  i think the money printing will end as past episodes had always ended, full of genuine sorrow, complete with sincere regret, chokeful of tears, probably much blood, war, famine, insurrection, revolution, looting, burning, voting, defaulting, until all is gone and nothing is left on the table, etc etc
  some folks think an empire can easily retrench back to its agricultural past, with mortgage bankers tilling fields, and
  other would believe one cannot have a food crisis in the land spanned by farms, forgetting the lessons of zimbabwe, and, earlier, teachings of france
  in any case, we watch n brief, to see if tracking of script based on what i take to be the correct premise remains true.
  imo, it is all about money, whether it is taken as money or just the pieces of paper they currently are. when confidence in the money fails, all premised on that lost faith go to dust, and the supermarket shelves go blank, parking lots go empty, gasoline stations go quiet, and highways become good places to catch a tan>>
