” …. if there is a forward…”
All of the inventories that we see pilled up at every dealers, does not belong to the business owners. Its on contingency, or loan collateral..
yep, the lenders, the money printers, think that they will be okay because they have a claim on real assets.
Its no different than holding gold. You can’t eat it. And you got to find a buyer at the price that you want and say no to those who want it but don’t have the money that you want in exchange for that asset.
It will take a very special salesman that can sell a freezer, to an esquimaux, in the middle of winter.“I would like this post to get a lot of comments; that would mean people understand the gravity of what’s going on.

free market system
Its pretty hard to discuss what is and how it operates without first agreeing on a definition.
However, we can agree that it only exist in la-la-land.
What “ism” that exist, in the real world, is subject to many interpretation by all.
What we can agree, is that where ever we look we see that the 10% have found many various ways of taking “the rake” to keep themselves on top of the pile no matter if the economy is in a positive feedback loop or a negative feed back loop.
Those same people make the rules and regulations so that they can be winners.
The majority of those same people have gone to the same schools, and got trained as lawyers, accountants, bankers and enablers for the elites.There is no proof of any wrong doing – Biden
( Rake is the commission fee taken by a poker room for operating the game. The commission is scaled to the buy-in and generally equals 5-10% of the pot in each hand.)

The readers of TAE are already awake. Its too late to change the system. We have been rejected by our friends and circle of life as tin foil. If we are not taking a “rake” we will suffer.

AP Interview: Ex-Polish president defends Biden and Burisma
By VANESSA GERAWARSAW, Poland (AP) — Aleksander Kwasniewski, a former Polish president who is on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, said Thursday that Hunter Biden was indeed chosen to join its advisory board because of his name. He said that is simply how the world of business works.
“I understand that if someone asks me to be part of some project it’s not only because I’m so good, it’s also because I am Kwasniewski and I am a former president of Poland,” he said. “And this is all inter-connected. No-names are a nobody. Being Biden is not bad. It’s a good name.”

If the House votes for impeachment the case goes to the Senate for trial.
The Republican led Senate has two choices:
It can decide to not open an impeachment trial by simply voting against impeachment. Trump wins.
It can open a impeachment trial, use it to extensively hurt the Democrats and, in the end, vote against impeachment. Trump wins big time.
Should the House vote for impeachment the Senate is likely to go the second path.An impeachment trial in the Senate would be a disaster for the Democrats.
I can not see why the Democrats would want to fall into such a trap. House leader Nancy Pelosi is experienced enough to not let that happen. But she will have to do some serious talk to convince the party that a vote on impeachment is not the best way to proceed.More info

Steele distributed other dossier reports, including one to an oligarch’s lawyer
November 26, 2019
Sample
Fiona Hill, a recent impeachment witness and a former top Russia expert on the National Security Council, suggested to lawmakers in a deposition recently that Steele’s dual role as government insider/informer and private intelligence provider left him vulnerable to Russian disinformation when he wrote his dossier.
“He was constantly trying to drum up business,” Hill testified when asked about her own contacts from time to time with the former British intelligence agent.
She said that when she read Steele’s anti-Trump dossier in January 2017 she instantly feared it might be disinformation fed to Steele by the Russians because he previously had done spy work for MI6.
“That is when I expressed the misgivings and concern that he could have been played,” Hill testified.Here is another summary.

Hold the press. There’s another report.Meddling in the 2016 election by Ukrainian politicians and government agencies happened. The above is true and no amount of denial is going to change that.
By Yasha LevineNovember 23, 2019
Ukrainian nationals didn’t just meddle on their own, they also worked with Americans — including Ukrainian-American political operatives on the payroll of the Democratic Party. Not only did all this happen, it was written up as fact by establishment papers and outlets as varied as Yahoo, Politico, and the Financial Times in 2016 on the eve of the election.
The principle actors openly talked and bragged about their exploits in the press. And why not? Back in 2016, no one thought that Trump would win the presidency. So why bother hiding it?Maybe this will be the final summary of the evidence that has been collected by all the different investigative reporters will finally make sense for you.
If you need to have more than the 9 CNN experts to tell you that its has not been debunked then read the following before making up your mind and try to keep track of the actual witness and participant that were involved.Ukraine, Trump, Biden — The Real Story Behind “Ukrainegate”

BREAKING: Former Ukrainian MP Alleges Biden Family Received $12M Kickback From Transaction With Burisma Owner To Kill London Criminal Cases, Provides Details To DOJ
by L Todd Wood November 22, 2019UPDATE: In further clarification of information provided, CD Media can now report that the $32M referenced below was sent to London, where it was seized by British officials and criminal charges were levied against Zlochevsky. Vice President Biden actively sought to have the charges thrown out in the United Kingdom for Zlochevsky in exchange for the $12M being diverted to Hunter Biden, according to Onyshchenko.
Hunter Biden was then brought onto the board of directors at Zlochevsky’s company Burisma and received further payments of $3.1M over a period of months.“Still, I think an 80% tax on billionaires is a good idea.”
You saw my indirect answer, from the Washington examiner
“the MSM is completely silent about this obvious graft.”
In my opinion:
The answer is in the hand of lawyers, accountants and bankers that can be hired to change the laws that have been made so that the elites can have an advantage.
Gosh! I think that there are already some laws that could equalize the playing field. Since nobody is bulletproof nobody will enforce those laws.
Will the new Ukraine president try to see if he is bulletproof?Is the following true. Zerohedge reports.
And while the Examiner reviewed “federal banking and corporate records” for their report, the MSM is completely silent about this obvious graft.CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and FOX have all been radio silent on this report.

November 21, 2019Today, will be the day for opinions. Lots of opinions. Some of the opinions will be propaganda. Some opinions will be wrong. Some opinions will be close to the truth.

Dorothea Lange We’ll be in California yet. We’re not going back to Arkansas 1938Those were not the poorest of the poor. They could afford to buy a truck, fix it up, buy supplies for a family of 10, buy gas, oil, spare parts.
The poor people stayed home to starve.How bad is it today?
To compare to today, 2019, don’t look at the homeless tent cities but rather at the caravans of mobile homes RV trying to find places to park without being harrased by the cops.I’ve gone camping with my home made 5 x 8 camper and seen a contractor and buddy tenting for free in a campground to save money to be able to make a profit from his out of town contract.
I know a salesman who sleeps in his car when on the roadWe don’t have a clue of the things that people have got to put up with, of how they got to hustle to put food on the table.
I remember, growing up, negative comments about people living in trailer camps. You all heard it too. rif-raf, trailer trash etc.
Today, the lucky ones will be those who still have a trailer roof over their head when they lose their job.Yep! Don’t ask. I’m lucky. I know it. I appreciate it.
