at a large telecom firm, when I hired an employee , we showed them the car allowance which was very generous. The company matched $1 for $1 up to 6%. I would tell the new employee to keep the car they have or get a good dependable car with cash or very low payment. Save the allowance and have it matched out into an aggressive 401k dollar cost in every pay day. Well, almost alway, they show up a week later in a leased Mercedes, BMW, or these days it’s probably Tesla. Instead having that grow to well over a million assuming they stayed which most did, they went into more debt and sold or traded the car for less than 50% plus interest.

That’s an example of why we are here. The shiny lure is always there

Have you seen what the average 55 year old has saved for retirement? Look it up. We have a huge problem and our kids won’t be able to do anything because many are not educated to saving and spending

So Greg...the answer is NO. I don’t think most people care or know what’s going on. They not looking under the hood and believe the BS on TV. They just wanna go surfing or travel, party , whatever and stay blind to it all.

So sad...if truth could reach these kids coming out of school they could start off the right way.

Cheers

I so sorry for my recent outburst. I do love America, most of all Christians. The medication that I need to take is very expensive and times I cannot afford it, hence my outburst.

Also, I recently contracted a case of Monkeypox. Please do not make fun of me, this condition is painful.😒😒😒😒😒😒😒🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Fed sending money around the world is the Fed providing monetary converson for domestic

use in many countries per value of US Dollar versus domestic currency. So, that is a perfunctory

policy position not an inflationary process as this reduces domestic inflation rates for that nation

and people domestically as they have dollars for conversion purposes domestically. As far as easing of EU and US as well as other Western Nations you have an actual war going on right now so clearly when war is going on against other belligerent nations easing during this time is a natural policy process. Imagine the easing and monetary processes in the US and and around the world via the US during WWI or WWII or any other time of world strife amongst nation states. Now if you don't believe the information from your US and EU news compare it to the "news" being spoon fed to the Russians and the Chinese domestically and you'll see full of sh____ is a normal state of disinformation of these two nation states. They are completely collapsed and now moving into the "black hole" syndrome and you listen to "bad" outcomes of Walmart or Target here in the US?!? Come on. We know why Target, Walmart and other retailers are having their problems, due to the supply line restrictions for the last 24 months, the Targets and Walmarts stock piled too much inventory and probably at much higher cost ratio for each item due to the shipping costs and supply and demand during this period. Now you have to go into the head winds of Post Covid Period and you see consumption going down as "panic buyers" are now fully stuffed with things they stored up over the last 18 months ago. So, now you have a leveling off of "consumption" from the Pre and During Covid Hey Days. Oil has gone down considerably and so relief for the consumer has arrived. And considering our Central Banks willingness to endure to defeat Russia and parts of the Chinese Hierarchy, I'm approximating that oil will fall even further as a lower per barrel price of oil further cripples and defeats Russia's current revenue stream even further thereby reducing their capacity to attack their neighboring nations around them so the bear will have less and less claws and teeth to bite and gouge with. Naturally, as consumption is reduced so to will the Chinese demand for oil as manufacturing production falters further due to less domestic and external consumption and so Chinese appetite for oil will falter as well. Naturally, China has a 3-4 Billion People problem, so China will be facing severe domestic challenges internally as well as people start feeling the effects of this collapse in exports with little or no answer from the CCP that they will have to handle in the same ways they did before 30-40 years ago when people raised hell. That will only work for only so long and then kaput, the people will overwhelm the system with their shear numbers. The only thing the US and the EU will have to survive is the paid off parts of their domestic citizenry by Putin to try to cause civil strife and civil war in the

US which naturally would be catastrophic to any one with half a brain tied behind their backs

yet they will persist until they are revealed in public as Russian Tools against the US and Western

Nations for Russian Largesse and campaign funding.

Meanwhile, "warnings go out by email" today that Sleepy Joe Biden is alright with the Fed

instituting a new US crypto currency and so to is the EU and others. People are up and arms

about this and yet, they use their "debit cards" endlessly every day for each and every conceivable

transaction known to man. The crypto investors and/or speculators of today in Bitcoin, etc. have

no Central Bank backing them only their security sequences of block chain but nothing hard backing

it either. So, if the Fed or Eu or any other central banks go to central bank crypto what can a

crypto investor say about it? Nothing, Nada except it's backed by the Fed or EU Central Bank

versus no backing by the current crypto's that abound around us. And for the silver and gold

officiandos and investors, I'm sure transactions for any new crypto currency backed by the Fed

or any other Central Bank can be traded from gold into that new crypto so you remain always fluid in terms of flow of consumption dollar for stuff you wish to buy. In the meantime, actual currency

production costs for dimes, quarters, pennies, dollars, etc will be eliminated so less cost for the

currency used by the general public.

In terms of the long term macro and micro, we will see a declining market and this will not be

bad if there are complimentary and ancillary responses by all the governments to diminish the

effects of that trend on the average person. I think as a contrarian, that not all "interested parties"

out there are actively attempting to denigrate people but more so attempting to provide a

"bridge" from the past to a new future. So, expect down trending eventually "but" more realistic

numbers and outcomes/results over time. In most circumstances, you have to go through fire

to get to heaven or something more beneficial. So, future is brighter not darker though there

might be darker days ahead for a time. But then only sunshine and then rain as usual as well

as intermittent straight "blue skies" with an occasional rainbow in our skies.

Mic sounds very good. A slight amount of boomyness around the edges, but that may even be the fault of the reference monitors I am using right now. This mic is certainly well within the boundaries for a vlog.
