Another day, another cancellation.

Yesterday, it was Mr. Potato Head. Today, it’s Dr. Seuss.

March 2 marks Read Across America Day, a national recognition of Dr. Seuss’ birthday for more than 20 years. Now, a liberal educator group dubbed “Learning for Justice” is demanding Dr. Seuss‘ books be stripped from school libraries because of their “racial undertones.”

I'm just waiting for some alchemist to finally figure out how to
transmute lead into gold.

Inflation Dec 2020 to Jan 2021 is 0.43%, or 5.2% per annum.

Is this a blip or a trend?
You know what it is my man. But Michael Burry is also an idiot like me, he doesn't know what he's talking about, except ... our track records are phenomenal.

For the last 100 years 'clever' people have been inventing ever more fiendishly complex mechanisms to make profits out of financial instruments that have less and less connection to the real world. Bitcoin being the ultimate example, being worth a fortune based purely on speculation that it will be worth an even bigger fortune tomorrow.
BTC has the greatest connection to the real world, bug man. Ever heard of the internet? Oh yeah, I guess that's just a fake world to you, commerce and all.

One thing is very very clear, the savings of people has been exposed to devastating damage with declining interest rates without it having any noticeable effect on national economies at large.
BTC is the only way out of financial repression. You don't think they control gold, or can control it better than they now do? Ha, they already set fixed prices for it at a point in history. Not so with BTC, it cannot be done. It's unfathomable you all still don't understand that the only thing one can do to try to "control" BTC is ban your own people from it. Haha, and lose out ... and drive the price higher for those that desire it and oh yes, they will in other places. Enjoy that currency debasement and lovely FED policy, boys.

** 28-Feb-2021 World View: Trump's speech

That was really quite a speech that Trump gave, under the banner
"Uncanceled America." The one thing that was missing that I was
hoping for was some sort of plan to get around the Stalinist
censorship and control of 74 million people that the Democrats have
imposed, in league with the media and Big Tech as part of the
Democrats' Forced Universal Compliance Operations Program (FUCOP). As
I've said several times, this massive anti-constitutional censorship
is the darkest time in America in my memory, and I was hoping to hear
something about how it would end.

“There is a tide in the affairs of men,

Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune.

Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

On such a full sea we are now afloat.

And we must take the current when it serves.

Or lose our ventures.”

-Brutus in the play Julius Caesar
Shakespeare

They were caught in the death-spiral of perpetual money printing when they embarked on this predictable fate 12 years ago. Have they forgotten money printing has explicitly occurred for nearly a generation? The only difference now from 12 years ago, is that it's more difficult for liars to pretend.

Money cannot be printed- fake money can be

Money can be minted

Money cannot be created nor destroyed

Just a minor note on the book: Germany's population in 1940 was around 70 million, so 5 million people would have been around 7% of the population, not 3%, regarding the Holocaust.

The impression I get is, many aren't sure what to do. By this point, most of America's institutions are leftist and if you try to weaken them, you're likely to be destroyed. Look what happened when Trump made the attempt. I don't think the demand to impeach is so much because he got elected as it was a Republican won. If Rubio or Cruz became President, I doubt the response would have been much different. Silicon Valley has the kind of power the Robber Barons of the Gilded Age could only have dreamt of. I don't know how you could reverse it, either.

A lot of the people I know are conservatives and they're starting to realize how hated they truly are. They've always known progressives look down their noses at them and scoff, with a response of: "Who gives a shit what they think?" Now, however, they're realizing the sheer depths of loathing leftists hold, not just for Trump, but anyone who votes Republican.
