Not your average recession . . . .

Group, this is significant . . .
The M2 money supply stateside is now at its lowest point . . . ever.

Printed money vanishing as credit write-offs implode and asset values plunge. So much for Keynesian economics. The piper will be paid . . .

Isn’t m2 money supply still higher than precovid?
US companies already making excuses for poor black friday sales.

Still lots of money for ag thou I guess the world still needs farmers. Just how do they measure the success of black fridays now when they start the 1st of November and run till December 24 than are followed by boxing day sales till Jan 15 ?

The globalists have put in place all the legal mechanisms in place to "build back better". To build back implies that the current structure of capitalism including property rights must be dismantled first. In the last decade legal mechanisms have been quietly put in place in virtually all jurisdictions across Earth. In classic Helgelian Dialectic a debt crisis of their manufacture that of course will be blamed on the risky behavior of the public will facilitate the removal of all property rights.

Comment from Michael Burry this morning . . . .

The average credit card balance in the U.S. is — $7,000 and the average retail credit card APR hit a record high of 28.93% this year. Source, Bankrate.

If a credit card holder finances a $1,000 purchase at the average retail card interest rate of 28.93% and only makes minimum payments, that cardholder will owe $715 and be in debt for 50 months. How much time does the consumer have left?
