Interesting times, the powers are trying to revive the economy by giving J6P CTMR procedure, simply explained, basically J6P:
-loses his job
-loses his asset value, stocks, bonds, etc
-loses house
-pays more prices for necessities via attempts to save him that has caused prices to go up

What is CTMR procedure you ask?
it is basically C*^k To Mouth Resuscitation
How can it work on a dying patient you ask? I don't know how it can, but they think it will work, gives a new meaning for the task they have taken on themselves "so many mouths to feed so little ..." :-)

Its interesting that TBT and gold have started showing that the dilution and intervention on a huge scale is a given in the future; its a matter of time when the prices will start showing in the necessities. I think the job loss is going to crater this economy in a spectacular way and equities are headed for a crash first

With all the trillions of dollars spent in the black hole I am not sure if they can lay out to the people how economy will look if and when we come out of this, if they believe that, why would they not lay it out. I bet their plan/hope is that we will come out of this again with a synchronous asset price rise like we did the last time where everything goes up: stocks, bonds, oil, gold, houses etc. I don't think it will happen that way (if it worked they would like to do it by synch asset inflation), either we get a scenario forced upon us (that is different than a synchronous asset inflation) or we get a economic reset as you have long alluded to. Decoupling of stocks, bonds, gold, oil will be indicative of normal market conditions that do not have external meddling, none of the current intervention is pointing to that path unfortunately

I get uncomfortable when we agree - I suspect I am wrong in those instances.
