Interest rates on commercial lending have skyrocketed along with residential in the past month. The effects of this will not be felt for maybe a few months, but they will be huge. We are headed for massive stagflation and shortages of literally every single thing you might want to buy. Hard to believe this isn't all part of the plan.

The loss of common sense in just about everything is astounding. From global warming to airborne respiratory viruses and everything else, it's as though none of these highly credentialed people are in touch with reality. Solidarity used the words "2+2 must always equal 4" to explain why communism would never work in Poland. We need to get back to that basic approach.

One detail: The Chinese government's actions in Shanghai seem more and more to be motivated by internal political conflict and less by any genuine public health concern.

Biden is marching off a cliff, yet seems unconcerned, even though under normal circumstances that would be political suicide. Yet he acts blasé. about it. We must presume that "Biden" is a mouthpiece for his entourage, but whoever is in charge seems to be unconcerned about the blowback. This makes me think that his entourage knows something we don't know. What level of election fraud are we going to see in November?

Could the Chinese lockdowns also be a means for them to inflate us to our knees? They're curbing our supplies by shutting down and not producing goods for the rest of the world. Skyrocketing inflation in the US takes our eyes off them a bit. Next thing you know they've annexed Taiwan It's a power move, perhaps.

Ordered a new easy chair and ottoman to replace my old favorite back in October. Ordered from a U.S. manufacturer. 7 months delivery with half down. I bet my wife we’d get hit up for a price bump when the second half of the payment is due. Can’t see how manufacturers will stay in business otherwise. How could their margins handle it?

Isn’t this just the skid marks of a major manufacturing boom for USA? As we figure it out we will just start making things and people will become addicted to the tricks and magic of manufacturing.
