It’s definitely worth your time, she has a great grasp of the situation and lays it out very well.
It’s supposed to be a HANDS-FREE microphone! Clip it to your collar and say your spiel.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting old and crotchety, but someone who holds a microphone like that is annoying af.
Yes, but still just another grifter.
The government shutdown goes as follows:
Government furloughs thousands of workers for X number of weeks in a show of unsolidarity between the two political parties, which are actually the same party.
After X number of weeks, all furloughed government workers are put back to work, with back pay, and life goes on as before.
The numbers don’t matter, it’s all fake and gay.
We will survive in spite of our government, not because of it.
Wow. where do I start? She makes a LOT of assumptions and I can see the inherent bias she is putting into her spiel.
For many reasons she hangs an awful lot of weight/effect on the military (which shows her analytical bias) and not enough on the Gooberment and its slow leaching on the Gubmint Teat.
Yes, things are happening quickly, and I have no doubt the crash, when it comes< is going to probasbly be quick and harsh – but we (and the rest of the World) cannot allow what has happened over the last 60+ years .to continue. It will collapse (HAS started to collapse) no matter what she thinks of her chaos modeling. We should be PREPARED to weather the storm – as I'm sure a LOT of us who frequent this blogsite already do.
"We will survive in spite of our government, not because of it." Darn right. Sit down, grab something solid, hold on tight, and ride it out.
We WILL survive.
IMHO, everything she is saying is predicated on (sniffle, sniffle, cry, cry, tears, the sky is falling) how she perceives normal.
I don’t think “normal” is my tax dollars financing gay operas in Guyana.
Or circumcision in who-gives-af*** biexastan.
Normal is American ideals, warts and all.
Let the crash happen instead of wasting time and energy on trying to forestall it.
This fiat economy has to crash. It was designed to crash. I believe that is why Trump hit the ground running with tariffs. Never once did she mention tariffs.
That’s Trump’s MO. If you look at all his business bankruptcies he sucked out everything he could and left the shareholders holding a bag of shit.
Now he’s doing the same thing to the government and taxpayers. Look at all the tax dollars going directly or indirectly into his pockets. The worst is the $1bil we’re paying to upgrade his ‘free’ $400 million airplane which he gets to keep after he leaves office. MAGA!
Tariffs are a tax on the people
You and I know that but Trump continues to claim China is paying them and a lot of people believe him.
The first time he taxed Americans to ‘hurt’ China he used all the money we paid in tariffs on Chinese stuff to bail out American farmers because China cut back on buying our soy..
This time China is buying soy from Argentina and Brazil and nothing from us. To add insult to injury Trump just gave $20bil to bail out Argentina whose economy is still crashing despite all the soy sales to China. He’s a genius.
Ok, OK, OK
Panic time!
I’ll start wearing my face mask again, in 25 years.
Start wearing your gun in addition to your face mask, for facial recog cameras.
Guess we’re fucked.
Hey, anybody got a light? Who needs a cold one while I’m up?
I’ll take two, best beer in the world? Free Beer
Wow, where to start on a critique? She does lay her side out well, but….
Military – they are currently purging the political bias and attempting to restore Professionals. OBTW-the US during the great depression did use the military to dispurse its own veterans. I think McArthur lead the troops used on the veterans.
We might exceed the debt ceiling-Heaven to Betsy, we’ve never done that before. Oh, wait, they’ll just raise it. Again.
On the other hand, the house of cards has been built for a long time. We haven’t been able to trust gov’t numbers for a long time. I agree with Bunk Strutts and the rest of you. We’ll get by.
The raid on the Bonus Marcher’s camp was lead by Majors Patton and Eisenhower.
She’s incredibly biased. Not one single mention of the things being done by the left to cause collapse, nor one word about the efforts for the last hundred years to collapse the US, just everything being done to try to stave off collapse by the Evil Fascist Orange Man. Yeah, she’s just some dood on the Internet trying to get clicks for some reason, but there’s too many of those.
I couldn’t get to the video because it’s behind a log in screen.
I DON’T LOG IN ON SOCIAL MEDIA, EVER.
Many unsubstantiated claims and assumptions, while tightly cherry-picking a few supportive examples.
In short, bullsh*t.
OK, so Orange Man Bad. I get it.
an Amateur observer of financial markets for my own self-interest for a few decades, anyway. The uniparty screwed the pooch in a never ending fashion with the concept of “too big to fail”, the bail outs etc. in 2008 – also in the 1980s savings & loan foul up. The 1990s brought us Andrew Cuomo as director of HUD, introduced us to mortgages for unqualified borrowers because fairness or inequality or some such drivel. Who else remembers the Mexican who listed his landscape business pickup truck as collateral and was given a mortgage? That begat the 2008 financial (manufactured) “crisis”, then came obammy care, then came DJT and a few iterations of trillions in increased spending. . . . .. then Brandon and the “Inflation Reduction Act”, which did nothing much except fund NGOs to destroy america and drastically increase inflation. . . . . . the COVID “bail outs” a last gasp of Trump 45 admin, and now . . . . at least DJT tariffs are bringing money IN to the USA, huge promises (promises, mind you) of capital investment for new manufacturing capacity (has anyone broken ground yet? I really don’t know).
Anyway I am pretty sure the casino is going to keep operating, but a big shock like world (or almost world) war could certainly upset the apple cart.
For my part, I try to be prepared for the worst while I hope for the best. I suggest you folks invest in precious metals from time to time – brass, lead, copper. You get the drift.
Party on, Garth.
Doomers gonna doom. The left’s world is collapsing. The rest of us will be ok.
I hope y’all are correct, but I think, despite her bias, she is, basically, correct.
There are TOO many like minded and opposing forces, working towards the same goals. Cloward Piven, Rules for Radicals, Satanic minions, etc.
There’s tens of millions of leftist inclined, brainwashed idiots out there to actively help the collapse.
Hope I’m wrong, because being a semi invalid, broke dick geezer, with two invalid women to support and deal with, I won’t be heading “down to the local demonstration to get my fair share of abuse”.
The average U.S. government shutdown, since the modern budget process began in 1976, has lasted about eight days
However, the duration is highly unpredictable and has varied from a single day to over a month
I’m sure that we can last for a month. Was in the store yesterday and eggs haven’t gone up and gas is down to $2.62
You have to identify the “Possible” lows so you can plan for them. Will her theories pan out? time will tell. In the meantime, make plans, eat well, smile a lot, hug your families and continue on.
What was up with her nostrils?
