The next global financial meltdown

[Alistair]

^ You would make an excellent compiler and commenter of my whole [STRIKE]body[/STRIKE] work of posting
Especially the part in which you enlighten the rest of the world about my own intentions behind them


So my life during high school was relatively upsetting, but yours must have been truly miserable.

That explains a lot

You went through the whole crap only to dig that nugget?

the Donald's economic advisors are all acting like they've been locked in a round room and told to go sit in the corner. They're baffled as to what to do to delay the foreseeable upcoming recession that will probably occur before next years election since the Donald is going to run on how well the economy is doing under his watch

^ Don't forget the trade war follows the thread of the rhetoric that led him to office: let's start a war with the bad people to make America great again. To do well, he must follow that logic really deep: if everything truly starts crumbling down, they must believe it is for a good cause, like fighting the Chinese with numbers like they did the Japanese with bombs: otherwise, if people start hurting, but everything remains much the same...
Still, how many people are following that, giving that, like in the rest of the world, in the USA people choose to vote against rather than for a candidate... and, most important, will he have the

to go to the end... you know, like he did with Korea, or with China until now.

BTW, funny that my original stronger hunch, the one pointing at 2023, is the only one not to have received a vote yet... I'm still deciding

Whenever I consider how (why) and when economic cycles become supernovae, I always think of the aged generations, the retired people, the last younger generation starting to rot, pushed by the new younger generation, I consider what they are costing and what they are contributing to the system in which their different sections are (retirement investments, payrolls, spending and credit records, whatever...) and then skim the vague idea that, without even the need of a dark hand pulling strings from behind and above, there is a point in which it makes sense to "let go", and then there is that 'aware hand' that simply acts accordingly, when it is evident (except for the rest of us), that the moment has come to sweep the mandala and start the... work all over again; or maybe not.

^ You are bound to be correct at some point. What´s the link? ´Capitalism isn´t working´ back in 2011?

This is an heuristic, impresionistic board: it's not like I would post the exact sequence and timing, if I had it that perfected...

Every so often I see someone say that a downturn is coming, but I've heard this for about a year now. There are always cycles so one is bound to happen sooner or later, but I wouldn't want to bet on just when. I do think that there will be a downturn if the Democrats win in 2020, but I will still vote for Democrats.

 

[belamyi]

Oooooh, a poll!! I definitely should have added at least five years...
Light up the cracker, let it speed up, get it busted and then have all the messy colours paint the black canvas that took years to get dark enough... it all takes its time. 2023 is definitely a hinge, but so might be said of several previous ones...

By "meltdown" I truly meant

Not just
