Are we in a Silent Depression?
a) if so, what does that mean? b) what could someone actually do at this point?
Key topics:
✔️ "Go woke, go broke" 😂 And then Bill Gates buys $95 mil of cheap stock. One of these days y'all gonna figure out that the system is rigged for the cronies and the elites, not for you and me.
✔️ Just because we're not in an agrarian society with people living in a room with a dirt floor doesn't mean it's impossible to have an economic depression.
✔️I go back to my original thesis: Gordon Gekko tried to tell you.

Are You Cutting Your Own Throat?
We live in a predatory system. It's designed for the hyper elites and the cronies, not for us. This puts the onus on us even more to caveat emptor and use good critical thinking. Get out of the FOMO and the YOLO as well as the victim mentality.
Key topics:
✔️ "Marry the house, date the rate." 😣
✔️ The cronies get bailed out. You and I do not. There is no magical safety net coming for you unless you are a huge corporation or a Wall Street power broker.
✔️ If you are job hunting, how do you behave? Are you acting like a rude jerk in interviews and then saying it's everyone else's fault?

Bogus Numbers & John's Layoff Experience
Do you have a job loss survival plan roughed out? Please keep in mind that the govt is quietly "revising" its job numbers and backing off on how supposedly "robust" the job market was and allegedly still is. So what's it gonna take?
The narrative is "oopsy daisy, who could have known? 🤪" Uh, well, anyone with common sense knows! I told you and warned you repeatedly that these numbers could not possibly have been true.

Observing the Obvious vs Seeing the Future
There is a difference!
As I have said many, many times: by the time you hear something in the MSM, you've waited too late. IMO, it's too late to meaningfully prepare by that point. More people are cluing into the reality that petitions and strikes have not reversed RTO edicts. Well, that's fine and dandy but here's the deal: for me, there's no brownie points for observing the obvious. I'd rather know ahead of time what's coming down the road. Someone stepping outside and saying, "Hey, there's a tornado out here" is different from a meteorologist telling you, "Your area is under a tornado watch. You need to be prepared to take cover quickly over the next few hours." 🤷🏻♀️

You're On Your Own
As I've said before, IMO, if someone hasn't prepared already for an economic downturn, if they think The Great Resignation is still going on and will do so forever, they really believe 3.5% unemployment rate, there's nothing I can do. 🤷🏻♀️ I started the Saturday Broadcasts when I saw the storm clouds coming and I feel like I've done what I can do. If someone is not awake, good luck.

Saturday Broadcast 61
Key topics:
✔️ ICYMI news, 8/13-8/18.
✔️ While y'all were losing yer minds over a country song and a movie, Fitch was talking about downgrading more banks, maybe even JPMorgan Chase. Does it ever seem like these neocon vs neolib stories are meant to be ridiculous distractions from real news?
✔️ Developers want to scoop up Hawaiian lands post wildfires. I can almost hear a sound in the background... "You vill own nozing und you vill be happy..."
✔️Maxed out credit cards, pay debt or buy food, etc. Does that sound like a resilient economy to you?
