I think the U.S. economy and potentially many fiat currencies are going to collapse this year.
The past two years of nonsense cannot logically continue, especially with a potentially shrinking U.S. labor force (we will see what the labor numbers are tomorrow, every death or injury of a young person at this point is a huge, huge problem). I know that people say that those coming over the U.S.-Mexico border are our replacements, but they are not as intelligent or skilled as us. They cannot produce what we produce currently. Businesses will continue to die out. The supply chains are already in disarray. Large corporations have significant vacancies, and many small businesses have little to no help. This is not sustainable, and I do not even understand how it is has been sustained up to this point.
No matter what the Supreme Court does with the challenges to the mandates, a titanic collapse is coming. Shortages are already seen in stores and by factory workers. Prices are in flux. Everything is uncertain. Yet, the stock market is at record highs. Bizarre world we live in.
Here is the problem, these corporations don’t care about labor shortages. Their goal is to reduce the size of their labor force each year to pretend that they are making record profits, so all this labor shortage is doing is hastening the inevitable layoffs of the next several years. The people left behind are the gullible workaholics (idiots) who sacrifice everything for the sake of a company that is just one stock valuation away from letting them go. These executives are so detached from the ground level that they think that everything is disposable and replaceable. They overvalue their “leadership skills” and are convinced that the corporate structure itself is what keeps the company alive and successful, not the people within the structure.
