The Economic Collapse

[tp4tissue]

Don't think peeps apppreciate how HARD  the rare earth problem is.

Basically, gina spent 50 years building up the processing. There are Hundreds of nobel laureats equivalent level of scientific breakthroughs EMBEDDED in the super-structure of their mining/refining.


This would take the western world more than 50 years to replicate, if even possible given energy constraints as we move forward.

For example, let's say you want to build your own car, ok, do it,  but you spent your whole life building it, and now you're old, and you'll never get to drive it.    And because you've spent your whole life doing it,  it's IMPOSSIBLE to make it profitable.


Remember,  we're more/less beyond peak oil....   Now that energy is Contracting, productivity HAS TO chase the least cost.

We'll never catch up producing the most expensive product no one can buy.   


In principle, if you devalue the $dollar enough,  assssuming people don't  Ooigy's mansion the entire gabamnt, wellll..  MAYBE...


But it's unlikely,   England mainly raise chavs who won't work a proper job.  They fear that if they raise the education the chavs would come for the aristocracy,    All long run civs end up in more/less the same place.


The difference in Gina's system is their Mandarin class,  which we don't quite have.   In the long run,  they'll face the same problem we face, because the problem is a matter of scale,   they'll be able to push it for longer being the only  difference to our western system.


But in any case,  rare earth is insurmountable under the current flavor of capitalism.

The military should not be profitable,  profit can not be the aim of military industrial.

This is exemplified in our ship building differential with our supposed "adversary"

total ship building tonnage,

US,        100,000    Metric Tons / year

Jina,   23,250,000   Metric Tons / year    ( 232x US rate)


This order of magnitude output differential extends to stand off munition such as long range cruise and ballistic missile motors/radar/guidance/satellite network.

Money is functionally a mind control mechanism, but unchecked it's a collective DELUSION.

A grain silo is a grain silo, a bank is a bank, you can not do anything in the real world with a bank.

A mine is a mine, a steel mill is a steel mill, money is supposed to make that happen.

But it stops happening, when someone believes Being Rich, is the same as Being Strong.

So when you put wealth, and "Rich" at the center of ideology, what you have is a slide into irrelevance.


The core issue today, is the fact that the very Nature of CONFLICT has changed,   Everyone's in the same pool of gasoline threatening to immolate each other.


So,  whatever disagreement exists,  they have to be settled in some other manner.


The CONCEPT of Empire is obsolete.   Every system which attempts to hold it all together using the threat of violence, will inevitably collapse inwards. That is because such systems are internally parasitic, it consumes and wastes the entire lifespans of its own citizens.

I'm boop beep to the point my bips aint got no more blips to go on, honestly

Every system which attempts to hold it all together using the threat of violence

I am truly puzzled by Drumpf's announcement that he will suspend attacks on Iran until after the upcoming election.

Naturally his behavior in his inevitable lame duck era is an unknown, but the only reason he would announce a few weeks of unilateral cease-fire now would be to prepare for a colossal attack afterwards. Right?
So is he implying that this future attack will be vastly larger if the Democratic Party wins? So that he can get in a few more yucks while he still has Congressional support?
To make his flunkies and minions even more despised than they already are, going forward?
Or to set up a potential reward for the world if Republicans prevail - and GTFO of the Middle East?

Ok, so the enlistement situation.

Is soooo bad,  we've gone full mcnamara.  As you know they thought during ww2, they could sign up mental-category 4s. (Border line retardation) Make them watch video tapes, and send them to war.

In the war, the platoon leaders had to shoot these ForestForestGumps themselves, because they were so incompetent, they endangered everyone else. The movie made a hero out of Gump, in reality, they were detrimental.

Right now, this is the only expansion of the current enlistment numbers,  they took the cat 4,  sent them through a cheat on your test camp,  and brought them up to cat 3.

These are also the people that sign up for "i( e",   

Cat 4s, are medically confirmed morons.   The new rule put in place means, 1 in 10 enlisted is a cat 4.

That's been the ONLY uptick.    Otherwise, no one is signing up .


THis is why we DESPERATELY need ur000p to die for 'Murika.

We simply do not have the force capacity.


ur000p needs to understand,  if you don't defend the $Murikn Dollar,  your entire economy becomse $0.

US has been playing soldiers around the world for the last decade  WITHOUT raising much taxes from its own citizens.

WHERE DID ALL that money come from,  BONDS,  BONDS sold to ur00p, jpn, korea, everyone.


So, ur00000p now holds all of 'Murik'as bags.    NOW,   if the dollar collapses,  then whatever money you THINK you have, would instantly evaporate.

1%  increase in bond yields  means,  9%  LOSS in existing 10year bond Value.

Long run 30 year holders like ur000000p,  have already lost over 50% of value.


DO YOU UNDERSTAND now ur000p?  Send your sons or face economic doom,  your choice !!

[tp4tissue]

People falling for the mumdami BS, just like they fell for obamr.

Illiteracy unfortunately is endemic.   Sigh....

[tp4tissue]

Prettttty much every veggie now is $3-4 a lb.

So, you make a pot of stew, is like, $10-12.

[tp4tissue]

Leave ur000p if you can, as soon as possible.

Latest intel, the most credible recovery timeline for the destroyed saud oil infrastructure is now at 7-10 years.


The logistical hurdle is a nightmare, these are highly specialized parts, pumps, pipes, pressure vessels, bits and boobs.

The MANPOWER issue is also a catastrophe,  if YOU were an engineer, would YOU go to Araabia, and risk gettn' hit by a hooty missle? No ?  How bout,  UAE or koowitt,    Is you name LAWRENCE?


Point is,  it's a highly complicated machine, requiring highly complicated parts, requiring VERY Specilized, Highly Trained moonkeys who could literally get hired ANYWHERE ELSE in the wurld.

So,  WHen is it Ur0000p's turn  to Re-industrilize, fed at the teets of mid eaz energy?

If all these "Talents, " and Machinery are sold, under Capitalism, to the highest bidder.


the ur00pn govnments are mere vassals to the USA,   if anyone's going to snatch up all the capacity,  the LAST Person getting any is Ur000p, no?


What we've seen of late, is that the vast majority of (Average) vvkrini women who have "refugeed" to ur00p are being prostituted and ladened with drug addiction.


That is to say,  there is a gap where your economic/education/social class,  creates a hard barrier for movement.


If you can find a decent job anywhere outside of ur00p,  go there.

If you can get to Norway, go norway, it's the only uroop country with legit OIL infrastructure. They won't thrive, but they'll survive.


If you can go US, go US.

Canada is a good choice, if you can stand the slow pace, and the nothing happens.


The key thing to remember is, there will be NO GROWTH in the entirety of the "West" as we know it, it's going to be a significant slide DOWN for at least 20 years due to the MASSIVE energy-Contraction,   so in many cases, even being educated won't help you.


If you're not of the higher socio-economic class, well, hussle and survive, the equation for you has not changed, but the Difficulty will be NewGame++ , LetYouSoloHer.


Survival shouldn't be a problem in the US / Canada,  South america might be ok if you can get a university position.



If you are an adept language learner,  you may consider Rvss, or Jina,  these will be the only Growth-Potential systems going forward.

You're guranteed positions as foreign language teachers in Jina, at the very least, but spots are filling up fast.

Rvss, well, you'd have to know somebody to do it up there.
