      Since 2008 the problem has only ballooned. He analyzed the issue and said no way this can continue for another couple years. But they were able to put band aids on it. But with COVID and all that NOPE that is the final nail in the coffi. We have 20% inflation now. Soon there going to have to raise the interest rates. Then thus whole BS economy comes tumbling down.

We are just as good as the blind being lead by the man with one eye. Great talk. There is soooooo much more out there we all need to keep reading, learning and building our own personal awareness.
