The Americans had better get really serious about saving their democracy because it’s about to run off of a cliff. If Trump gets reelected, he’s going to go after democrats HARD.

Yes for sure. The biggest threat is what happens if the US is no longer able to pay its debt, or it can’t raise their debt ceiling and everything falling apart? The Fed’s continued printing of money is worrying.

I agree. But if we’re being completely honest, Pollievre is a populist. He’d sell his soul to the devil to be PM.

For those of us not on Reddit, this is around 1912-1914… that ballpark.

I don’t believe this for one second. I haven’t heard anything from the Ukraine administration that would suggest in any way that they are interested in peace talks. In fact, their recent choice of putting a Crimean Tatar as the Minister of Defence suggests that they are serious about taking Crimea back from Russia. I hear nothing but absolute resolve by both the Weat and Ukraine to keep fighting until a Ukraine victory.

Great message that will likely fall on deaf ears.

Worth a watch though.

When they start to tell us there’s no problem, there’s a problem. The US dollar is in decline as the world currency. Too much debt by the US is making other countries nervous to hold too much of their dollars.

We’ve gone through a very long time at very low interest rates. This means that investors who would normally buy bonds for safekeeping have no choice but to put their money elsewhere. For example, stocks and Real estate.

Due to the free money that we had before interest rates started to rise, stocks were at an all time high but it’s not based on fundamentals and higher earnings, so P/E ratios have gotten worse. And there has yet to be a big market correction (that is coming). This makes value investors nervous, but again, there’s nowhere else to put the money that gets a good return.

So what would you do if you can’t buy treasury bonds and the market is a big bubble? Real estate. Also, the real assets is good to offset any bad bets a corp made in the casino we call a stock market.

So yeah… corporations. All you have to do is follow the money. It’s always the same old story. Raw greed and political corruption.

It’s definitely corporations. It has been for a long time. I knew that corporations were pushing up housing prices for at least 10 years.
