Anybody Catch Tucker Carlson Tonight?

Er... what? How will it be the end of the world?

A treasury bond collapse would dwarf a US dollar collapse. All trade with the USA would cease immediately.

Well, I doubt that's close right now.
And look at the causes of WW1, didn't end the world, did it, and it caused HUGE problems.

The world can outlive even the destruction of humans....

Well...no...the planet itself would not explode. But what would you call it where nobody could get their meds from pharmacies?

I would call it the end of the world.

Sen. ron johnson today asked janet yellen..."Do you intend to take the debt to 50 trillion"?

She said yes.

The reality is we're fucking our environment up. We're using so many antibiotics that they'll be useless soon, the Chinese are in antibiotics overdrive, putting in 4 times more than the US into animals to make themselves richer, and the US uses too many already as it is.

People will die from simple things we can treat now simply because humans are too selfish to give a damn about the future.

No argument there.

But when 25% of the population drops dead from no heart or diabetes meds and another 25% go mad from no anti-depressants...we're in a whole new world.

And that's just one aspect of not raising the debt ceiling. Then ya got food, gasoline, electricity...etc...etc...

A word to the wise, modern night vision, and most new rangefinders have GPS built in.

They can be shut off remotely, but, more importantly, they can be tracked.

Well, there are also too many humans, an apocalypse event which kills off 75% of humanity still would leave us with more people than existed 200 years ago.

Again...no argument.

But I don't want to see that happen!

Well, I think it's a 50/50 toss up between that and we just have technology that gives the powers that be the ability to control humans almost totally. Either way we're fucked.

Tucker peddles fear. When the republicans are in power he peddles fear of being undermined and overthrown. When the republicans are out power he peddles fear of everything burning down.

Our currency has slowly been reduced over the years as a percent of total circulation. It's not a big deal. The risk in investing in China's currency is real and one drop will send people running home.
