This YouTuber says that America and Europe are in the final sages of economic collapse.
Do you think that he is correct or inaccurate?
So, I am early in. But I don't think we are fully in stage seven yet. More like well seated in stage six. I don't know enough about the Middle class in Europe but suffice it to say, it seems they do pretty well.
And the dude is right, our government is now completely "bought and bossed". It reeks, I mean you call it a swamp. That is just kidding yourself. Yeah, all that nasty shit in my backyard, it is just the swamp coming back. Uh, No. Your flippin septic tank busted and it really is shit? I mean a la Trump, you can't deny it anymore.
It boggles the mind, the amount of grifting going on. When Andrew Jackson was elected president, and yeah, he was a populist, albeit it Democrat. After his inauguration, well honestly, it was probably worse than the January 6 riots. But the rioters, the looters if nothing else, didn't target Congress. They went to the White House. Cleaned it out, Jackson probably laughing his ass off, sipping some Whiskey. Well boy howdy, it is de Ja Vue all over again. That is precisely what is going on in the White House now.
I mean it is off the chain. Private jets, military housing, damn, grab a private jet and go see your girl perform. WTF? Want to ***** about it, "your fired". And this military housing thing. What is it, Hegseth, Noem, and the little prick, Miller. First, I mean they got protective detail, but it doesn't come from the Secret Service. Nope, it is the Army Criminal Investigation Unit. Hoss, they are more than stretched thin.
But that ain't the half of it. I mean I bet these "homes" come with the staff that would normally be operating for a flag officer. I am getting sick in my throat picturing it. Dude, these really smart homies got together in Philadelphia, and they worked to prevent this shit. Now, we pissing it all away.
But now, to the good part. There is this thing in Economics, kind of out there, but makes a shit load of sense and can make you a butt load of money. The Kondratiev wave. Economies move in cycles, like around 60 years, but never a spot one number, just always a pattern. And what I can't get past, and what I know not anyone that supports Trump wants to even hear about, is the election of 1894.
Grover Cleveland was elected in 1892, after failing to gain re-election in 1888. Damn, I got some great stories about him. Only president to get married while in office. He was a hoot. But in 1894 the election was about the economy, and driving that, TARIFFS. Yep, inflation, rising costs, and it was tariffs. I mean you go, "what?", you mean like today? But then, it gets scary.
Cleveland sends in the National Guard to put down the railroad worker's strike. The governor is like, "No way, you have no right". I mean now, it is like, I have seen this movie before. But here is the deal, that election, over one hundred seats in the house flipped, from Democrat to Republican. The greatest change in this nation's history. And it changed the dynamics of American politics for a generation. That was two K-waves ago.
