There is nothing incorrect with being optimistic, however blind optimism can be a very dangerous thing. The reason that so many of the “professionals” were stunned by the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009 is since they didn’t wish to think that such a thing could take place. Regrettably, we are witnessing a similar pattern now. Despite the fact that we are absolutely drowning in debt, inflation is wildly out of control, our currency is being changed into bathroom tissue, the real estate market has started to crash and mass layoffs are being performed all over the country, a lot of the “specialists” continue to firmly insist that whatever is going to be just great. For instance, the following comes from a CNN short article entitled “The case for a 2023 United States economic downturn is falling apart”…
Numerous CEOs, financiers and economists had actually penciled in 2023 as the year when an economic downturn would hit the American economy.
The thinking was that the US economy would grind to a halt because the Federal Reserve was successfully slamming the brakes to squash inflation. Companies would lay off employees and inflation-weary Americans would slash spending.
Umm, I dislike to disrupt CNN’s wishful thinking, however the reality is that businesses truly are laying off workers.
In fact, the number of job cuts that have been revealed through the very first five months of this year is 315 percent higher than the variety of task cuts that were revealed through the first five months of last year.
And more workers are being laid off with each passing day. Earlier today, I was saddened to learn that Spotify has just chosen that yet another round of layoffs has actually ended up being required …
Just a few months after announcing a significant wave of layoffs, Spotify prepares to carry out another round of layoffs. This time, the job cuts will impact the podcast division as part of a business reorganization. In specific, the business prepares to merge Parcast and Gimlet Studios.
In an internal memo, Sahar Elhabashi, Spotify’s head of the podcast division, revealed that the business was making changes that would cause a workforce decrease of 2%. This change will affect around 200 jobs and those who are affected have actually currently gotten an invitation to talk with someone from the HR department.
Much like in 2008 and 2009, a lot of people that are losing their tasks are falling out of the middle class due to the fact that they don’t have any sort of a cushion to fall back on.
The ranks of the hungry and the homeless are rapidly growing, and this has actually produced an unmatched crisis in a number of our biggest cities.
The homeless that are genuinely destitute tend to reside in camping tents, but those that have at least a bit of money frequently live in Recreational vehicles. At this point, it is being approximated that over 11,000 homeless individuals are residing in RVs in Los Angeles County alone …
There are, by the latest count, more than 11,000 people residing in RVs across Los Angeles County. And that number has actually been increasing. The Covid-19 pandemic forced more individuals into poverty. A few of the RV occupants have jobs but either don’t wish to pay apartment rent, or can’t pay for to pay it, in a city where the typical one-bedroom apartment or condo costs around $2,500 a month.
Of course anywhere there is a homelessness crisis there is almost always a drug crisis.
Outdoors drug markets now run freely in neighborhoods all over the nation, and there are some cities where substance abuse is so bad that authorities have completely given up on trying to control it.
One of those cities is San Francisco, and as a result realty costs are falling there much faster than the national average…
The value of residential property in crime-ridden San Francisco has dropped significantly recently, with rates stopping by around 16.7%. This contrasts with a more moderate decrease of 3.3% in the rest of the country, resulting in a distinction of about 13.4 percentage points.
The decline in the housing market in San Francisco has actually resulted in an extra loss of around $260 billion in the value of residential property compared to what would have taken place if the city had followed the pattern revealed nationally, according to the proving ground Hoover Organization.
Zillow, a real-estate marketplace business, forecasted that the value of San Francisco’s housing stock was close to $2 trillion before the cost drop.
Needless to say, many addicts should take things in order to money their dependencies, and so we have actually seen criminal activity rates skyrocket over the past numerous years.
In Chicago, things have actually gotten so bad that a person Walgreens shop has really chosen to put nearly all of their merchandise “behind staffed counters”…
A Walgreens shop in Chicago reportedly has been revamped to allow consumers to browse just 2 aisles of products– after they travel through anti-theft detectors.
The changes at the shop on 2 E. Roosevelt Road in the South Loop location put most of the merchandise in aisles behind staffed counters, which consumers can shop digitally through kiosks, according to Block Club Chicago.
Many other retailers are shutting down stores in cities such as Chicago, San Francisco and Portland permanently.
Our society is melting down right in front of our eyes, however do not worry.
CNN states that everything is going to be simply great.
You think them, do not you?
The Chinese certainly aren’t buying it. In current months they have been stockpiling enormous quantities of gold…
China contributed to its gold reserves for a 6th straight month, extending a flurry of purchases as central banks around the globe expand their holdings of bullion amid intensifying geopolitical and economic threats.
China raised its gold holdings by about 8.09 lots in April, according to information from the State Administration of Forex on Sunday. Overall stockpiles now sit at about 2,076 lots, after the country increased reserves by about 120 loads in the five months through March.
Central banks have actually bought large amounts of gold in the past year to diversify possessions, along with to safeguard reserves from the impact of a weakening dollar and rampant inflation.
The reason why the Chinese are stockpiling gold is since they can see that a global recession is coming.
And everyone else ought to have the ability to see it too.
Conditions in the short-term are going to progressively worsen, and in the long-term they are going to get actually bad.
But most Americans are just going to continue to trust our political leaders and the “experts” on tv that are guaranteeing them that we are going to be able to prevent a significant meltdown somehow.
So they aren’t going to do anything to get prepared, and in the end they will be definitely blindsided by an economic tsunami that they were absolutely encouraged would never ever come.
