Dystopia

 China despite its dens population controls the COV-2 pandemic better than the rest of the world because of a regimented control of its population, behavior monitoring and mind control, even a willingness to lock people in their apartments to stop the spread of the virus. Was the virus weaponized? We may never know. A convenient fire destroyed any evidence. Both Russia and China created a vaccine and distributed it widely with limited testing. 

The US struggles with both its willingness to regiment its citizens for social distancing, masks, quarantine, contact tracing and isolation and even the vaccine and antivirals. The struggle to control takes on a political meaning far beyond just the election and the traditional political gridlock between left and right. 

The CDC, the NIH and the FDA are federalized, but Public Health is state run and any legal authority to control behavior for public health and the common good appears to be state run, a gray area.

The pandemic, the economy, the shutdown creates a perfect storm driving us towards media control, political correctness, mind control, behavior control and an open door for the acceptance of a more totalitarian government, potentially a communist style dystopia. Was all this a staged by the CCP, or just a convenient extension of unrestricted warfare. Be careful what you wish for.

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation.

Election 2024

The November 2024 election presents a significant challenge, transcending the traditional Democrat versus Republican divide. This election will determine the future of the American Republic, Western civilization, and potentially the survival of the human species. Plato suggested that democracies tend to devolve into oligarchies, and we are witnessing that transformation before our eyes. Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

Tariffs versus Capital Surplus

"Trump is Completely Wrong on the Trade Deficit." Let Levin, Sowell, and Friedman Explain. In this interview, Melton Friedman claimed that "deficits are not bad. What's not to like about a capital surplus." In his book Arguing with Zombies, Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize economist, said, "An end to trade deficits? That's not something trade policy can or should do." The surplus profit earned through cheap foreign labor seeks the most profitable place to go. As the safest and most profitable option, that capital surplus lands in the US stock market. What's not to like about a capital surplus? That fondness intensifies with any threat of it going away, but why would tariffs be such a threat? Scott Bassett, US Secretary of the Treasury, on CNBC's Squawk Box, 4/8/25, said, "If we put up a tariff wall, the ultimate goal would be to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US. In the meantime, we will be collecting substantial tariffs. As I...
