history teaches us to forget about succeeding at fiscal discipline in face of economic stress until the break point is broken through and tipping point has tipped over.

the fiscal discipline shall be, certainly, but not until onset and play-out of true and defining crisis (for calibration, 4th quarter 2008 does not even qualify as a stress test, never mind the pre tremor, and certainly not the main event)

my time line remains as before, 2018 - 2026 / 2021 - 2041 Message 27199056

iow, lots of time to earn excess savings and mineralize surplus capital

my premise is that we are in a long game, the game that is in the for-keeps stage (defined as "if we screw up, very extremely difficult to recover), for we are fortunate to be able to witness history up close, amid dying anguish of imperial empires and birthing cries of new world order

while all very exciting, but we must in the mean nasty time invest well and teach our young true, all before we finally hand over the keys

ready or not, play on 3, 2,
