There can be few fields of human endeavor in which history counts for so little as in the world of finance. Past experience, to the extent that it is part of memory at all, is dismissed as the primitive refuge of those who do not have the insight to appreciate the incredible wonders of the present. -
Ukraine on Fire documentary by Oliver Stone worth a watch on YouTube - well one can be critical of his lack of coverage on negative Russian actions, it certainly shows how menacing the US has been over the last decades. Point being - this is a far more complex situation than MSM want us to believe. And I worry the US is following the same ‘poke the bear’ strategy with China. It’s all fun and games until their own children get hurt.
It's incredible that so many so called "leaders" can be so nonchalant to the suffering they induced. I have visions of guillotines and pitchforks... then I give my self a rub on the vax spot to activate the spike proteins to bring me back to my senses.
As the world runs on semiconductors, disrupting its industry monopoly would surely affect production and consumption, right?
When did I feel like it will happen… Ah, yes - in March - when Ukrainian Mariupol got destroyed to (re)built a resort-city from scratch and stop harming the environment, of course.
“ Some 45% to 54% of the world's semiconductor-grade neon, critical for the lasers used to make chips, comes from two Ukrainian companies, Ingas and Cryoin, according to Reuters calculations based on figures from the companies and market research firm Techcet.
If stockpiles are depleted by April and chipmakers don't have orders locked up in other regions of the world, it likely means further constraints for the broader supply chain and inability to manufacture the end-product for many key customers.
The Economy Ministry of Taiwan,home to the world's largest contract chip maker TSMC, said that Taiwanese firms had already made advanced preparations and had "safety stocks" of neon, so it did not see any supply chain problems in the near term.“ (aging well)
How will I keep buying mansions w/ my filthy fiat converted to NSA’s currency in metaverse? I was thinking I’m hedging, damn it! Not even “being happy” while “having nothing”, eh… At least we could play “what the bug?” and “whose DNA?” eating CRISPR’ed soylent green, thirsting on circled sewage water - but how to avoid monkeypox from manholes?

It is stunning that the economics profession survived 2008; then I remind myself that journalism is nonexistent in MSM, especially the business press.
As Jamie Dimon once quipped, "When it comes to egregious sociopathic criminal financial fraud, go big or go home."
The Daly line is a modern day “let them eat cake”
Yogi, as applied to the Fed:"In theory there's no difference between practice and theory. In practice, there is."
The homes supply is eye opening. Then again, the median home sale price in 20Q2 was $322k. In 22Q2 it hit $440k.
Beyond messed up. Homes are ideally for living in. Instead, road to serfdom now...

Rudy, I've found shadowstats.com to be a good source of inflation data. We're heading into the 20% range by their reckoning.
They're also good for unemployment, money supply, etc.

"The entire “fact-checking” industry is a psy-op."
Hardly fair when some are shills for toxic profiteers in addition to doing Washington propaganda!
FYI: Boozed Pelosi went to Taiwan to save the planet, actually.
