I re-read that article: "Let Me Explain What Happens Next..." - A Reader Sums It All Up Very Ominously", and I saw how valuable it was to help wake people up. The author appeared to be from the UK and they laid out the same details I've been saying about the economy. Which is: the economy has gone too far downward to be able to rebound quickly. When you add up all the facts the conclusion is obvious and bleak.
I was listening to Greg Hunter today and he had stats that showed that 38% of the US workforce is now on unemployment. Those are hard numbers directly from the US gov. - that does not include the under-employed and those that were working under the table and couldn't apply for unemployment. My sister's cookie business in Nashville is now almost gone. She had to move out of her rented shop downtown and is trying to make cookies from home now. Her thinking at this time is to leave Nashville and move to Montana to be close to her sons. Here is one example where her business has been drastically affected and she can't get unemployment checks or extra money from the government.
Also keep in mind that the so called essential workers are seeing cutbacks in their work hours and even they will see layoffs as the system won't be able to keep them employed either.
The economy should have recovered months ago as businesses would have been allowed to open to 100% capacity. But the democrats saw an opportunity to make Trump look bad and drag out the pandemic. So they wouldn't allow cafes to open for full capacity business, and many democrat controlled states won't allow churches to open, theaters, and a vast amount of businesses. Experts say that 60% of the business that have been shut down will never reopen again. They are still trying to exploit the pandemic for as long as possible for political purposes. This will have a negative financial effect on the nation, and yet, nothing is being done to stop this fraud and crime against the nation.
What we can expect is more of what we are seeing, and then an increase in desperation, more crime, more homelessness, more factories and businesses closing down - with no rehiring date known by the company. Things will not go back to what we considered normal. Everything will be diminished including sports, entertainment, education, construction, travel, and vacations. Drug and alcohol use is at an all time high, along with suicide rates and crime. We are now several steps into an economic depression, but the money thrown into the system has camouflaged the real severity of the problem and prevented panic in the people. And since we are several steps further into hardship, we are that much closer to hypothetical situations we only imagined in our worst nightmares. Which is: civil unrest, a national crime wave, an increased desperation for essential food supplies and the possibility of seeing this depression lasting years, not weeks or months. The nation is slowly being acclimated in slow, methodical increments to reduced lifestyles in all levels of society. Now more than ever it is time to start thinking about long term survival in the country. This should include having safe shelter, supplies, and tools and seeds for gardening. The national economy will go through highs and lows in the stock market - and deflation at times, and then inflation. Social Security checks won't come to an end, they will simply not pay for as much as they used to. Then the government will start giving cost of living increases to help compensate for the loss in money value. This is all part of the dismantling of America.
As this process continues then the chance of war increases and we could eventually find ourselves fighting a two front war around the globe. With a depression at home, wars abroad, and the threat of terrorist attacks in our cities, we will enter a period of time where we are kept in a perpetual state of panic and fear. It is this "shock" to society, families and lifestyles that controls the masses into total subservience to the government leaders that are pulling all the strings. In view of this situation, the best way to avoid those controls is to have the least amount of entanglements with the system, and be as independent and self-sufficient as possible. George Eaton
