Distorted Reality

It shows you what a distorted reality we are all in when it is thought to be a good thing that the government is giving away “free” money to everyone.

When the sugar high wears off after this latest round of the dole, the reality of our dire economic situation, with persistent high unemployment, will sink in. That’s when the Federal Reserve-induced stock market rally begins to unwind. You won’t want to be in it when that happens. The stock market takes the escalator up but the elevator down, as the saying goes. When there are no buyers and all sellers, you won’t be able to even get into your account to make sell orders.

Biden and the Left-Wing Dems

America is now in real decline… Things will just get worse — and then even worse — from here. It’s over. Figure out how to protect yourself from a future that will include civil disorder on a large scale, with no help coming from the “authorities”. You are going to be on your own, as in left to your own devices. Have a gun for your own protection; know where you can get food if there is no distribution to grocery stores, as in keep at least a 3-6 month supply of canned and dry food; know where you can get water if the municipal water system breaks down and have a method for treating it; know what shelter you can rely upon if law and order really breaks down.

The Dems war on fossil fuels will lead to government regulation restricting their production in the US so this will mean that, with less supply, the cost of oil and natural gas will go up causing inflation — not just in the cost of energy but in the cost of all those myriad products where oil and natural gas play a significant role. We have already seen a significant rise in the cost of food, but this may explode.

Due to the massive increase in the welfare state to take care of all the unemployed, taxes will go up enormously for the wealthy but also for the middle class. This tax drain on available capital means there is much less available capital to underwrite new businesses and venture capital activities, which in turn means that our slow-growth economy in the last decade will become a no-growth or even contracting economy with fewer and fewer jobs created.

Open borders means the country will be flooded by poor immigrants from Latin and South America, and these immigrants will compete with lower- and middle-class Americans for fewer and fewer jobs. This poor immigrant will be willing to work for less than his counterpart American, so guess who gets the job? If you don’t have a specialized skill that sets you apart from everyone else, then you are also among those competing for jobs against these poor immigrants.

The height of this dystopia is a much higher inflation economy with fewer and fewer jobs and more and more unemployed seeking them. At some point, the staggering amount of government debt brings down both the dollar as well as a bankrupt federal government — the seemingly endless gravy train of government borrowing and spending finally comes to an end with a bang.

The worse this gets, the more the left-wingers will blame imagined racists, misogynists, fascists, alt-whatever, etc., as is their practice already — when it’s they who are the problem. The worse it gets, the greater the censorship imposed by the left-wingers, and the greater the imposition on our liberties. A police state with arbitrary central-government rule is the final cruel stage.

If this is what actually happens, would you want to remain here in the US? Where would you go?

Is all of the above overly pessimistic? Time will tell. But if you want to see what the US will look like in 10 years, you just have to look at what the Dems-controlled California has become today — extremely high taxes, high rates of extreme and widespread poverty, semi-bankrupt cities with tent cities everywhere for the homeless, low economic growth, mass exodus to other states to escape these conditions, etc. That’s our future under the left-wing Democrats. The lunatics are in charge, as the don’t understand the consequences of their actions or, if they do understand, they don’t care.

Climate-Change Solution

The solution to the climate-change problem should focus on carbon extraction rather than suppression of the use of fossil fuels that remain so critical to our economies. The objective should be to reach an equilibrium between the amount of carbon put into the atmosphere by man-made activities and the amount removed from the atmosphere, so that the net difference is zero.

  1. There should be widespread and government-sponsored reforestation programs in every state in the United States as well as a ban on all wood burning, whether in homes or for generating fuel. Trees must be regarded as nearly sacred entities.
  2. There should be a similar widespread and government-sponsored soil enrichment program, so that arable land is allowed to restore itself at least every other year with natural vegetation, which naturally absorbs huge quantities of carbon if allowed to restore itself.
  3. New industrial technologies should be further developed for extraction of carbon and other greenhouse gases directly from the atmosphere, and done on a large enough scale to impact the critical equilibrium.
  4. There should be a carbon tax on plants that release carbon and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, so that these plants will need to quantify the amounts released and pay a tax on those amounts, which should induce them to either reduce the amounts released or seek an alternative to releasing them, i.e., trapping and solidifying the gases into solids that can be buried as an alternative, and thereby avoiding the carbon tax altogether.

The solution to the climate-change conundrum is EXTRACTION, not suppression.
