Anybody else feel like an economic calamity is on the way in about 6-12 months?

>47% of the median American family's income now goes to owning the median priced home in this country. That's the share the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta says it takes at today's prices, at today's mortgage rate of 6.47% and it's the worst reading on record going back to 2006.

I'm not sure how this is going to play out because we don't have the egregious credit swaps of the 2007 crisis or the over leverage credit of that time but the valuations are way out of line and this isn't sustainable simply because people can't afford it.

An economic collapse this year is a foregone conclusion.
Due to the outbreak of war in Iran, fertilizer prices have skyrocketed. Europe, the United States, and India have missed the spring planting season. A decline in grain production is inevitable. During the fall and winter, international grain prices will rise by at least 30%.
Meanwhile, months of rising oil prices have already left many small countries facing fiscal collapse.
The AI bubble is about to burst. U.S. tech companies have discovered that AI computing is a money-losing proposition.
Trump is an idiot; he intends to continue the war.
This collapse will be “Great Depression 2.0” and will destroy the entire U.S. stock market and Treasury bond market.
You need to convert your U.S. dollars, stocks, and Treasury bonds into tangible assets.
Gold, food, solar panels, and even firearms.
These items will help you weather this economic disaster.

The problem is basically that there's way too much synthetic value in circulation. It just isn't concentrated in one asset class like in the subprime mortgage crisis - instead, we are looking at a broad-based and extreme mispricing across the entire economy, from private equity portfolios to major stock market indexes. Those indexes are overdue for a correction anyway, but the massively overhyped AI narrative is likely to drag blue chips significantly below their fundamental fair value. ASI/AGI is not coming; the whole story is essentially a speculative scam. btw these datacenters are not being built for some happy Star Trek future, but to enable more effective control over an increasingly restless and angry population.
On top of that, we have no visibility on how this Iran escalation will resolve, the petrodollar regime is visibly eroding in real time, and Americans are behaving like the dog in the burning-room meme, pretending that “this is fine.” Once the U.S. equity market reprices sharply, it will transmit shockwaves through a wide range of asset classes and real economies globally.
My assumption is that this is at least being tolerated, if not actively engineered, to create the pretext for harsher and more centralized regulatory frameworks on a global scale.

Private security firms are the kind of thing to consider starting investing in. As long as rich boomers still have too much money even in a collapsing economy with rising prices, some of that will trickle down. There will be a struggle between private security firms and organized crime / vigilante gangs to offer that "security" to the ever-shrinking group of remaining "haves"

This will lead to across-the-board price increases for meat, eggs, and dairy products.
Without corn, you can’t feed pigs, chickens, or ducks; without fodder, you can’t feed cattle or sheep.
This alone will cause meat prices to skyrocket.
Soon, you won’t even be able to afford eggs.
>>
>>538571254
Yes, we use corn to feed cows and beef mainly. shit is starting again in Ormuz, fertilizer will become scarce, I think diesel will hit 3 euros in September or October, it was under 2 euros for only a couple of weeks

It’s unlikely to have much of an impact, since China is also one of the world’s leading fertilizer producers.
Moreover, our neighbor Russia has more grain than it can consume.
When international grain prices rise, all we need to do is release our stockpiles.
Moreover, the Chinese government does not import grain for human consumption; it is mainly used to feed pigs.
Even in the most extreme scenario, the only consequence would be that ordinary people would simply eat less meat.
The greater risk actually lies in the AI bubble in the U.S. stock market, which this time has triggered a financial tsunami.
Our banks have already pulled out, converting a large volume of financial transactions into cash.
Because they know this stock market crash will destroy everything.

If the financial collapse happens that means the police, military, and intelligence forces Jews depend on to protect them from the plebs will also not be sustainable. Thats probably why they are shifting to electronic surveillance.

That's just to keep the price of pig feed down.

Because China imports soiabean and meat. China is more than 100% self-sufficient in grain, they even export it to Africa.

Bro, you don't get it.
China imports grain not because it has to, but simply because it makes more economic sense.
Even if not a single grain of food were to enter China, there would be no famine here. That’s because we have no shortage of food for human consumption.
In the worst-case scenario, pork prices would just go up.
Even if we really needed to import grain, we could still buy it from Russia, Brazil, and the United States.
Grain prices would go up, but that wouldn’t matter to ordinary Chinese people.
The ones who would really suffer would be the countries in the Middle East and Africa.
They would immediately face famine because they couldn’t afford to buy grain.
Without grain, war would follow.

The trouble is it’s now an everything bubble. Everyone knows stocks are overvalued but where else is there to go? It’s not like 2008 when people jumped into oil and usd lmao. Those are both manipulated and obliterated also. This is an everything bubble that can’t burst without bringing the whole system down at this point. So it’s going to keep on going and keep on getting inflated.

Exactly. Crypto is rigged to crash after it captures exit liquidity. They are suppressing the price of precious metals harder than ever. Real Estate is over valued and everyone is priced out. Any paper security instrument is in danger of being seized in a bail in situation. There is nowhere to go.

Our government is stockpiling large amounts of physical gold because it plans to return to the gold standard.
Deliberately keeping precious metal prices low is practically like a discount sale for our banks.

>I've never seen so much fucking corn in my entire life.
The United States is a major grain producer; if it wants to control grain prices, all it needs to do is stop exporting grain.
However, for the Middle East and Africa, this would essentially cause a famine.
Because they cannot afford to buy food.

I actually hate canned food because it’s just not fresh.
But when fresh food is outrageously expensive, canned food seems to be the only option.
Canned food is the only way to preserve food for a long time without using electricity; otherwise, you’d have no choice but to eat salted pork.

The great fall is inevitable, it began long ago. If AI fails, it will destroy the global economy. If AI succeeds, it will destroy the global economy with mass unemployment and energy scarcity. Wealth concentrates endlessly in the hands of elder tyrants that bring nothing but rent seeking to the world. The working class has been told to accept replacement by immigrant labor and AI, and they are expected to give the world to employers that refuse to pay enough for one to live in a studio apartment.
The status quo is unsustainable, and the hubris of the elites has them believing they are invincible gods. Society has been unmasked as a malicious entity operating under the guise of a social contract that has been obliterated by the greed of the elites. Mankind has been divided, but it shares a collective rage that points to the top, regardless of political affiliation. The world has reached a breaking point and it is overdue for failure.

The great fall will bring deviation and despair to the entire world. But fear not dear friends, for the tragedy of the great fall will bring us the opportunity to punish the architects of our misery and rebuild a world that works for the people.

That’s not the case; it’s simply because we raise too many pigs.
And pigs need grain to gain weight.
But it’s unacceptable for pigs to compete with people for grain.
In 2025, China slaughtered 700 million pigs to feed its 1.4 billion people.
Pigs consumed the vast majority of imported grain.

you will continue to go to work for shitty pay. you will continue to pay rent or a mortgage. you will continue to go into more debt to fund your car or education. you will continue to work for the wealthy who will tell you it's "evil" to take money from them and that you need to "earn" it like they did. (through scamming and stealing it from others)

you will be a good little capitalist slave.
