It's such a fine line trying to help my daughter and son-in-law understand that something wicked this way comes. If I talk about it too much, they tune me out; too little and they aren't impressed. They are making more money than they ever have and she's coming over tomorrow so I can show her how to figure out if they are having enough taxes withheld. Maybe I can slip something in there tomorrow. At least they are really saving money now.

My adult children are the same exact way. They have fabulous jobs, but are spending money like there's no tomorrow. I keep telling them to save. I hope silver goes up, because I may end up supporting them both.

Right. They make lots of money, but have huge monthly expenses and eye popping debt balances. A misstep will be disaster.

I believe that this is the week. Of course, I could be wrong, but my instincts are screaming at me. Something is going to be the first piece to fall and the rest of the economy will tumble like a house of cards.

I noticed that same deposit glitch in my account last week. I bank at a small regional institution. One day the deposit was there and then it was gone. Then it came back again. I went to withdraw cash on Friday and the machine was different. People all over the country are reporting the same thing.

If the Emergency Broadcast System goes off, do me a favor and do exactly what they tell you to do. Don't FAFO (fart around and find out).

I had access to a foreign high level Intel briefing back in 2018. One key was that before the 2024 election the government and economy would grind down and the president will declare a national emergency and suspend congress.

It's hard to see another 15 months without something busting. Either some kind of attack here, to protect Biden or another health lock down all killing g wats left of the economy. We shall see. I believe the foreign Intel is spot on.

Great information as always. It is a rare thing than an individual has both astute economic acumen and spiritual wisdom. Truly the “Most Important News”.

My favorite economic indicator are the crowds at Orlando theme parks. I’m fresh off four days at Universal and my assessment is that we are heading for a big recession. Crowds are down a lot. Restaurant reservations are easy to get. Merchandise is plentiful on shelves. Not many people carried souvenirs. Not scientifically valid but the research is enjoyable.
