Corruption is bought. Something is given. The ruling class could not engage in mass theft of a nation's wealth without corrupting the public. If your wealth is tied up in your 401k, you cannot oppose them. You will not oppose them. You belong to them.
Inflation is economy-wide FOMO. Everyone rushing to buy lumber at $1500, housing starts plummet with lumber at $700. "My money is losing purchasing power, I will lose more if I don't buy more now." And then you lose more. That's stagflation.
USG should strip the Federal Reserve of monetary authority. Let it continue to exist as central bank for the private market, but FRNs no longer legal tender. Solve the U.S. government's debt problem real fast because USTs are deliverable in FRNs.
Wind is a failure. Full stop. Climate change for any reason means shifting wind patterns. Solar power will fail next because police won't be able to stop mass theft of panels.
In the 1970s, the movie Death Wish was made. In the 80s, Bernie Goetz had enough. In the 2020s or 2030s, vigilantism will be a bigger trend. Vigilante killings will start happening with regularity. Local population will protect "hero" perps from feds.
I didn't buy into market manipulation arguments because most were rather thin on evidence. Still are. After seeing the ruling class in action the past 18 months and coordinated buying of BigTech to keep indexes up, it's rather clear.
