A bit of scatter-shot in this article. I suspect, like many, an awful confusion about our economic futures with an excess of variables to consider. I'd almost need another article to even comment with understanding. China is in some sort of paralysis created by zero covid. Russia has huge limitations in exploiting their own resources and is in the process of trashing a lot of materiel and troops in Ukraine in a logistics war that it can't possibly compete. No nation is prepared or willing to accept the sacrifices that were endured to support WW2. We can hope that the energy crisis can be resolved because it was self-induced; in the process of re-alignment the public will suffer again. Proper leadership would help but incompetence seems endemic as leaders defer to an excess of poor advisors.

BTW, from my viewpoint your Johnson's problems seem to stem from his becoming ill. In recovery he seemed a changed person. His confidence seemed to decline. But we shall see what Truss can do.

I do love the care and attention that you devote to my scribbling HH, and thank you for adding to my readers understanding; clearly you are a deep thinker. I do confess to being somewhat confused myself as to how the geopolitics are playing out which is why I suggested playing 'RISK' for fun with my family in due course.

You may be further informed by visiting by 'Burning Platform' site where I post an additional weekly financial report (not on Substack) contributed by my good friend and colleague, Gerry at BOOM economics in Brisbane. He was a massive help when I was writing my book in 2013-2018, contributes the Forward and we continue to work together as we attempt to clarify events as they occur:

Gerry also writes a specialist Covid daily updated site (he is a medical doctor, a clinical operator for 35 years and a geneticist): https://cmnnews.org/

If you are happy with his excellent Covid reports site please distribute the link.

Good to have you on board HH supporting my mission to reveal the truth without fear or favour.
