By mandating vaxx, a fck ton of employers are going to lose employees - this is going to juice the jobless claims numbers and justify prolonged quantitative easing / 0% interest rates.


Over the short run, this will keep the floor on stocks and risk assets.




However, just fcking LOL when all of this finally collapses and exposes the American economy for the sham that it now is.



Stay safe boyos.

Doubtful. I mean don't get me wrong phuck that old ****gotand I hope he [extremist rhetoric redacted by NSA] but remember when people were saying the same thing about Obama's mandate for healthcare? How it would inevitably cause a bunch of employers to cut hours for their chitty low-effort full-time employees so that they wouldn't be eligible for company health insurance and it would lead to a massive amount of under-employed deadbeats who would inflate jobless numbers and burden the government healthcare juggernaut?

And what did they do? They just kept granting exemption after exemption after exemption for his entire presidency until something like 70% of Americans had figured out how to go online and complete a 10-minute long form and get on whatever the phuck Obamacare subsidiary.

Maybe they won't do the same thing here, but I kind of suspect they will. No way they are going to tank the job market on purpose for a second time in a single calendar year, and if indeed they are planning on doing that, then I think we can all appreciate that it's just time to [extremist rhetoric redacted by NSA].

They have every incentive to tank the job market as long as their delta/other variants excuse holds up as it allows them to keep dividing and conquering while continuing to push the "pandemic of the unvaxxed" narrative.

It's a fcked up game they're playing, and it's working on the stupid.

It’s also going to drive up crime, homelessness, paranoia, chaos. I predict civil unrest beyond last year’s BLM riots in the coming weeks. This time the media won’t be praising them, they’ll be persecuting anyone involved.

So in your understanding, statist authoritarians are orchestrating the economic shocks that the American system is suffering rather than simply capitalizing on naturally occurring phenomena to expand their control over the individual?

Both.

Fair enough, I can agree with that to a large extent.

Remember Jerome Powell needs all the help he can get….if we have a ‘strong’ labor market, that erodes his argument for continuing low rates/QE/unemployment benefits as inflation is currently also skyrocketing.


If we get a sudden/unexpected shock to the upside that forces Powell’s hand, the market will crack since it will price in a faster than anticipated taper (taper tantrum).

The only reason sht hasn’t collapsed yet is the market is calling everyone’s bluff on the tapering….basically QE infinity….but every sane/rational investor knows it can’t go on forever and there will only be one exit door for a stampede of chumps that waited until the very end.


Everyone says that, historically, the markets have always recovered….but every brokerage also has the statement “past returns are not a guarantee of future returns” for the reason that the past is NEVER like the future and for all we know, the U.S could already be on the path to hyperinflation/dollar destruction.

China already knows this and has been positioning itself for years to capitalize on the date that occurs.
