    There may very well been execution delays if all of the US Mint's customers were trading doggy at the same time. I have noticed over time that when my desktop is slow with RH, all I have to do is move over to the phone app where I have yet to see any execution delays.

    No issues with Robinhood or DOGE here. Sounds like more misinformation.

    Look of the Great Reset? Central banks and their digital currencies will replace the traditional banking system. After all, CBDC's complete the transfer of power from those who hold/have money to those who issue and control it's availability. Martin Armstrong revealed this a year ago.

    And yes, precious metals and cryptos stand in the way, look for roadblocks to the desire to hold them.

    Sovereign debt is no longer relevant. The Magic Money Tree (MMT) solved that problem. Question now is "at what price?"

    Agreed. Obsessed with other issues while their world is crumbling and falling apart around them. But to be fair... it's not just the younger generation... there are quite a fewer older ones that have been blind to what is going on... and they should know better.

    That's a cute and easy thing to say... but makes no rational sense to me, and I have no idea what you are talking about or what your underlying point is. But perhaps you can enlighten me.

    @tincup asked “ What strings am I pulling that is causing this? Especially since you do not know anything about me.”

    I apologize if my comment seemed offensive. It was absolutely not aimed at you as an individual, but was more of a commentary on our society. To the extent that it is a collective critique, I of course include myself among the many who could benefit from greater self reflection.

    My point would require a very lengthy essay, but is broadly as follows: the problems we as a society are facing do not stem from a small number of people in power (whether bankers or politicians or bureaucrats of ceos) “pulling strings”, To greatly over simplify, it stems from our cultural tendency to look for instant gratification, to consume more than we produce, to fail to reflect on the long term ramifications of today’s action, etc. We are the victims of our own behavior, and may benefit from a bit of self reflection.

    " Get a life. "

    Thank you once again for your concern for my well being and life. I assure you I do have a life; and life is good for me. So you don't have to worry about me.

    Unfortunately I do tend to look beyond my own circumstances, and have some compassion for others. I do have concerns for what I see will likely cause many challenges to come.

    One thing that puzzles me. If you are thinking this thread is foolish and not worthwhile or alarmist or whatever... why are you still looking at it? Why even read it... let alone post on it. Do you not have anything better to do than to throw some slings at those who do find relevance in this thread? Perhaps you need to "look in the mirror" and "get a life" yourself?

    Like a friend of mine reminded me at times when I was complaining about something (which was probably trivial in perspective). " If you don't like what's playing on the TV... just change the channel. "

    @morgansforever asked: “ What does the end look like?”

    It’s unlikely to be sudden and well defined. I can tell you where it won’t be: hyperinflation. It likely will be a period of double digit inflation, scaling back of SS and medicare benefits, some degree of means testing of SS and medicare, increased SS taxes, a possible Federal VA tax, higher gas taxes.

    Hyperinflation is usually the result of a loss of confidence in gov.com and loss of confidence in the currency.

    When over 50% of the population have no appreciable savings to fall back upon in a debt-based system, and when gov.com can’t seem to get away from increased spending at a seemingly exponential rate - and when the result of these policies includes both increased taxes and decreased benefits on a relative scale - the obvious fallout will become an ever increasing loss of confidence in the system, especially within the middle class.

    We haven’t yet begun to see the difficulties that will occur on a personal level, but history is replete with examples of currency debasement that our “leaders” continue to ignore.

    These factors are not conducive to maintaining any confidence in either gov.con OR in the currency. If cohodk’s projection of 20% higher prices within a year becomes reality, check back with us then to see if the sentiment has become any less “negative”. There’s a big difference between negative vs. being a realist. Got metals?

    Next up: World Economic Forum's "Cyberpolygon" exercise in July to simulate supply chain infrastructure cyber attack.

    Follows WEF's Event 201 exercise, a war game launched in October of 2019. Event 201 simulated a global novel zoonotic coronavirus pandemic (supposedly spread from bats to people) that “required” a global lockdown response. Only two months later the real thing actually happened. Almost every aspect of the Covid event has played out exactly as was practiced during the WEF war game.

    Modeling a massive cyberattack in advance before it happens? Gas pipelines & meat processors? Yeah, but if you mention anything, you're a conspiracy nutcase. We never did the the story on Building 7's implosion. Nothing surprises me now. Lots of diversions to take our attention away from the chicanery going on all around us.

    Any major corporation that hasn't planned for these sort of contingencies doesn't deserve to be in business. Contrary to what the social justice warriors and nonproducers would have us believe, it's a competitive world.

    Greenspan did not invent no doc loans

    Much worse, he helped create the enviornment for them. Greenspan and his two accomplices pictured above testified under oath before congress that there was no need to regulate financial derivatives because they offered no threat to the economy. Their testimony was a Wall St. necessity and in direct conflict with that given by then CTFC Chairman Brooksly Born that derivatives were a major threat to the stability of the economy and should be regulated. We now know who was right and who was way, way, way wrong.

    Little did we know that the crew declared "to save the world" in 1999 would help bring it to its knees by 2008. A prime example of why public servants/regulators in the financial arena should not be selected from the rank and file of Wall St.

    A must see: PBS's The Warning

    Funny how these guys begin speaking newspeak while working at the Fed, then go back to saying what they truly believe once out of its clutches. Greenspan started talking up gold again as the only way to battle inflation once he wasn't Fed President, just like he had said decades earlier.

    Venezuela apparently has one of the largest oil reserves in the world, and not that long ago they were South America's most prosperous country until they nationalized PDVSA and kicked out the oil people who know how to run an oil enterprise - as their production and revenues have cratered because of lack of know-how and experience. And you think that it was about sanctions? Yeah, right.

    True enough that the USA is not Venezuela, but shutting down the Keystone Pipeline Project in an ill-advised war on petro fuels, only to watch gas prices jump higher in a matter of months is not my idea of good resource management. And now Biden has waived sanctions on Russia's Nordstream II Pipeline to Europe. I'd like some knowledgeable savant to explain that one to me, because I sure don't get it.

    And spending $trillions to subsidize EVs? Did Elon buy someone off?

    Only as an importer of others' goods. That makes us dependent not dominating. We do however export bad central bank policy. CBDCs are the future and will be used to devalue money at their onset. This is how the great reset in the US will occur - one day you have a hundred dollars in your local bank, the next day it becomes sixty (or less) dollars in your new central bank account.

    Our government "of the people, for the people" is $31+ trillion in debt. Our personal debt is at all time highs. Failure is baked into the cake and is simply a matter of time.

    65.7 million of the those brightest, most industrious and ingenious folks on the planet receive welfare that is funded by the remaining 254.3 million taxpayers. Makes you wonder which group is the actually the brightest and most ingenious. As the number of taxpayer assisted voters grows, it will eventually reach the point where it can determine, expedite and deliver the predicted failure.

    You place too much blind faith in others. They are not all as propserous as you and most would not hesitate, given the opportunity, to take from you more than just your tax dollars. Civil disruptions/riots in recent years have shown us this if nothing else. So while you publicly praise your fellow Americans, how many guns do you privately stockpile to protect you from them? Some choose the protection of guns, some choose the protection of precious metals. Some of us choose both.
