History seems to be closely repeating itself almost 100 years later.

The US coming out of a foreign war.

A wave of cultural and moral standards are in constant skew. So Congress legislatures laws to change moral foundations and adjust basic rights seeking votes and seeing $$$$$$

Staple prices jump to match the new higher wages being paid..

The world faces a pandemic and the US is hard hit.

The financial market (FTX and Fanny-Mae Freddy-Mac and etc.) is grossly mismanaged.

The Stock market goes from a BULL Market, to a BEAR Market in a few days. As stock owners dump and run. Because the F-1000 is showing signs of having ROI / P&L issues.

Inflation takes hold

Bank accounts are drained and debt is amassed.

A foreign National Socialist country (China) gains more and more power. It then seeks new territories to expand and grow. The US & World allows the national socialist country to grab surrounding land masses (Taiwan). Because the population there share many similarities.

WW-III starts with a few "incidents" here and there.

But this time, US no longer has the Industrial nor physically able population to properly gear up and fight.

It will be a short-lived Electronic and/or Nuke war.

#4 Tesla is cutting 10 percent of salaried workers.

Salaried - exempt
Laborers - non-exempt

Seems management is taking the hit not the production line.

#5 Bill Bonner may be right but probably won't be.

Job openings are still pretty strong. BLS data show about 10 Million nationally as of the end of October 2022.

This is way above the average for the past few decades.

#10 The life of a middle manager is to be underworked and overpaid

At Mr. Wife’s international Fortune 100 company they started downsizing management in the 1980s, then got increasingly serious. About fifteen years ago he was managing the responsibilities that had previously been done by three at his level, with no increase in pay. Then a decade ago he was moved to another division; as far as I know, his responsibilities were divided among those of his peers who remained.
