Erik, Another awesome post, I agree whole heartedly, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, the best way to win a fight is don't be there, it takes 2 to fight. If you don't show up you won. He also states that if you are reduced to war you have already lost! Discernment is required and many have been manipulated by the indoctrination system we call SKool, When they stop teaching math, English, science and start teaching grade school children with their forming brains that they can chose what gender they want to be and allowing them to be cats and poop and pee in a litter box the absurdity of sending children to those places becomes more relevant to the observers. This is why Homeschooling is becoming more and more popular. The parents see the agenda of public SKool as an indoctrination camp and not a learning facility. The education system doesn't identify a student's strengths and weaknesses and teach that child to do more of what they love to do. No they squash any individualism out of the children and abuse them to conform to the structure that isn't child friendly or a benefit for the child. Academics is part of the system of systems that is flawed intentionally. We are watching the collapse of the system of systems, the question is was this a planned crash or did we blow the engines off in mid flight to keep from infecting others... Love your work... Great article... Peace

I honestly wish I could sit down and show you what I have uncovered since I retired in 1984. I began really studying the stock markets and how they have performed since 1837! The key today is in seeing what we have lost due to socialism.

Actually the real loss has become serious since 2008. I can prove that the markets grew at an average annual compound rate of 8% for over 100 years including the 1929 crash, the 1987 crash and what went on in 2000. Still, that 8% CAGR held. The problem is we should be at DOW 58,000 today! But we are at just 38,000 or 20,000 points too low. The question is, “Why?”

When we are told the markets are making new highs, we are being misled into buying mediocrity. Donald Trump had America on a trajectory to get back onto our sustainable CAGR. COVID was a roadblock and the stolen election was the end game for killing the recovery that was needed due to Obama’s picking of our pockets.

Business in America is what pays for everything. The stock markets measure business’ ability to grow over time. That ability can be clearly graphed since 1837 to today and the collapse in the growth rate is irrefutable if we look at it. The problem is no one is looking at it because no one is really trying. The experts are into selling us on how great things are while the ship slowly sinks. There is still money to be made as long as we have buyers and sellers. The ship is going down slowly so the experts just need to outlive the ultimate collapse. I find that attitude to be unacceptable.
