It sounds like you've been through a lot more than I have. My life
has been pretty sheltered, compared to yours.

I wanted to find a picture to go along with my response, and I
came across the following:

Image
  • Uighur girls in Chinese city. Notice the high nose, the fine
    white skin, bright eyes, and shining black hair.


The article accompanying this pictured turned out to be very
interesting.

The article analyzes why Uighurs hate the Han Chinese so much. It
rejects an explanation having to do with religion.

Instead, the core reason why Uighurs hate Han Chinese is because
Uighurs marry Han Chinese males:
> "In Chinese cities, one often sees some well-educated

So, carrying this logic to the next step, the CCP is doing male
Uighurs a big favor by arresting them, torturing them, re-educating
them and enslaving them, because that will make them more attractive
to Uighur girls. Voilà.

My "troubles" are entirely self inflicted, as I had the most boring "typical" lower-ish middle class life growing up and into my mid-late-40's. (There was no addiction involved, other than an "addiction" to being a scared rabbit for FAR too long.)

I was actually looking for more excitement, so being more careful what I asked for would have been a good idea in my case.

So, no,.. don't feel sorry for moi!

Torture, etc, doesn't improve one's bank account, which is what the girls are actually after.

My Horse-People male ancestors conquered my farmer-hunter-gatherer female ancestors and we ended up with people like me.

Local females are a prize, not to mention a handy replacement for lugging around your female cousins when you're out conquering and expanding.

The Chinese, as usual, have figured out a way to do this backwards, by enticing the prize to come to them.

..of course there ARE those rapist-"replacement husbands" that the CCP sends into the homes of "camp-widows", so the traditional genetic conquest routine still has its place.

Well, at least you're getting the opportunity to live through
"interesting times."

You're raising an interesting point that I had forgotten about.

The Chinese "security police" are sent to the homes of Uighurs
in Xinjiang, where they live there for extended periods of time,
to determine their behavior and attitude, so that the CCP monsters
can decide whether to throw them into jail.

I'd forgotten about this and the fact that it gives the "security
police" plenty of opportunity to rape anyone they want. And of
course any girl who complains would be treated even more harshly
than if one of Bill Clinton's rape victims complained.

You know, I often laugh myself silly thinking about how good I was at positioning that shotgun up and into my ass before having it make that really loud noise.

Arghhhhh....

John, I was an economics major but that was in 1968 so perhaps I am an economics liability rather than a reliable source of information. However we learned that GDP = Money supply X velocity of money. (No doubt the 2020 version is more sophisticated) So I suspect that the decline in velocity is at least partly due to the monetary authorities pumping more and more money into the system.

Wow, excellent job John!

Looking at Singapore is a great idea.

You have talent and skill from looking through the lens of GD to provide a unique analysis.

Covid-19 and the Fourth Turning:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NhJrca9Qts
The public's trust in the authorities running our system is suffering as a result of officials' ham-fisted tactics.

Good information is increasingly hard to come by as world governments suppress any and all non-official sources. And much of the official 'data' being released appears untrustworthy. In many cases, it seems too benign for the massive and draconian efforts governments are taking around the world.

The media, too, appears complicit. It's neither asking the tough questions or providing the useful information the public is hungry for right now.

Ditto for the financial markets, which are doing their damndest to act as if the growing covid-19 pandemic is a non-event.

Such breaking of trust is what researcher Neil Howe warned of in his excellent work 'The Fourth Turning', predicting a period of profound loss of faith in public institutions.While there are many contributing factors -- massive world debt, huge wealth disparity, planetary resource depletion -- the social angst being stirred up by the coronavirus is a classic symptom of a Fourth Turning.
Expect an even bumpier road ahead...

That's an interesting analysis. You're right about the formula,
though there's an extra factor: "Inflation rate X GDP = Money supply X
velocity". It's the fall in velocity that explains why inflation has
remained low.

With regard to the size of the money supply, we don't live in 1800s,
when the only kind of money was printed money, or even in the 1600s,
when the only kind of money was gold coins and tulip certificates.

In 2008, the Bank of International Settlements said that there are
over $1 quadrillion ($1,000 trillion) worth of credit derivatives and
other structured finance securities in the portfolios of financial
institutions around the world.

Money created through debt is just as real as the money "printed" by
the US government. If your $50K home increases in value during a real
estate bubble to $500K, and you refinance your home and borrow $400K
against your home, then you can spend that money on cars, groceries,
sex, or whatever you want. It's the same money.

So the size of the money supply has actually been falling
substantially since 2008, and central banks "printing" money has not
really added to the money supply at all, but instead has replaced the
money in the money supply that disappeared as the bubble collapsed.

The only real point I was making was that a major crisis can change
generational behavior permanently, whether it's a financial crisis or
a coronavirus crisis.
