Date: August 6th, 2019 1:36 PM Author: sickened tank "We’ll see who has the power when this asset bubble implodes. A lot of funny money ended up in Silicon Valley. Most of these companies aren’t worth a fraction of current valuations. The future will be a government that has to live within its means. That means, taxation roughly equalling outlays. If that happens, governments will have to contract, minimally by 50%. This will happen after the next 2008 style recession, after the deficit hits 3-4 trillion+ per year, after the bond market adjusts to this reality, and after a period of high inflation. Tax receipts roughly top out at 17% of GDP, regardless of tax rates. Suddenly, “woke” tier three college professors will have to get real jobs, and millions of others currently grifting off the current credit system.
About 10 years from now we will all be adjusting to a much smaller government, not because the people want it, but because it will be the cold reality of the traditional credit system reasserting itself. The people won’t like it one bit, and neither will the politicians. We currently have about $13 trillion in negative yielding bonds, worldwide. This is patently absurd, and these bonds will be the first to vaporize when the credit cycle adjusts. This whole era is an absurd, Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole. We tend to view the world through the prism of the present. In this case we have to step outside the false reality that the current global credit system has created.
This era of “woke” people and trannies running around will be seen as pure black comedy to future people. What we really have to worry about is that these politicians, worldwide, including the capitulating orange blob, start WW3 as a deflection from these realities and painful by necessary adjustments. Reality must be faced at some point." |

Date: August 6th, 2019 1:44 PM Author: Cordovan Doctorate Chad i'll confess (as I have in other threads) that i definitely want this to be true
if things turn upside down and those on top suddenly lose a significant chunk of their wealth, my own status is elevated by comparison
put another way, when the tide goes out, many will be revealed to be swimming naked, but i will be in trunks |

Date: August 6th, 2019 1:49 PM Author: Cordovan Doctorate Chad i'm not levered up, and my (limited) net worth is tied up in cash
i've also been miserable for the last several years blasting my student loans and deliberately avoiding lifestyle creep
psychologically, i'm inoculated against a yuge recession in a way that my free spending, east coast elite acquaintances are not
i could be wrong, but that's how i'm looking at this for now |

Date: August 7th, 2019 12:29 PM Author: Cordovan Doctorate Chad it improves if people, like the majority of my big law peers, who decided to dump their salary into the stock market instead of aggressively repaying their loans all get their portfolios wiped out
this doesn't require cash losing its value
it requires that the equity securities that comprise most 401k investments lose their value, which they ought to |

Date: August 6th, 2019 1:44 PM Author: brass associate sneaky criminal flame. will not happen for the simple fact that a major US recession == global economy 10x worse == money pouring into dollar (domestic & external) == Fed prints money
2008 was catastrophic and that was when china etc were in a much better shape. we will follow the same playbook next recession and this time Fed/USD will be even stronger |
