The stock market will only go up because letting it go down would bankrupt the United States.

The US dollar is being debased and the elite are fleeing into hard assets.

The US is borrowing money to pay back money it already borrowed. It still has to fund the Ponzi schemes of Social Security and Medicare, while paying interest on gross federal debt already around 120% of GDP.

The retirement of boomers is tied to the stock market. This was done by design. Every month, automatic retirement contributions pump their savings into stocks, inflating valuations.

You saw it in 2008. When the system breaks, the government steps in and makes the public pay for the damage caused by its own monetary policy. If housing or stocks collapse, boomers lose the retirement system they were promised. As the largest voting bloc, they will vote to protect it, and workers will get the bill.

So the asset-propping will continue indefinitely, because the alternative is their own ruin.

Buy calls, or whatever.

The elite know what is happening. They are converting increasingly worthless dollars into tangible goods: infrastructure, housing, energy, data centers, and control over the systems people actually need.

Our money faces a legitimacy crisis, just like labor is facing one. You see the hiring signs. You see the real costs of housing and tangible goods. You see the closure of Hormuz choking the US out of cheap petrol goods. You know CPI is adjusted, massaged, and bureaucratized until it barely resembles lived reality. The US is not here to tell the truth. It is here to prop up asset prices for as long as it can, and to print more money once that stops working.

The future isn’t in the stock market. It’s in your own communities once this shit splinters.
