...What are they afraid of? Is retribution looming on the horizon as the rats abandon ship in droves?...

She "suddenly" saw Mussolini and Ceaușescu in her dream and understood the message!!!

Regarding vax see https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1616501901385957376. If true we may experience long term damage to many. Can't know if that was the plan all along given the incessant din about getting vaccinated with an unproven technology, the mRNA platform. The good news is that manufacturing and delivery into arms was highly variable so not everybody actually got a dose - see https://howbad.info/.

That woke lecture was spot on. I have long argued that the answer to global warming, if real, is technology. We put the stuff there we can get it out. Meanwhile the answer lies with better energy for the world, likely nuclear based. Hydrogen for vehicles that (if mastered) we already have a huge support infrastructure.

Don't think inflation is going anywhere soon. We will live with depreciated fiat for many years until we can manage the huge debt loads we have accumulated. Another hit on savers vs borrowers. As if he asset bubble created by free capital wasn't enough for savers.

Perhaps it's because 50% of the population are below average? I think it is closer to 70%; perhaps a tad bit higher.

I cherry picked this idea: the end of cheap energy is imminent. This means the end of your world of excessive privilege and security. You have to make a plan to secure the status quo and essential resources, especially energy.

In a robust free market economy (as opposed to free market capitalism) these people would have been living in a slum.

The equation is EROEI, this is what will limit the use of these declining resources. The challenge is adapting to "the end of cheap energy".

One fellow who follows the Limits to Growth timeline recently admitted he got it wrong 15 years ago. That as conventional oil declined, more labor intensive products took its place increasing, not decreasing GDP. But something has to give, and it is the price of the product as the system can only operate at a loss for so long.
