Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
Navigator, what do you believe are the chances this war will cause America to collapse, rather than (or perhaps in addition to) China?
It's pretty easy to see that any imagined and presumed danger from Iran is much less than starting and getting involved with a religious war in such a volatile ...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel
Knowing when to plant and what you should be growing to have enough food definitely comes with experience. I don't grow tomatoes anymore because they became a fun project that didn't yield their efforts' worth. Roots and greens. Stuff that you can dry and can/pickle. Sure tomatoes work but if you ...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
Actually invading Greenland would activate NATO against the US, which would be a disaster of monumental proportions. NATO is still extremely important, especially in the face of Russian aggression. I think we should tone down the anti-NATO rhetoric a notch or two. Trump has been successful in ...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
I have always disagreed with John's take on Russia, and after Putin's invasion of Ukraine I believe that John changed his mind.
I think John didn't change his schedule of allies vs axis. He did have a vitriolic hatred of Putin it seemed. He didn't change his prognosis because individual actors ...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel
If the above is predictive in any way, though, it will be true that we have a good 10 years to run before food prices and food shortages become a really major issue. Silver and real estate in that town bumped along at pretty low prices for a decade before finally making their major move. This year ...

Re: Tucker Carlson: Trump has become an imperialist because he believes a major war is coming
Link to the monologue below. Keep in mind that it is over 40 minutes long.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
I'd like to think that in a Crisis people learn that a particular flavor of conflict is considered ugly and the cultures involved squish that form of conflict. Optimistic,

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel
I am very interested to know what other people’s thoughts are regarding where we are on the hyperinflation curve, and whether you believe that we have a couple cycles of ups and downs left to buy and sell… or if you are convinced that we are beyond the point of no return, and that this gold run ...
