The way to bring back the economy is not continuing growth.
It's to shift the economy from the wealthy to the working class.
The stock market is an extortion racket.... They funneled money into food and fuel commodities which caused the inflation like they did with housing CDOs 2 decades ago and somehow people didn't see the meteoric rise in housing as inflation until now?
Dumb
Elon musk is deep state like the rest. Censorship is still going on and shadow banning is widespread. I don't understand how people are falling for this guy who still promotes electric car bullshit with the asshole posts he made about lithium "we will coup whoever we want".
The Twitter files were a limited hangout and they supplied no source documents. WTF is journalism by screenshots? Taibbi still makes fun of those who doubt the 911 story... Makes sense why he was picked, and Bari Weiss... A propagandist through her whole career. I'm not sure about shellenberger, he seems fine...
Also, I really don't think Trump is going to change shit.
He had chances before and kept the swamp full....
Nowadays he's got RFK Jr, but last time Trump ended up listening to Bill Gates and denied Kennedy access to the vaccine safety database.
Also, Trump still talks like the COVID vaccines are good. WTF?
Notice how all the cases against Trump were trumped up bullshit, not the actual issues. They did the same thing when they went after Clinton. Trump didn't lock up Hillary either, he basically said what Obama said about why he didn't go after Bush.... Pfft
I hope I'm proven wrong and things get better but I'm not smoking that hopium!
When I think of economic growth in money, there's a funny point that Keynes made.
If you pay someone to dig a hole and someone else to dig it, GDP goes up for both. That's counted as growth 😂.
He thought it was a good thing, but both jobs are bullshit.
This economy can serve us better if we stopped looking for this bullshit growth and spent money on needs instead of gambling on more business and having to compete in many already saturated and/or monopolized markets.
LOL! That's what happens when you pay glorified sociologists - aka "economists" - to use physics equations. Basically, children playing with matches. What could possibly go wrong?
So glad you’ve got Elizabeth Nickson on. Some of the links in my last Substack lead to other sources corroborating much of her work. The connections between powerful political figures and the Cartel del Sol in Venezuela explains a lot, particularly about the Biden Harris border policy.
The Science Fiction movie "Serenity" is basically a story of MKultra after a few hundred more years of development. Ignore some of the scientific incongruities.
Jim, kudos for having Elizabeth Nickson as a guest! She's such a great writer. I look forward to future discussions between the two of you, hopefully as both our nations adjudicate the b.s. we've had to endure.
I appreciated the way she shared how the crowds moved her: “Millions of people who love their country, who want to live in dignity again, after being ritually humiliated, degraded, and deprived of all forms of life and liberty for decades.”
To hear him dissemble. Hopefully we've heard the last of him, though. The Clintons should both be dead before long now too, so that's another major plus.

Agreed. 7% growth for ten years? Not gonna happen. We'll be lucky if the economy shrinks at that rate and doesn't collapse altogether.

+10 for Serenity shoutout. Bigtime Firefly fan here.
It didn’t originally occur to me, but the operative was probably a graduate of the same program.
Roger that.
Shiny!
Gee...She referred some of us to you recently.
You're both grand craftspeople of the art and science of the Written Word.
like!
I love Nickson’s ‘stack - so glad that you’ve recommended her!
Jim, kudos for having Elizabeth Nickson as a guest! She's such a great writer. I look forward to future discussions between the two of you, hopefully as both our nations adjudicate the b.s. we've had to endure.
This is an awesome interview!
Great interview. Here’s the link to the article by Celia Farber that was mentioned: https://open.substack.com/pub/celiafarber/p/we-have-won-the-culture-war-it-was?r=4m0y9a&utm_medium=ios
I appreciated the way she shared how the crowds moved her: “Millions of people who love their country, who want to live in dignity again, after being ritually humiliated, degraded, and deprived of all forms of life and liberty for decades.”
Loved this interview
She is another one of my weekly must reads. Could not agree more with this excellent summary. Highly recommend!
I would love to hear an interview with B.Obama, now, on any subject.
Why?
To hear him dissemble. Hopefully we've heard the last of him, though. The Clintons should both be dead before long now too, so that's another major plus.
Thank you for the reference.
Thank you, JHK.
