The reason it will be worse than 2008 is that instead of one sector being the cause of the fuck up, there are multiple sectors that will tank this shit.

If there is one thing to take away, take away this...EVERY SECTOR, EVERY COMPANY, EVERY PERSON IS OVER LEVERAGED, AND WE ARE IN A CREDIT BUBBLE.

We are in a credit bubble of massive proportion, you have hedge funds and investment firms now trading almost 2x on margin.

But it goes beyond that, at the micro level, the simple act of deferring student loans or mortgages is an act of monetary leverage for the average person, and the lending institution.

It keeps going until a critical mass stops wanting dollars. that could be due to overprinting (including stimulus/bailouts/foreignaid/military/entitlements), that could be due to better safer wealth accumulation/storage means (i.e. crypto), it could be because of global hot/cold conflict, or it could be because of something else entirely. whenever it does happen (weeks, months, years, decades), it will likely be quick. as has been shown w/ the masking and covid lockdowns, most will assimilate to whatever they're told - and thus end up extremely poor once the dust settles. this is their fault for relying on someone else to take care of them, and not being interested/responsible for their own outcomes. equity doesn't work in the wild, and when the dollar dies, it's going to get wild for a bit.

If inflation gets out of hand, and the Fed has to raise rates, all this "free" loan money will become a lot more expensive.

right now inflation is kept at bay despite massive stimulus packages bc
a. it mostly went into the financial sector, but this will trickle down over time
b. production of goods is reduced for obv reasons
c. velocity of money is low (low spending)
d. employment/cost of employment is low

once b, c, d start to reverse as people feel the situation is improving, then we'll see a lot of inflation
thats assuming that the "situation improves", theres a good chance theyll try to psyop the population into the boxed life for as long as possible, but even if not just bc of propaganda/ideology, the power dynamic has changed irreperably, this is "the way things are" now

USA printed 5 trillion dollars last year AT A MINIMUM, and there's a possibility they printed up to 15 trillion

so no matter what the dollar is going to be devalued by at least 50%, up to 80%

this will take some time to percolate out, like a couple years at least, but no matter what else happens this IS happening. Basic goods like groceries are probably going to remain subsidized and cheap so that people don't starve, but luxury goods (by which I mean anything not explicitly needed to survive) and real estate will go through the roof

All fiat currencies are backed by USD(Not Uzbekistan, they recently backed their fiat with Gold) and USD is backed by nothing. Fed printed 25% of all USD in existence since the founding of the nation in the last 12 months. On top of that almost all manufacturing and industry has slowly gone to China over the last few decades.

Not necessarily, remember the Dollar's value is really measured against other currencies. That's why our inflation has been kept so low even though it feels like we've had low rates for years.

The ECB and other central banks are devaluing their money faster than we devalue ours.

uniroincally, you just have to diversify your assets and hope for the best... best to put into your own skills (tech or trade skills - "certs" won't matter as much as actually knowing what you're doing), real estate, PMs and ammo, some select stocks/etf's, and of course crypto (this is the toughest if you don't understand the tech just stick w/ btc/eth and bluechip defi's (aave, snx, uni). it's kinda like driving on the highway knowing some/all of the lugs on one wheel are loose - and just not knowing if/when it's gonna fly off... but you're pretty certain if you keep going 85 over the next 400 miles, it's coming off, and it's gonna be catastrophic...but brakes are bad, and throttle is stuck, you can't stop. so you just make sure your seatbelt is on, ideally airbags are working, no loose shit in the back, windows down to minimize glass debris, etc, and just prepare for the crash.

your purchasing power vs ours (kinda). the dollar is crashing, and will continue to crash most likely w/ biden in office and all the liberal policies they'll print money for/throw away. you'll have some respite from the crash in gbp's - but you won't be immune as it's fiat - and as global commodity prices rise it will still hit you all at ever increasing rates.
>>30065473
i don't disagree - but i think you overestimate the US's ability to continue its war machine indefinitely. it requires constant spending (which will only further reduce actual demand for dollars by inflation), it requires enough able, willing, and trained individuals to fill the boots (capacity for this is diminishing), it also assumes that china doesn't dominate trade (they can literally dominate europe/asia/africa) with little to no navy. we're in a house of cards - and when other countries get sick of our monetary bullying (and if there is ANY alternative) - they will flock towards it. nobody wants the US's permission to buy/sell or move money around.

No, I don't believe we will hit hyper inflation. I believe the fed will implement deflationary QT by raising rates which will make borrowed money more expensive.

If you believe in hyperinflation, in that the fed loses all control of the markets, then yeah, borrow away, but I don't subscribe to that theory. I think it's more likely they get control of it through classical QT policies. Which makes borrowing right now sort of like buying the top of an asset. Interest rates can only go up from here (I also don't believe they will ever go negative here).

There will come a time when it will have been in vain that the Americans honored God with heartfelt piety and assiduous service; and all our holy worship will be found fruitless and ineffectual. For God will forsake America and return to Heaven.

America will be forsaken, and the land which was once the home of religion will be left desolate, bereft of the presence of its deity.

Of thy religion nothing will remain but an empty tale, which thine own children in time to come will not believe; nothing will be left but graven words, and only the stones will tell of thy piety. And in that day men will be weary of life, and they will cease to think the universe worthy of reverent wonder and of worship.

They will no longer love this world around us, this incomparable work of God, this glorious structure which he has built, this sum of good made up of things of many diverse forms, this instrument whereby the will of God operates in that which be has made, ungrudgingly favoring man’s welfare, this combination and accumulation of all the manifold things that can call forth the veneration, praise, and love of the beholder.

Darkness will be preferred to light, and death will be thought more profitable than life; no one will raise his eyes to heaven ; the pious will be deemed insane, and the impious wise; the madman will be thought a brave man, and the wicked will be esteemed as good. As to the soul, and the belief that it is immortal by nature, or may hope to attain to immortality, as you have been taught, all this they will mock at, and will even persuade themselves that it is false. No word of reverence or piety, no utterance worthy of heaven and of God, will be heard or believed.

And so God’s blessings will depart from mankind, and only evil angels will remain, who will mingle with men, and drive the poor wretches by force into all manner of reckless crime, into wars, and robberies, and frauds, and all things hostile to the nature of the soul. Then will the earth no longer stand unshaken, and the sea will bear no ships; heaven will not support the stars in their orbits, nor will the stars pursue their constant course in heaven; all voices of God’s will of necessity be silenced and dumb; the fruits of the earth will rot; the soil will turn barren, and the very air will sicken in sullen stagnation.

There won't be a crash. 2008 crisis was induced by the market. The "crisis" wasn't induced by the market but by the government because they decided to close industries due to lockdown measures.

all the talking heads I've seen the deflation ones make more sense to me. I think the Fed will capitulate to market forces. Global margin call. If they decide to do all they can with MMT and more QE that will result in a Japan situation; no hyperinflation we just go out with a whimper not a bang.
Some TV user messaged this to me; it's a 10 year deflation to hyperinflation scenario
>The key is debt. It creates a feedback loop where debt begets more debt and the short term solution is to print money. Eventually prices always catch up to money supply, this is the inflation. But first, the market is forced to deleverage - to pay up and cash out of as much debt as possible. This includes governments, which need to accumulate vast amounts of the world reserve currency (USD) to do so. This means that the largest fiscal entities in the world are forced to drive up the relative value of cash. Once this mass liquidation process is complete, there is no longer a demand for cash, allowing prices to finally catch up to the excessive supply of money.

What’s coming will be much worse than anything seen before in human history for myriad reasons.

The Great Depression we still had a 97%+ white society. Mostly high trust. Most people didn’t live in cities. Most grew their own food and knew how to do whit for themselves. Many held physical gold and silver plus things to barter with like chickens and cows for milk and eggs etc.

Many historians and highly intelligent people long ago predicted the US would Balkanize by the year 2030. We are on track for that. I got the fuck out of the city I lived in for nearly a decade. I live in an almost 100% white area surrounded by farms and fresh water. People don’t even lock their door here. Many people have more guns than they even know about.

The effect of fed action on the economic cycle is latent.

Why would the market fail? What would be the reason? So what everything is overleveraged? If the economy stays on track (and it has no reason not to), then the loans will be fine. It sounds like national debt FUD where omg country XYZ has over 100% of GDP in debt but it doesn't matter because it's all about paying the loans back. As long as the market remains bullish, they will be paid back, and there is no reason not to have it that way. The fundamentals on the biggest stocks are strong, the rest doesn't matter.

I am not sure about an crash, but we are experiencing a correction. Yields are increasing because inflation is increasing. Inflation is expected to increase due to higher projected economic growth. With vaccines rolling out and continued stimulus, the economy is projected to grow faster than anticipated.

Investors will revaluate the bond market, and some will pull out of stocks in favor of higher yields. We are seeing value stocks out perform growth for the first time in recent memory. In periods of high inflation, value stocks tend to perform better than growth. Energy, Financials, Industrials, etc. also tend to perform better under these conditions as well.

Personally, I do not think we are approaching a crash but rather are in the beginning stages of the recovery phase after the COVID recession.

Can you blame them? in all fairness, you see this exact thing happening on 4chan, with glorification of Hitler/nationalism. its all just a reaction to the disturbing aggressive liberalism that the west is incessantly pursuing.
i think a lot of people have serious congnitive dissonance when they see people like Mr Floyd get glorified on TV.
i mean, how else do you react to that? its a clown world, the only way to not go crazy is to go clownmode yourself, or take the polar opposite stance and go hyper rightwing. lots of people are desperately grasping for an idea or a figure to clutch on to that protects their identity. I think Trump was a huge signal for that. It's not Trump who people voted for, but what he represents - a stand against modern liberalism.
Now that he's gone, well, things are quite depressing if im honest.
I'm willing to glorify Stalin/USSR, if in exchange i can say outloud "I'm proud to be white", stop pretending that i think transsexuals aren't mentally ill, and to be able to selectively live amongst other whites.

>the price of goods have remained the same just doesnt feel like the apocalyptic crash many predicted
I'm not sure if this is entirely accurate, but my way of explaining this is to point out the suddenness of the mass unemployment. It was like a switch was flipped and the economy was instantly turned off one day. One good part for normal folks about this mass unemployment being extremely rapid is that businesses can't really increase prices too much instantly if so many of their customers are unemployed. It was like the one circumstance that prevented a big price increase of consumer goods.
I think we'll pay for it soon enough, just nobody can predict when the bill comes due.
The problem is that unless the economy opens up entirely, the recovery will be long and protracted and far more painful: like a bandaid that you pull out slowly rather than just yank off like you're starting a lawnmower.
You want an economic correction to be swift and painful, so the malinvested capital gets redirected to better uses and the economy gets back to work quickly. But politically this is hard to stomach for voters so we we'll just print our way out of this mess Venezuela style I guess. Have a plan for growing food, hard assets, and weathering some tough times just in case, but pray we're wrong about this.

We're still on that "smooth descent" - just gradually things get worse, and worse, and worse... until we look up and suddenly realize we should have left years ago.
tons of examples of this. by father keeps reminding me about how the USSR collapsed. in the 80s it was utterly unthinkable - simply ludicrous to propose a country so massive would "collapse". why would it ever do that? unironically too big to fail. just a silly thought.... and then in the span of 3 years shit hit the fan. not overnight, not over a month. 3 years. by the time it dawned on everyone that the country they grew up in got rugpulled under their feet, it was too late.
same thing here, probably. the UK is not the UK of 2010, not by a mile.

yeah it's mad how much has changed in a short period of time, like an exponential graph it bubbles under the surface and then breaks out when the idealology/populous reaches critical mass. All we know is its happening now and no longer speculation like the early 2010s

You may call this great depression. Except this time the patient will hang himself, because he suffers from a bunch of other illnesses.

2008 was literally nothing in comparison.

> real economy is in the toilet, has been for almost a year now
try 2009.. lot of analysts say the economy never recovered after the great recession. people just dropped out of the workforce. look at the NEETs, small towns dying of opioids. US centric but UK doesn't look so hot either; not sure about the rest.
All the growth has been debt, it takes something like $5 of debt to $12 of debt to return $1 of GDP growth.

Unironically true for at least the next 20 years.
We have better equipment, and despite a pozzed military, know how to use it better.
It takes years of actual war experience to figure out the best way to run actual combat operations.
China has spent years beating up unarmed peasants and has almost no experience in anything meaningful.
The US has been constantly fighting actual wars: easy ones, but wars nevertheless.
It would be in our best interests to fight the war ASAP when we know we'd win.
China is winning the soft conflict though: buying up infrastructure and media outlets, buying politicians, and solidifying their control everywhere. They have a chance to win longterm without firing a shot.

Also, exciting new investing opportunities for the companies which can best exploit the indigent UBI caste (which is now 50% of the country). They may be disgusting proles, but they'll cough up those fedcoins for malt liquor and vape cartridges.

steel prices have more than doubled in the last six months. people trying to rebuild this shit can't afford to buy steel, and if they do it's going right into the costs of their building. if they build a grocery store, they need to buy higher priced steel (or find alternatives), they will need to recoup costs so building prices will go up, the store's prices will go up.
