Crypto, blowing up the debt, moving manufacturing back to the states, ceding all foreign influence, knowing that Beijing is filling the vacuum immediately. Everything that is moving is designed to implode our currency and reset American power.
Manufacturing left American shores, because being the world’s reserve currency made paying labor too expensive for shareholders. Now it’s coming back. Coming back just in time for automation to drive the nail in the coffin of the American worker. Some jobs will be created over the next decade, sure. But it will not reflect the past, where one mill could stabilize the economy of an entire county. Employment will be piecemeal, humans will serve as troubleshoots for software and robotics. A fraction of employment will return, even if everything is created in the USA.
Local economies in distressed areas will give away the store for a flintlock's worth of hope. Big Data, robotic manufacturing will get every tax break available, they’ll make their own environmental rules. They will do it all with a weak US dollar, in hope that their privately controlled currency will become the dominant economic force where they operate.
Company towns, but that token of theirs is worth twice that of what a treasury note is. That’s how it happens in small town America.
They're setting the table for a new system that is backed by their flimsy financial products, the ones that they already have control of. All of the disconnected maneuvering is pointing directly at it. This administration, the Silicon Valley virgins, the Arabic money, this is about reshuffling the deck, forcing a new “safe” asset onto the public just as the old ones (Treasuries, trust) go up in smoke. And anyone still holding U.S. debt or faith in institutional stability? They’re the last Dutchman holding a tulip, or we all are. Our society, our people will be the ones left holding the bag. This is their raid on the store, their opportunity to dictate the next cycle, this can be their next “turning.”
In the next steps, it won’t matter who’s in charge, if deregulation and implosion happens in this term. It won't matter what culture war is trending, it’ll all be a distraction that is manufactured, a distraction to keep you reactive. Think ahead and answer the questions yourself, let's start with these.
What happens when the “safe asset” is no longer safe, who gets saved, and who gets sacrificed? How will you go forward?
What would you still believe in if every institution you trusted collapsed tomorrow?
