This week we discuss the dysfunction of Congress, more workers strikes, and the continued economic failings of the green revolution. We also look at the success or lack of success of AI trading models, Tesla's awful week, and why the Japanese Yen could be the spark that ignites a financial powder keg.

This week we discuss risk takers and how they shall inherit the country and always have.

Looking Backwards- The US is having trouble finding buyers of their bonds, the green energy racket is being exposed, and pharmacists are walking out. Looking Forwards- What will we learn about the Finnish pipeline explosion, why the US froze money it had already given to Iran, and why the housing indistry is begging Jerome Powell to ease off on the interest rates.

We continue to explore who might be behind Hamas after the weekend of terrorism in Israel.

Hamas brutally attacked Israel with a surprise attach by air, land and sea on Saturday. We discuss why Hamas would do such a thing and find that Israel treatment of its neighbors has been less than forthcoming and more like the US treatment of its adversaries. We explore why Hamas would attack its more powerful neighbor knowing the response would be swift and powerful which it was. We also do some...

Today we investigate the terrible position that our government has put us in. We realize that there is no way out, and that our standard of living will forever be altered.

Zombie companies are going away, many of them were in San Francisco, and now even crypto is feeling the pinch in the UK. Rising bond yields are starting to have an effect on AI and high flying stocks which has banks worried about liquidity. In the backdrop of this environment is the American worker which is demanding higher wages.

Today we explore the weights that America has imposed on its once great economy.

Looking Backwards, we examine the faulty economics of the EV agenda, how de-dollarization is starting in the energy industry, and how renting is a much better option than buying in 2023 America. Looking Forwards, we discuss how China is pushing back against American chip boycotts with their own export boycott of certain raw materials needed for semiconductors and solar panels. We also examine the...

Today we discuss how the unions are striking the automakers because worker/executive compensation has gotten ridiculous. We see both sides of the argument and both make sense. We compare union autoworkers to Tesla's non union wages and we discuss another strike the Sag-AFTRA. It seems everywhere we look there is an unequal distribution of earnings and workers have had enough.

This week we discuss the Nex Mexico governor trying to take the people's guns. They people weren't having any of that. Joe biden is building a road from India to Europe, but there is no plan and no mention of how to pay for it. NYC shuts down AirBnbs in a big way. A Minnesota woman is crying the blues. Americans are starting to have their spending cut off at the banks. Calpers has a new fi...

Today we look to Henry Ford as a example of how to solve some of our problems today: productivity and Fordism.

Today we talk about Biden cancelling leases and restricting oil drilling in the US and how this is affecting the price at the pump for consumers. We notice the earthquake in Morocco and how regional banks are still vulnerable to commercial real estate. Finally we discuss how wind power continues to not work and how it is affecting the prices of utility companies.

Today we look at American arrogance and how it leaves it vulnerable to unwanted complications: foreign, financial, and domestic. #bonds #inflation #China #Nvidia #STD

The labor market is tightening and making up stats on their surveys not census numbers as I mistakenly said. Trouble for Disney and Nascar as woke policies are plaguing those companies. We also review what has happened in the week of octogenarians in politics as well as catch up on the Kansas newspaper case where the getapo like raids took place. Lastly, we see that some parents are pushing back o...

What is China really doing? I share with you my possible anticipation.

Today we discuss the BRICS meeting, the portable ports-potties in San Francisco are off to a rough start, and did we get flagged by Google for talking bad about them? We also take a look at American Hubris of the rich and how china is trying to work its way out of its own real estate debt crisis, but their government isn't bailing them out. Is there a lesson to be learned there?

Embrace the boring as C Thomas Printer discusses the craziness of the bond market and why it could be more risky than previously thought.

Today in Looking Backwards Looking Forwards we discuss anti-politician music going number 1, self-created traffic jams and new mobile porta potties, and Argentina voting right and getting their currency devalued as a response. The upcoming Brics meeting is in our sights and Egypt's, a Kansas newspaper gets raided "gestapo style" and kids in Montana get a climate ruling protecting the...

We are seeing the effects of higher rates already.

In this week's Looking Backwards Looking Forwards we discuss the inflation prints, the fire in Maui, and Sam Bankman-Fried going back to jail. Looking Forwards we are watching Ecuador and their elections, tire wear from EV vehicles, and the Brics meeting Aug 22 in South Africa.

Today we discuss the Fitch down grade of the credit rating of the US along with other factors that could impact the treasury markets and ultimately interest rates.

Today we discuss the US credit downgrade by Fitch, bank faliures, and how India is not exporting any more rice. We also discuss the US spending problem, possible Kenyan default on Eurobonds, and another comany trying to go woke and go broke.

This week's Bygone Relics: Every superpower in world history that thought themselves invincible made a bad series of decisions over time that had unintended consequences. Do you think that the US just have a Hurricane Andrew/Burmese python moment?

This week's LBLF show opens with Yellow Corp's inability to make pension payments.
