Good evening all,

It's a Canadian article but applicable to south of the Great Lakes.

 

"We Are At The Early Stage Of The Biggest Cobra Effect In The History Of Economics"

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/we-are-early-stage-biggest-cobra-effect-history-economics

"We have just lived through a colossal public-private experiment where fiscal and monetary policy globally have been unleashed at unprecedented proportions. It is easy to sit back and think the 2021-2022 recovery will be much like the 2009-2010 vintage. This is a mistake.

"A year ago when we laid out our high conviction reflation trade, inflation engines were limited to some supply chain disruptions. Today, we are looking at multiple inflation furnaces cooking away as we speak.

"Today, we are looking at a whole new serpent, a far different beast. ESG inflation side effects are oozing through the commodity market (oil, gas, copper), and the agricultural inflation engine has rarely been stronger.

"Real GDP in 2Q is on pace to print 12% q/q annualized rate -nearly double 1Q’s performance –with weekly tax data, weekly rail traffic, and monthly regional manufacturing indices are all surging, inflation risk highest in a decade.

"For S&P 500 companies, the uncertainty factor on forward-looking profit margins has just moved from blue-sky to dark grey, in terms of true visibility.

"Up until now, all the inflation-reflation forces we have witnessed have been supply-driven. As vaccinations reach critical broad distribution targets. We have yet to see real, vaccine-fired demand-induced inflation.

“'Despite printing more than $80bn in revenue, +50% YoY, the FAAMNG companies really have not moved YTD. Arguably, these big Tech companies are the world’s best businesses and are failing to catch a meaningful, sustained bid.' - JPM

"Tech stocks will get destroyed as we move to the next act of this inflation beast."

The Cobra Effect

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/...the-cobra-effect-no-loophole-goes-unexploited

"A current example

"This week Brigham Young University issued the following warning: “Students who…have intentionally exposed themselves or others to [Covid-19] will be immediately suspended from the university and may be permanently dismissed." BYU apparently received credible information that some students were trying to become infected in order to score a bigger paycheck when donating plasma.

"Healthy individuals are paid $50 per visit by a plasma donation center near the BYU campus. However, the same donation center offers $100 per visit for those with Covid-19 “convalescent plasma.” Like entrepreneurs seeking to capitalize on a niche market, some students may have seen Covid-19 as an opportunity to apply what they learned in Economics 101 about supply and demand."

Isn't that just fantastic -- covid for profit!!!

In the same article, a socialist firearms buy-back program is described. Sub-normal-IQ do-gooders imagine that they can get firearms out of the hands of felons. The consequences were that gun dealers brought in hundreds of useless firearms that had been used in trade for new firearms sales. The gun dealers made out like bandits. Many locals brought in useless firearms and used the buy-back proceeds to purchase new very-functional firearms.

Do-gooders are pathetic. Truth be told, they are not only dangerous to themselves, they are dangerous to society.

Buying land in the country

Old Geezer hates this because now he can't afford property in his home state due to the buy-up of land by those with no shortage of funds. It's great that conservatives are moving out of cities to conservative regions, but is sure does drive what I must pay through the roof.

The polarization of Americans is that not only are their voting is 180 degrees out of phase with each other, they are physically dividing. Conservatives are voting with their boots. Conservatives, the productive people, are abandoning the cities. Cities are being left with useless/dependent people. The useless people do vote for government handouts, helping the socialist Democrat Party; however, they soak taxes, they pay few taxes and when they do they are using money that the government handed out to them = economic death cycle.

The trend of there existing two camps of states, Amerika vs. America, is gaining speed. The two groupings of states WILL result in the former USA splitting-up. It's just a matter of time.

Any resistance to this process WILL result in civil war.

"A few other factors are impactful in shaping attitudes about where to live. Politics plays a significant role, with liberals diverging from the rest of the nation. Large numbers of conservatives (40 percent) and moderates (32 percent) would like to move to the country, compared to just 10 percent of liberal identifiers. In contrast, the plurality of liberals—46 percent—aspire to live in cities, compared to a much lower number of both conservatives (15 percent) and moderates (29 percent). It should come as little surprise that voting outcomes reflect these realities as well."

"(PatriotWise)- As the Chinese coronavirus pandemic rages on, data shows that more Americans are escaping Democrat-run, failing cities than ever before. According to the annual migration report from U-Haul, the van and storage rental firm, data shows people leaving the cities and moving to Republican-run suburbs to enjoy a better life.

"In 2020, the report shows that there was a large surge in people moving home. The most popular state people moved to was Tennessee. The data shows that the state had the most one-way rentals for U-Haul trucks, indicating more people moving to the state permanently. It’s a surge of 12% over 2019.

"Probably unsurprisingly, California was last on the list. The state has been plunged figuratively into darkness with repeated lockdown orders put in place by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom."

 

Yes..indeed Olde Geezer...

I know people who are making plans to flee.....as things wax worse and worse..and worse.

They want me to flee with them..but I am not making any such plans.

Not sure it will be even safe on the roads should it get that bad...

Not an Ishmaelite.

 

Take notice of all the moving rental trucks on the road .

 

Very little board and nail homes being built , just look around . A trip to the lumber store will explain that phenomenon . --- As the group behind the razor wire keep printing up money and throwing it out to appease the masses and " attempt to prevent a civil war " take note of all the " help wanted " signs posted throughout towns . That is because with all the so called stimulus money being distributed on an almost monthly bases there is no need to work . Don't think truck drivers and farm workers will not also stop showing up for work , thus expect food to soon take a rapid rise in price .

 

Those that failed to adequately prepare may now have lost their opportunity . Thinking and planning ahead of the rest of the crowd is a preppers primary tool . I had my survival property bought and established years ago , though it is a never ending process of digging in deeper in preparation of the upcoming onslaught . --- For whatever it is worth at this point , some think in terms of a nice luxuries home when thinking about relocating instead of considering what they can actually afford . For example about 4 days ago I and 3 more of my group traveled 1700 miles one way by ground to look at property that we were considering buying as a 2nd. fall back retreat . We seriously considered building a tree house to live in , on the property but in the end decided to not buy . --- Another point on purchasing survival retreat property that can be utilized by some . My group " all family " pool our resources including finances to potentially buy up property as Old Geezer likes to say " like the borg ".

 

Probably a good thing that the sale did not go through......seems like 1700 miles would be a LONG way to safely travel....if you really needed to get to that backup retreat

 

That long distance was also on our minds . We however are also working toward air evacuation . Our 17 year old member now has his airplane piolet license and is now working toward airplane instrument license . A big hurdle is the airplane purchase , but is in our plans . Our piolet could have flown us to our destination last week but we would have had to rent a airplane and the cost was not practical . What our piolet suggested was , if we bought the property was to rent a aircraft hanger near our far off property and put a vehicle inside . Then when we flew in we could swap out the airplane and vehicle and continue on the final leg of our journey .

 

If things are that bad, would the ground instrumentation be working for your pilot to use their 'airplane instrumentation license'? For all the expense & risk (plane, hanger, extra vehicle and final leg of trip) couldn't you find a suitable place closer?

 

No doubt our prepping is extreme . As for as airplane navigational working in a S.H.T.F. situation , I will admit have no idea . Actually we do already have a remote fallback position with a survival structure on it much closer to our primary survival retreat . The for off location that was being considered was a secondary fallback position . And actually the chances of us bugging out from our primary position is very unlikely . However we are already seeing the new crew in power over U.S. Citizens waging war on White people , Christians and anyone that is prepared to resist the Covid 19 shot . It indeed would in all probability take a government equipped army to cause us to evacuate our primary survival retreat .
