24 billion to MARS? … eh? (what a deal)

Ask me what inflation is …

Imagine what you could buy during the STAGFLATION of the 1970’s … and once again: ask me what inflation is … and then talk to me about “toilet paper shortages” and the BOY WHO CRIED WOLF psyops … just for fun.

In 1977, people thought it was plausible that $24 billion USD would get you to mars …

(in 2016 it cost me 700 EUROS to go 300 miles in Ireland)

(do the mileage calc on that one)

SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN …

(would be the 60 billion dollar man today)

SOVIETOLOGY: if this is true, do you know what it means?

Going into an EASING CYCLE, this represents the CRUX of Powell’s dilemma:

  1. RAISE RATES TOO MUCH: the BEAR eats him and the US economy crashes.
  2. LOWER RATES TOO MUCH: the TIGER eats him and the US economy crashes.
  3. BEGIN QUANTITATIVE EASING AGAIN: the tiger eats him and the US economy crashes.
  4. CONTINUED US GOVERNMENT KEYNESIAN BINGE: the tiger eats him and the US economy crashes.
  5. HUGE TRUMP TARIFFS: TIGER gets HOT for TEACHER, eats Powell, then Trump.

This is the HOTEL CALIFORNIA for that FED-BUCK FUCK.

(sorry Powell)

And perhaps that’s the crucial issue: what moves are left for Powell or the US treasury or US government, other than hoping the US GDP triples in the next few years … how will that happen?

  • AI
  • Crypto
  • Quantum Computers
  • Fusion Energy
  • Fission Energy Renaissance
  • Space Travel
  • Biotech
  • Cheap temperature tolerant synthetic super-conduction
  • Massive discovery of OIL off the coast of Uranus …
  • Radically lowering trade barriers and internal regulations on trade
  • Allowing the free market of money, all things people want to consider money: and this gives the FED time to EASE out of that business
  • Get rid of the IRS
  • END all the wars, bring the troops home
  • Other stuff?

You really need to believe in pixie dust bullshit at this point if you think EASING ends any other way but RAPID hyper-inflation … or nova-flation … blast out … explosion.

As I’ve said: your 401K might keep growing longer than there’s food at the grocery store.

Or maybe it will be WW3: but brother, we’re not there yet … it will take a BIG EVENT to galvanize the poors and get them riled up to kill some folks (poors) in another country.
