The Economic Collapse

If you ask 1,000 different Americans about the state of the U.S. economy, you will get 1,000 different opinions.  But what is the truth?  In this article, I am going to share information with you that is indisputable.  I like to examine things from an analytical point of view, and so I always want to know what the cold, hard numbers are telling me.  And what the cold, hard numbers are telling me is very troubling.  The following are 10 economic facts that nobody can deny… (Read More...)

You don’t have to convince insurance companies that 2025 has been “the year of the disaster”, because they have been getting pummeled by record high losses. As you will see below, there have been tens of thousands of wildfires in the U.S. so far this year, and we just keep getting hit by one “1,000 year storm” after another.  Nobody can deny that what we have been experiencing is not even close to normal.  Of course if someone actually did want to try to make the argument that “everything is fine”, that individual would have to explain why insurance companies are facing “record-high global insurance losses” from the first six months of this year… (Read More...)

By the time we got to this stage, I always thought that far more people would be awake.  Perhaps the reason why so many Americans are still sleeping is because the major wars that are currently raging are happening on the other side of the planet.  It is easy to relax when nobody that you know personally is in the line of fire.  But the truth is that if World War III continues to escalate, it is just a matter of time before the whole world will experience a tremendous amount of pain.

All of the other crazy things that have been happening in the world have kind of overshadowed the fact that there has been a lot of very alarming shaking along the Pacific “Ring of Fire” lately.  Dozens of volcanoes have been erupting, hundreds of sizable earthquakes have been occurring, and a lot of people that live in the affected areas are really freaking out.  Is all of this shaking leading up to some sort of a historic disaster?  Only time will tell, but it is being reported that scientists “are concerned about the increasing activity in the Pacific Ring of Fire”… (Read More...)

There has never been a month quite like July 2025.  We are only about halfway through the month, and there has already been more than a dozen catastrophic flooding events around the world.  As you will see below, many of those flooding events have occurred in the United States, and now forecasters are warning us that more flooding is on the way.  Yesterday, I talked about how one prominent meteorologist has declared 2025 to be “the year of the flood”, and he is not exaggerating one bit.

Do you feel financial stress on a regular basis? If so, you are certainly not alone. As you will see below, a new survey has discovered that more than two-thirds of the entire country is feeling “anxiety and depression” due to financial stress. The cost of living is totally out of control, and it is absolutely crushing the middle class. Earlier today, we learned that the official rate of inflation has gone up again. Apparently it was the largest increase in five months, but I don’t put much stock in the official government numbers because I know how much they have been manipulated. In fact, the formula for calculating the official rate of inflation has been altered dozens of times since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, and every time they change the formula the goal is to make inflation look lower than it actually is. To me, what really matters are the prices that we are hit with on a day to day basis, and those prices have been skyrocketing. (Read More...)

So is this how it all ends?  I don’t even know how to describe the emotions that I am feeling right now.  There was so much hope a few months ago that there would be peace, but both sides appear completely uninterested in making substantial compromises at this point.  Instead, both sides are poised to dramatically escalate the war.  If we continue going down this path, it isn’t going to end well.  For decades, our leaders have been conducting war game scenarios in which a conflict in Ukraine leads to a nuclear war.  Now a conflict in Ukraine could lead to a nuclear war for real.  I feel like I am watching a slow-motion train wreck happen without any way to stop it.  It really is quite a sickening feeling.

Everybody agrees that the rich have been getting even richer in recent years.  But what about all the rest of us?  Unfortunately, it turns out that flooding the system with money was really good for the wealthy, but it has made things much worse for almost everyone else.  Poverty is rapidly growing all around us and the middle class is being systematically eviscerated.  If you doubt this, can you explain why the number of Americans dealing with food insecurity has almost doubled over the past four years?  And can you explain why store closings in the U.S. are on pace to set a new all-time record?  The middle class simply does not have the same level of discretionary income that it once did.  Today, we live in a country where 70 percent of the population feels very financially stressed.  If you are in the segment of the population that is doing really well right now, good for you. But you need to understand that most of the country is really hurting. (Read More...)
