(5/17/22) Congress is investigating UFO's while the economy is running off the rails and inflation rages. Market performance and "cash on the sidelines;" the worst start to the year for markets since The Great Depression; the Year of Shortages and high prices now includes a baby formula shortage that was self-inflicted; negative sentiment is so prevalent, it has crept into consumer behavior; why Ben Bernanke didn't want to "shock" the markets--but should have; the dis-inflationary impact of Fed policy. Is Bitcoin nothing but a scam? Why QE is actually dis-inflationary and a wealth transfer mechanism. Politicans' sending checks caused inflation. Things that make you happy: Sex, exercise, & gardening? The rich are not who we think they are.
