More Hints of Economic Decline; June 1 Default Deadline Approaches
 PREVIEW
by davefairtex

Two economic reports, and a Balance Sheet: Producer Price Index (PPIACO): +0.08% m/m, -3.08% y/y.  Deflationary. Consumer Price Index (CPIAUCSL): +0.37% m/m, +4.72% y/y.  Inflationary. Fed Balance Sheet (WALCL): -0.01% w/w, -5.16% y/y.  Neutral. I believe that the drop in PPI y/y is explained by oil’s $45 plunge over the past 12 months.  Check out…

There’s a massive recession on the way that will strike in 2023, of that I am about as certain as I can possibly be. Normally, I keep my options open, and of course, I stand ready to be surprised if a recession doesn’t materialize, but the chances of being wrong here are so low as…

The Vital Connection Between Oil and The Economy Revealed in Two Simple Charts

There’s a huge, glaring defect at the core of our financial and economic system, and it’s sitting in plain sight. Surprisingly, few people are aware of it, and I can reveal it in just two simple charts. One of the growth in debt, the other in the relationship between economic growth and oil consumption. It’s…

There were a pair of economic reports this week: The Producer Price Index by Commodity (PPIACO): -0.72% month over month (m/m), +9.07% year over year (y/y).

One does not simply take a massively complex system like oil refining and jerk it about with sanctions and supply cuts without creating massive whiplash effects. But this is what Europe has done with Russian oil and gas and the knock-on effects are going to be exceptionally painful and long-lasting. For their part Saudi Arabia…

Today, we’re going back over The Great Reset. I initially produced this video back in November of 2020 and it’s worth revisiting today. Why? Because it’s hard to get our hearts and minds around the level of ignorance or depravity, or both, that the WEF/Davos crowd are exhibiting. They really are either as dense or…

An “Adjustment Reaction” is the very normal, usual, and human set of responses to a threat or new risk.  We all have one and we all go through them.  It’s just that some go through them much faster than others.  Perhaps that’s you.  Perhaps it’s not.  Either way, you should be aware of the process…

If you want to know, before other people, when something is about to change or break, you have to know where to look. In this video, I explain the “outside in” method of looking at the periphery for clues about when things might break down either sooner or harder. This method applies to individual organisms,…

Energy Crisis Upon Us

The Russian invasion of Ukraine – and the West’s response to it – have increased the chances of a major economic dislocation, possibly a financial collapse. Why? Because of the often severely under-appreciated role of energy in making everything else possible. In this episode – one of the more important ones I’ve ever made –…

 Prep Now for the Coming Winter Challenges
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the needs and sustainability of our family. We have six young children, our oldest just turned 12 and our youngest just turned 3 months old.
