Fast Moving Incoming Recession . . . .

My man was Paul Martin, since then there has been no P.M. or opposition leader worth mentioning.

Just questioning Jazz's yearly prediction on the down fall of the Cdn$.

Since you weighed in on the topic what does crystal ball tell you, or would you like let Jazz handle it?

So it appears that my #1 fan imbibed the Librano liquor and took a Rip Van Winkle from 2006 - 2015.

Marketers are using the ( shortage card ) to convince people to shop early and spend more for christmas presents this year. Tiss that special time of year ya know.

Port of Los Angles and Port of Long Beach have to unload and ship out 60,000 containers by Halloween night as $100 per day per container penalties kick-in starting November 1st. But this won't remotely be able to be achieved and penalties won't fix the congestion. This is beyond the shippers control.

Ironically, pre-Xmas inflation may turn into post Xmas retail discounts due to logistics and the slowdown in spending patterns . . . .

That is a great plan by worthless government idiots trying to solve a problem they created in the first place. I am sure it will work well. Kind of sad that we have to hope for a severe depression to come and save us from covid madness but that is the world we currently live in.

Considering the year that was had here, I'm thinking christmas presents for the kids will be spartan, and for the wife, hopefully she's happy with me holding a gift wrapped box somewhere around my mid-section?

"What's in the Box?"

But lord knows, that leads to more kids to buy christmas presents for... quite the conundrum!

US printed up like 10 Trillion and got 2% GDP. Canada printed up 500 B and got 0.5% GDP. Absolutely stunning.

Money printing has just made the financial cliff steeper for global economies. Wait until the discounts hit markets . . . central banks and their decade long rescue missions are pretty-much finished (IMO).

And then what?

And then what?

Then CBDC

Central bank digital currencies, still conceptual in development. Cryptos appear to have pushed central banks into digital era.

So what exactly is the future of money? How will the fallout in economies impact currency? I’m confused.

All I know, its a trainwreck in the making . . . .
