Hello Haim, I wonder how the various Teams would respond should some heretofore unknown virus make appearance, again, say in a few years time, Or
- should CoVID19 do an encore, now that it is loose and about in November, 2020, Or
- should CoVID19 simply decide to loiter and hangout.
As often noted, fear is a survival trait and panic is rational, but panic is best when done early.
In the meantime I am definitely not wasting time as would politicians to affix blame anywhere except to take note that along with everything else, politics and geopolitics these times dictate the ‘weaponisation’ of just about everything.
IOW, it is of less interest what is being weaponised, but more riveting as macro backdrop, that everything is being weaponised.
I do not see any lines demarcating boundaries of the trade, tech, currency, info, and pandemic hype war(s). From where I sit all the wars are the same war. As wars go, the war has already cost plenty, certainly had enough turns, and no hint of ending.
Putting the geopolitics aside for a moment, I cannot help but ponder, that maybe,
- Virus bad (especially as more die because of it)
- Lockdown worse (especially as time line drags out)
- Money dilutions ramp, deficits blow out, debt balloons (especially as they all contribute to the next crisis)
And all contributes to the weakening of planetary schema, so that there is that much less wherewithal to weather the next storm of any sort.
If above is a correct way to look at what the above is describing, then am guessing that the admittedly useless gold has a role in our baggage for the journey.
But yes, besides gold there be palladium, and if palladium, then also platinum, None different than any other naturally occurring element, except having a slightly more transparent even if opaque but necessary market. |
