source There is one very consistent trend that has been very loud in the media, lots of stimulus measures. We know that. But there’s an underlying, almost silent trend. Jobs going away and never coming back. We’re always told that the middle class will be better off, next year, next 5 years, 10 years and […]
source There are serious consequences for attempting to stop the business cycle from functioning. The system needs an Economic Detox and yet it’s just getting more of the [s]ame garbage fed to it, every single day. The problem is only compounded. The danger is only mounting. The desire to create a bigger bubble is not […]
