Joel! you have an uncanny knack of using words to create mental pictures, that can become cinematic. When then read in context of real pictures or imaginary, when embedding this into one’s own personal collage of one’s life’s experiences, built up over years of travel, reading, talking and being with others, you regularly create great 5-15 minute sojourns and dot joining!
Thanks for your capacity to invoke vivid through word-smithing.
Joel, Always good to have some historical facts to back up a common sense reality check ,here in the U.S.of A. I think the political fantasy trip is over as we are slipping off the cliff into financial devastation.
Thanks Joel. Your writings should be must read for the "things are different this time" crowd. Regrettably, their tendency towards confirmation bias would preclude them from doing the reading. But, as you well know, if in fact you don't deal with reality then most certainly reality will deal with you. A gold standard (and/or Bitcoin) backing up our ugly fiat will return when crisis and chaos is in full bloom. Hopefully the nincompoops in DC don't start WWIII before then as an obfuscation move.
Great article as ever Joel thank you. Alas the developed world seems set on a journey to Athens, Harare and Caracas but if we can skip that and head straight to Milei’s Buenos Aires then maybe we can be saved.
