It’s the boomer generation. Most selfish, spoiled generation in history. Raised hell in the 60s, then got into power and took us right to the brink, all while bulking up their 401ks, electing corrupt officials, turning a blind eye to unethical corporate profiteering in the ONE area that is absolutely off limits: Our health. Healthcare costs make up the biggest spending component by far, and what results did our “leaders” deliver? Half the kids are pre diabetic and chronic diseases & cancer are skyrocketing among young adults. They poisoned us. Literally. We give babies 72 vaccines, including preposterous jabs like vax for Hepatitis B (only contracted by sharing needles and sex, two things babies didn’t do). Why? Because it’s all part and parcel of maintaining a system that benefits the people who built it. You will see this becoming more and more recognized as the collective conscious can process all of this shit. History books will not have a kind word for anyone who’s over 60 right now, I’ll bet my bottom dollar on that.

OK - we get that you hate people older than you, but pull your head out; its not the 'generation', its (((who))) was handed all the power and money by those before.

And if your 'generation' is so bleedin smart and wonderful, then go ahead on and fix it...

I’m sorry but who should take responsibility for causing and exacerbating a corrupt and broken system which was taking us off a cliff, both economically and socially? There is such a thing as COLLECTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY. So who should own it, if not the people who’ve been in charge, and those who’ve put them in office? Almost every major problem in this country is a 1st, 2nd or 3rd order consequence of the 1960s / early 70s. Please tell me who else is responsible if it isn’t the generation that’s been in office / running corporations for the last 50 years? Please I want you to tell me. Who is collectively responsible? And before you say “collective action isn’t a thing” keep in mind that WE JUST SAW IT HAPPEN thanks to 18-29 year old kids who saw the despicable mess and reprehensible greed that we now have to clean up. Please, tell me who else is responsible in this republic? GOOD LUCK.

The population will be made to hurt and beg the government for some kind of relief. They will answer we can implement CBDC. First, we create the antidote, then create the poison.

I have the same sneaking suspicion. This has happened so many times throughout history—create the problem first, then offer the "solution" that benefits those in power. And, of course, the public will probably go along with it without realizing that the same people who caused the problem in the first place are now offering the antidote.

The Fed is cutting rates, yes… but they are also draining their balance sheet every week. This week they drained another $39.5 billion, last week was $21.5 billion. Over the past 2 years… $2 trillion has been drained… pretty soon something is gonna pop.

Good point, Ryan. Something potentially to write about too.

Yes, the richest and smartest guy I know keeps mentioning how the FED is handling their balance sheet and the pace at which they are shrinking it. He bought Bitcoin in the $300s, gold at $260 and silver in the $6 range… but he keeps saying that all the FED does is create and then POP bubbles…

It is time for someone with the power of a Musk to get the American taxpayer to understand that their elected representatives have "Stolen $36 trillion from them, and they have to pay it back"! There is no hiding from it, and it must be done now. But who has the knowledge, understanding, and balls to do it? We need a loud and public reckoning on what it is, how it happened, why it happened, our options, and what to expect from each option. Then, could we decide how we want it done? That will take an honest and forthright statesman and leader. Any suggestions?

Well, Musk has certainly been doing his part, especially as of late. Looking back, that’s probably exactly why he ended up buying Twitter and transforming it into what X is now—avoiding censorship for his views. He would have been kicked off, just like Trump was, under the previous management.
