Where are all the Doomer threads?

In a nutshell:

1. Russia might use tactical nukes;
2. Housing market is collapsing;
3. Currencies are collapsing;
4. "Quiet quitting" is a "norm";
5. Something changed in 2007;
6. "Opting out" is the only solution;


Did I miss anything? Trying to keep up to date, to ensure I can wield my cash flow in a predatory way against the masses that don't seem to believe in this great country.

Panic sellers and doom-cels make me rock hard. 100% ded srs.

cause they either a) dont want to admit they voted for it, or b) dont want to admit that they wish there was a lot of fraud in the last election so they can think America is still a high IQ nation, they just got robbed of a good life

Kind of a waiting game at this point. NPCs will continue to NPC until it's too late. While those of us who have seen this coming for the last 2+ years just be like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, this 'quiet quitting' is pervasive, even in high tier positions at T1 employers.

Yeah this is definitely an issue - but you saw as well as I did just how *upset* some folks get at the thought that having a principled position (common among Conservatives) which they disagree with could...be right? The right thing to do? Who will bring peace to the Korean peninsula? Kamala? LOL. It was Trump - probably the only real chance. Now look where we are - great visit to the DMZ, Kamala. *clap, clap, clap*.

I'm still feeling good.


-The labor market cracked on Monday. We just had 2nd biggest monthly jobs-opening decrease on record. Currently there are hiring freezes across the board, even in high-margin, wide-moat Big Tech.

-The bond market cracked and is showing signs of severe distress. Treasury spreads are deeply negative (guaranteed recession indicator if they go negative at all), and are pricing in a worse crash than 2000. The UK had to intervene in their bond market last week to prevent a pension fund collapse. Right now the UN is begging USA to stop hiking so globalpoors don't default.

-The stock market is down 30% from ATHs, and still has room to fall. I believe 7 of last 10 days have been red. P/Es are still way too high, but stock prices will fall when the Es come in chitty at the end of this month.

-Real estate transactions are at the lowest volume in 20 years. Just a matter of time before prices catch up to low demand there


And the guys engineering all of this have shown no sign of stopping. They intend to continue financial tightening through next year, and will only stop if we hit '08 mode first. While they keep restricting the money supply, the cracks above will only widen.

That's part of my point in the OP: the folks that are ready for these eventualities can wield their economic power in a predatory and powerful way.

Some folks run for the hills at times like these; it's easy to pick them apart.

So much truth in this, especially the red scare, cold war Russia propaganda that's been recycled for 80 years.

Keep us fearful and concentrating on things outside of our control.

Even spiritually it's problematic because we lose track of who we are and focus purely on our mortality.

There's a name for that, something turning. Every 80 years there is a major war with a power change. ATM its between China and USA...... Both seem to be failing but, as they say "appear strong when you are weak, appear weak when you're strong" which is why i've always question if China is doing as poor as people say. They do sure ****ing love to live by these kinda ideology's so it wouldn't surprise me that they play this in there long game.

EDIT: Its called Thucydides Trap actually, not turning.

It is partly done by 'shills', precisely for the reason I outline in my OP. Like the folks that run to forums mentioning crypto currency as a "must buy" on X date, etc. Imagine listening to these folks, lol.

This reminds me of a paper I read from some Nazi scientist at the RAND corporation during the Cold War. It was a contrarian piece on how we might not be as fukked as we think if nukes start flying, but one of the great points he made is that the countryside is not dependent on cities for survival.
Economic recuperation also looks more feasible than is generally supposed. Most people -laymen and some experts - looking at the highly integrated character of a modern economy, argue that a nation is like a body: destroy the heart or other vital organs, and even though a few cells may linger briefly, the body dies.

This view is questionable.Suppose the United States or the Soviet Union were to be divided into two countries - an A country with the largest 50 to 100 cities, and a B country, the remainder. The A country cannot survive without the B country, but the B country, so far as we can see, can survive without the A country. Moreover, we estimate that B has the resources and skills needed to rebuild A in say, ten years.

In other words, a country should not be considered analogous to a body with vital irreplaceable organs, but rather should be considered as two semi-independent pieces that trade with each other.

Nice quote.

Producers don't need consumers as much as consumers need producers.

See: Russia apparently still functional despite western sanctions

There is definitely a trade off though. It isn't like the cities don't have a lot of amenities that rural areas just do not have.

I'm thinking of making an exploratory drive soon-ish. Parts of the country generally labeled Appalachia- good rainfall, pretty scenery...rivers and lakes, hills and valleys, lots of trees. Also hot, but not the hottest [higher elevations] and cold, but not MI/WI/MN cold. Very few large cities.

To be clear (and this is why I get miffed if people use 'sanctions' this way), even the EU's 8th package of sanctions against Russia is nothing compared to the true extent of sanctions - e.g., the EU's and US' against Iran, pre-JCPOA. Sanctions can completely collapse an economy. Yes, there's a price to pay, but the point here isn't "Russia is functional despite western sanctions" - it is functional precisely because (it is more than the 'West') sanctions adopted against Russia only go so far.

They can go a lot farther, if the countries adopting them wish to pay the price for doing so. But it is their decision - the tail that wags the dog must be abundantly clear by now.
