I don’t understand what’s going on anymore.

I did at one time, or I thought I did. But I was wrong. Every single one of my assumptions have been wrong.

Debt to crush us? Of course! Wrong.
Low interest rates to create unmanageable bubbles? Of course! Wrong.
Inflation caused by excessive debt and spending? Of course! Wrong.
Gold to the moon? Of course! Wrong.

Now I’m finally old enough to know that I don’t know much, at all.

What good is it to know that debt is crushing, never to be paid back. That politics are insane. That the world is turned upside down on its head. That the wise little people don’t matter. That narcissists and egomaniacs have a say-so that’s much more significant than the fair and the good. That academics is no longer about learning or scholarship or creativity. That promises made are promises unkept. That constant wars are stupid.

Might as well adopt a dyonisian approach, live for pleasure and love, not for accomplishment or striving.

What a waste of a world we’ve created.

Enjoy!

We are headed towards stagflation in USA. Growth is noticeably slowing here in Atlanta yet there are price increases all around. USA had 1.2 trillion 2018 fiscal deficit. This is in a booming year? Price creep makes Powell want to rise rates. Slowing growth and rising deficit makes doing so result in max damage. IMO Reaching for yield on the long end will result in a beating
