investmentwatchblog--2020-12-31--Breadlines Stretch Across America: This Economic Collapse Is Much Worse Than You Are Being Told

The economic collapse of 2020 has undeniably widened the wealth gap .
Now , our country is essentially divided between those who patiently wait for some food in breadlines – after losing their ability to provide for themselves and , oftentimes , the roof over their heads – and those who sit comfortably at their own homes waiting for the meltdown to be over while discovering the joy of baking bread .

The economic collapse of 2020 has undeniably widened the wealth gap. Now, our country is essentially divided between those who patiently wait for some food in breadlines – after losing their ability to provide for themselves and, oftentimes, the roof over their heads – and those who sit comfortably at their own homes waiting for the meltdown to be over while discovering the joy of baking bread. Breadlines vs. Bread makers, that’s the ominous picture of an increasingly unequal America. That’s what we’re going to expose in this video.
Yesterday, Bloomberg released a piece on the faces of the collapse in the United States. The report describes that since the downturn has started, millions of lives have been affected – but in extremely different ways.
On one side, we have low-wage and middle-class workers that became reliant on food assistance programs and unemployment benefits to secure a minimum level of dignity for themselves. On the other side, we have a small affluent mass who has been largely benefiting from rising home prices, new work-at-home arrangements, and the pleasures of baking bread.
The article tells the stories behind the faces that have become a truthful representation of the struggles that emerged through the course of the year. For millions of jobless Americans unemployment checks already hit the 39-week limit and expired.
Despite a new stimulus package having passed last week, the new $900 billion dollar plan is being held hostage as the President won’t sign it, and politicians are having another impasse over their new demands before releasing the bill.
Even after the President eventually signs it, the money will still be weeks away from people’s reach, which means that many will be left hanging for quite a while, and in the meantime, their food and housing situation will remain uncertain.
The population and our economy are now experiencing a world of low-expectations. The overall economy is leaving the year nearly 5% smaller than it would have been if the crisis hasn’t happened. Only 57% of the population is still employed at this point, which is the lowest level since May 1983, if we don’t count the worse months of this year.
On the flip side of the coin, financial markets have registered considerable gains in the aggregate net worth of wealthy Americans since migration patterns towards suburban areas have increased the value of their properties and made them even wealthier.
Meanwhile, as the well-off set of the population has embraced new ways of working and their own household wealth has substantially grown, for millions the worst is yet to come. In a few days, a patchwork of unemployment benefits, eviction moratoriums, rental assistance, and mortgage forbearance programs that assisted many to make ends meet is scheduled to lapse.
According to the latest projections, 10 million households are at risk of eviction. According to the U.S. Census Bureau data, approximately one in six people have fallen behind in rent payments. Over 4 million have revealed to believe they will be forced out of their homes over the next couple of months. Even employed workers have been experiencing mounting financial troubles.
The data shows that employment income has dropped this year for almost half of those living in households earning less than $100,000 a year. Compared to those who earn over $200,000 a year, the figure is less than one-third. More concerningly, roughly 40% of those earning less than $50,000 a year have disclosed they expect their income to decline in the coming month.
The labor market has been battered by so many rounds of restrictions and every month it passes, it regains fewer jobs than the month before. The November jobs report showed that only 245,000 jobs were added, a disappointing figure compared to the 432,000 jobs economists were expecting. The unemployment rate has fallen a mere 0.2%, sparking concerns amongst experts.
As long as we keep failing to keep the health crisis under control and strict measures continue to be applied to business operations, there will be gradually less jobs to go around next year. That is to say, there isn’t a change of perspective in sight for the millions still unemployed and dealing with food and housing insecurity.
The collapse has laid bare just how unequal our system is. As euphoria on Wall Street sends stock prices to astronomical heights, Main Street remains in crisis, with roughly 8 million Americans joining the ranks of the poor since June. The numbers are even letting some billionaires worried that the enormous inequality may lead to mass conflicts in months ahead. And when even the establishment is showing to afraid that things could suddenly get out of hand is because much more turbulence is about to emerge.

I have spent the last few weeks intensely looking for truth in this time of mass misinformation.
I have a background in this kinda thing (social stats degree), and I have to admit, I am absolutely devastated by what I’ve found.
I have found NUMEROUS, serious medical professionals, with credentials that are simply insane, people who have dedicated their lives for this very moment, not only scrubbed from the internet but called the most disgusting, vile things.
For telling the truth.
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’”

There is one particular case, Dr. Roger Hodkinson which really had an impact on me because he was literally speaking to my very own city council.
Now, before these comments left his mouth, this was an extremely educated and respected man. He was literally head of some very powerful and influential medical organizations, both provincially and federally.
He has literally gone on to the private sector and is now IN the business of, you guessed it, COVID testing. What he is saying publicly is actually detrimental to his company.
And literally 5 minutes of truth, spoken in aloud in public, has nearly “scrubbed” him from reality.
Where merely 5 minutes before this man was responsible for the health of countless people. He was head of the university responsible for teaching the next generation of doctors.
Our faith in him was unquestionable. People at the highest levels of federal politics in Ottawa felt the same.
Until those five minutes of truth were spoken.
“For the first time he perceived that if you want to keep a secret you must also hide it from yourself.”
–Orwell
Now, if you can find him on the internet, it’s merely articles discussing his obvious lunacy. Some freelance content writer who couldn’t find a job outta college is now the expert on experts?
He made the news.
As a joke. To be ridiculed. Discredited. Erased.

Why it matters: If this intelligence were to be confirmed, it would represent a dramatic strategic shift for China, and sharply escalate tensions between China and the U.S. If the intelligence does not prove accurate, it raises questions about the motivations of the sources behind it as well as the decision to declassify it.
China has long played a quiet diplomatic role in Afghanistan, inviting Afghan Taliban officials to Beijing to discuss plans for a peace deal and encouraging an Afghan-led solution, though Chinese-made weapons and financing have at times also flowed into the conflict there.
It seems “incongruous” that China would take such a provocative action in Afghanistan, Andrew Small, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund who specializes in China-Afghanistan affairs, told Axios.
Pursuing peace in Afghanistan is “one of the extremely rare areas where the US and China still have a willingness to work together on an area of importance,” Small said. “They know the drawdown is taking place. We’re not in the context where anything else needs to happen to US troops in Afghanistan. There is no reason to create additional pressure on US forces.”

A host of corporate media outlets including CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and MSNBC have participated in private dinners and sponsored trips with the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a Chinese Communist Party-funded group seeking to garner “favorable coverage” and “disseminate positive messages” regarding China, The National Pulse can reveal.

I was doing good sales and traffic .
Then last week my ads that I was paying stopped brining in traffic .
I raised a ticket with google support then got the above email .
Further back and forth and the google rep states if I was to remove the COVID shirts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shirts .
These shirts are borderline bad humor and mostly sold to USA and Uk .
But there nothing harmful about them nor dangerous so I am at a loss why google has the right to kill off my store .

The U.S. economic recovery is K-shaped: most people are suffering while some are doing well. The stock market is rallying while Consumer Confidence has not recovered at all:
This may seem like a bearish sign for stocks, but it isn’t. The stock market is forward looking, and it’s normal for post-recession bull markets to have weak consumer confidence:
As has been the case for most of the past decade, U.S. stocks have outperformed ex-U.S. stocks. That is starting to change as ex-U.S. stocks challenge their January 2018 highs:

Contrary to standard technical analysis, breakouts aren’t always bullish. Breakouts are more bullish in the U.S. than outside the U.S., mostly due to the fact that the U.S. has outperformed ex-U.S.
A consistently high % of U.S. stocks are hitting 52 week highs:
In recent decades this was bullish for stocks over the next year.

Koops holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, and was for many years a quality assurance manager in the pharmaceutical industry. He thoroughly dismantles media claims that Covid19 is “deadly” and that any vaccine could “wipe out the virus”. His five main points are:
1. The coronavirus, SARS-COV-2, is not “deadly.” It can lead to death in very well-identified segments of the population, e.g. the infirmed elderly or poor, but it is very rarely death by the virus. It may be death by bacteria or other causes, yes, but very rarely, if ever, by virus. This is exactly the same as other URI and many other infectious diseases.

Koops’ opening to the piece reflects the experience of all those of us who can still think:

Russia ’ s mineral and energy wealth has given it a second chance in global affairs after the Cold War and the implosion of the Soviet Union .
Oil and gas exports have provided the necessary income to rebuild the country and exert influence abroad .
The energy transition is the ‘ Sword of Damocles ’ hanging over the Russian fossil fuel industry .
Moscow , therefore , is trying to find a new purpose for its energy industry by early investments in hydrogen technologies .
Russia ’ s energy ministry is working on a hydrogen strategy in cooperation with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The tools for this transformation are the country ’ s energy titans Rosatom , Novatek , and Gazprom .
Each of these companies , with the support of Moscow , is looking into different technologies to produce and export the hydrogen .
According to deputy prime minister Alexander Novak , “ experts say that hydrogen may constitute 7 to 25 percent of the global energy balance by 2050 , as soon as the issues of high production costs and the challenges related to transportation are resolved.
” To develop a hydrogen sector , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already possesses such as the world ’ s largest natural gas reserves , strong nuclear know-how , and high-class energy research facilities .
The country ’ s energy mix is a reflection of the current state of affairs .
Russia has one of the world ’ s largest nuclear plant fleets which is built and operated by state-owned Rosatom .
A significant order portfolio for new plants both domestically and abroad is an incentive to develop and improve existing technologies .
Therefore , nuclear energy is seen as an asset which through the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ produce ‘ yellow ’ hydrogen .
Russian and Japanese officials and representatives of their respective industries are already in talks for cooperation opportunities .
In this regard , Rosatom and Japan ’ s Kawasaki Heavy Industries intend to export the first shipment by 2024 .
The Japanese intend to expand their knowledge of the industry and build on the experience of importing hydrogen from their enterprise in Australia that will start operations in 2021.Related : Will Batteries Kill Off Traditional Power Plants ?
Furthermore , Novatek , Russia ’ s largest independent gas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opportunities to supplement its LNG activities .
According to CEO Leonid Mikhelson , the company is planning to build steam-methane reforming facilities on the Yamal peninsula to produce hydrogen .

Russia’s mineral and energy wealth has given it a second chance in global affairs after the Cold War and the implosion of the Soviet Union. Oil and gas exports have provided the necessary income to rebuild the country and exert influence abroad. The energy transition is the ‘Sword of Damocles’ hanging over the Russian fossil fuel industry. Moscow, therefore, is trying to find a new purpose for its energy industry by early investments in hydrogen technologies.
Russia’s energy ministry is working on a hydrogen strategy in cooperation with foreign partners in Japan and Germany. The tools for this transformation are the country’s energy titans Rosatom, Novatek, and Gazprom. Each of these companies, with the support of Moscow, is looking into different technologies to produce and export the hydrogen.
According to deputy prime minister Alexander Novak, “experts say that hydrogen may constitute 7 to 25 percent of the global energy balance by 2050, as soon as the issues of high production costs and the challenges related to transportation are resolved.”
To develop a hydrogen sector, Russia intends to use the assets it already possesses such as the world’s largest natural gas reserves, strong nuclear know-how, and high-class energy research facilities. The country’s energy mix is a reflection of the current state of affairs.
Russia has one of the world’s largest nuclear plant fleets which is built and operated by state-owned Rosatom. A significant order portfolio for new plants both domestically and abroad is an incentive to develop and improve existing technologies. Therefore, nuclear energy is seen as an asset which through the process of electrolysis could be used to produce ‘yellow’ hydrogen.

Russian and Japanese officials and representatives of their respective industries are already in talks for cooperation opportunities. In this regard, Rosatom and Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries intend to export the first shipment by 2024. The Japanese intend to expand their knowledge of the industry and build on the experience of importing hydrogen from their enterprise in Australia that will start operations in 2021.Related: Will Batteries Kill Off Traditional Power Plants?
Furthermore, Novatek, Russia’s largest independent gas producer, is already looking for new opportunities to supplement its LNG activities. According to CEO Leonid Mikhelson, the company is planning to build steam-methane reforming facilities on the Yamal peninsula to produce hydrogen. Additional carbon capture and storage projects will be required to produce so-called ‘blue’ hydrogen and meet the necessary standards. Mikhelson expects hydrogen to represent “a noticeable share in global energy consumption between 30 and 40 years from today.”
Russia’s unchallenged gas champion Gazprom, however, is pursuing a different path. The company already operates extensive pipeline infrastructure to Europe and is expanding capacity to China. Due to the lifetime of the pipelines, hydrogen could be used to extend operations well after natural gas has been phased out. Before pure hydrogen can be pumped, admixing is a good alternative to reduce the carbon footprint and meet the requirements of customers.
The technology Gazprom is looking into, however, is a process called methane pyrolysis. For this technique, natural gas is still used as the starting point of the process but the byproduct is different from methane reforming. By using heat, natural gas molecules are broken down into hydrogen and carbon which is not gaseous but solid. The carbon then can be used for other industrial processes and increase the value of the process.
Lastly, while renewables are not a big part of Russia’s energy mix and the government hasn’t announced ambitious plans, there is a bright future for wind in the country. Especially the coastal regions in the northwest are highly suitable for ‘green’ hydrogen production through electrolysis. The existing natural gas pipelines could be reused to pump hydrogen to consumers.
Despite the potential and intentions to become a hydrogen exporter, there is a very long way to go. Russia is one of the country’s most seriously affected by the energy transition due to its sizeable fossil fuel exports. Moscow realizes, therefore, that the current modus operandi is not sustainable. The current hydrogen plans are imperative to diversify the economy and develop new industries.

investmentwatchblog--2020-12-30--Covid payment drama is setting us up for Universal Basic Income

UBI means every citizen gets a check from the govt every month .
It ’ s a paycheck from the govt for everyone .
It ’ s universal .
But it ’ s also basic , meaning it ’ s just enough to keep you above the poverty line .
Of course , if everyone gets this income , then no one should be below the poverty line .
But does that mean no one will ever be poor ever again ?
That ’ s the promise .
I wonder if it ’ ll be empty like literally every other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would say that UBI will cause prices of all goods to rise , and the poverty line will go up – probably faster than the amount of the paychecks .
It will cause a big increase in inflation .
It won ’ t solve poverty .
In all likelihood , it ’ ll cause MORE poverty .
But guess what ?
We ’ re for sure going to find out if I ’ m right .
We ’ re for sure going to have UBI .
Probably the whole world eventually , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Covid payment drama .
Everyone in the entire country wants a check .
No one gives a shit about the consequences .
They just want a check .
Any politician that ’ s standing in the way of that is despised by literally everyone .
Here ’ s a policy issue that will always get the public ’ s attention and will always get universal agreement .
“ Citizens , would you like to get a check from the govt ?
” Every single person in the entire country will answer yes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aware that the govt giving everyone a check is unsustainable long term .
Where is all that money supposed to come from ?
People like you and me who work for a living .
Next they ’ ll legalize all drugs , and UBI will enable all kinds of people to turn into stoned out couch potatoes .
Sure , they ’ ll have just a tiny little apartment and barely make do , but they ’ ll be high all day and won ’ t have to work .
Hasn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many people teleworking for the first time have let personal hygiene slide ?
The routines are broken .
You don ’ t go to the office anymore .
It ’ s easier to work in your pajamas .
It ’ ll be easier to not work , and people will go that route .
And the rest of us will have to support them .

What is Universal Basic Income?
Learn more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income
UBI means every citizen gets a check from the govt every month. It’s a paycheck from the govt for everyone. It’s universal.
But it’s also basic, meaning it’s just enough to keep you above the poverty line.
Of course, if everyone gets this income, then no one should be below the poverty line. But does that mean no one will ever be poor ever again? That’s the promise. I wonder if it’ll be empty like literally every other govt promise before it. Basic economics would say that UBI will cause prices of all goods to rise, and the poverty line will go up – probably faster than the amount of the paychecks. It will cause a big increase in inflation. It won’t solve poverty. In all likelihood, it’ll cause MORE poverty.
But guess what? We’re for sure going to find out if I’m right. We’re for sure going to have UBI. Probably the whole world eventually, but definitely in the US.
Look at the Covid payment drama. Everyone in the entire country wants a check. No one gives a shit about the consequences. They just want a check. Any politician that’s standing in the way of that is despised by literally everyone.
Here’s a policy issue that will always get the public’s attention and will always get universal agreement. “Citizens, would you like to get a check from the govt?” Every single person in the entire country will answer yes to that question.
