    • Auto Imports From Mexico Surge As US Sales Decline (WS)

    If the auto worker don’t make enough money to buy a car, then who will buy a car?
    What will happen when the banks/lenders stop buying/giving car loans to people who do not have enough income to pay off the car loans?
    I guess the number don’t lie. Its already happening.

    ” but the longest expansion of the economy in US history. Over the last four quarters, the US economy as measured by nominal GDP (not adjusted for inflation) grew by 4.0%. Over the same period, the US gross national debt grew by 5.6% (not adjusted for inflation).”

    First, Just to let you know, “I don’t understand why we still have a social/economic system that is functioning.”

    I guess that makes me as smart as an economist and a talking TV expert.

    I went to the wrong school with the wrong math teachers who did not teach me what happens with two different exponential growth and how to use MMT properly. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory)

    I was never taught how to use other peoples money (scam) to live the rich lifestyle.

    Next thing …. I’ll be suspecting all the reporters of creating fake news.

    https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/27/john-kerry-son-email-hunter-biden/

    Former Secretary of State John Kerry’s son reportedly cut ties with Hunter Biden over the lawyer’s Ukrainian oil deal in 2014
    “Apparently Devon and Hunter both joined the board of Burisma and a press release went out today,” Heinz wrote on May 13, 2014, hours after Biden’s appointment to the board was made public, according to the Washington Examiner.
    Biden stepped down from the board before his father began his presidential campaign in 2019, while Archer is currently under trial for a Ponzi scheme unrelated to Burisma business.

    Burisma Holdings was the focus of a “U.K. money laundering probe,” the Examiner reported. The company paid $3.4 million in 2014 and 2015 to Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLC, according to financial data cited in The New York Times.
    “I cant speak why they decided to, but there was no investment by our firm in their company,” he said.
    Heinz’s spokesperson told the Examiner he was not involved in any Burisma dealings and has not been associated with Rosemont Seneca Partners since 2015. He did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

    But with whom their sons cut lucrative deals while the elder two were steering the ship of state is more of a surprise.
    What Hunter Biden, the son of America’s vice president, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (later to be secretary of state), were creating was an international private equity firm. It was anchored by the Heinz family alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital. The new firm would be populated by political loyalists and positioned to strike profitable deals overseas with foreign governments and officials with whom the US government was negotiating.
    Hunter Biden, Vice President Joe Biden’s youngest son, had gone through a series of jobs since graduating from Yale Law School in 1996, including the hedge-fund business.

    I’m not an investigative journalist.
    If you are looking for the truth.
    If you feel that its important for you to know the truth.

    Then
    Before you decide to make up your mind
    you must take the time to read the following ….

    Here is the dirt Trump wanted from Zelensky about the Bidens and why Zelensky doesn’t want to give it to him — hidden by rampant falsehoods in the press

    Basically, the new Russiagate charges to replace Trump by Pence, Ukrainegate (as those charges were presented by the CIA ‘whistleblower’ on August 12th and published on September 26th), represent all of the Democratic Party’s billionaires, and many of the Republican Party’s ones, as well. It’s the pinnacle of the Obama-versus-Trump feud, because it represents the Democratic Party’s position on what was Obama’s top international achievement — his conquest (via a coup) against Ukraine. Trump refuses to condemn Obama’s coup against Ukraine, but if he cared about the truth, he would, and the worst that could happen to him then would be that, for once in his life, he’d be fighting for truth, and not just for himself. Apparently, that’s too big a leap for him to take.

    What’s especially pathetic in all of this is that whenever the U.S. Government overthrows and destroys a country, it’s trumpeted as reflecting America’s standing-up for rule-of-law and opposition to corruption, and for support of democracy and protection of human rights; but whenever Russia or a nation that’s friendly toward Russia resists control by the U.S. and its allies, it’s portrayed as being a dictatorship and an opponent of democracy and of human rights. So, go figure.

    For example:
    1. they, ( the upper half of the bell curve), think that the rif-raf cannot,and don’t know how to organize a demonstration.
    2. They, (the upper half of the bell curve), think that the rif-raf, (the lower half of the bell curve), will put up with any and all social/economic conditions imposed by the upper half without causing any problem ( the rif-raf are considered sheeps)

    3. They, (the upper half of the bell curve), cannot understand why there is such a thing as the yellow vest, the umbrella demonstration, and the students and their supporters demonstrating for mother earth.

    4. They, (the upper half of the bell curve), expect the rif-raf, (the lower half of the bell curve), to behave just like the North Koreans, the Haitians, etc. and to accept and to stay in their place.

    In a newly sworn affidavit prepared for a European court, Shokin testified that when he was fired in March 2016, he was told the reason was that Biden was unhappy about the Burisma investigation. “The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors,” Shokin testified.

    North America’s Bird Population Is Collapsing – Nearly 3 Billion Birds Have Been Wiped Out Since 1970



    All around us, our world is literally in a state of collapse, but most people don’t seem to care. I spend much of my time writing about the inevitable collapse of our economic and financial systems, but they are only one part of the story. These days, millions upon millions of us are spending countless hours in this “virtual world” that we have created, and that is preventing many of us from understanding what is really going on in “the real world”.

    Everywhere around us, we can see decay, decline or collapse. This stunning drop in the bird population is just one more example.

    But just like with so many other issues, most people don’t really care, and most people certainly don’t want to change.

    So in the end we will reap what we have sown, and it will not be pleasant.
