The short video of his commentary you posted last night was excellent.
I don’t know if you posted this last year; it was released last summer and I was in and out. However, it is a good review, I think and a good discussion for those who need to understand how cycles wax and wane and ebb and flow.
There is a very good discussion around the 17 minute point about a whole generation raised in privilege (Millennials?) assuming things about entitlements which are not true. (My paraphrase.)
And OMG… at the 20 minute point Neil Howe makes my point about the snooty snoots from the east coast thinking they are smarter than the fruits and nuts on the west coast and I guess us flyover troglodytes are like clothing and apparel recycled through the washtub of history.
Snooty snoots from the east coast + Fruity nuts from the west coat = Severe disconnect in cultural understanding.
Equals other stuff too.
Speaking of Black Swans…………………………..
Dow set to open down 1250 points this morning.
Speaking of nuts! Here is a short clip from the movie Interstate 60 featuring Chris Cooper as Mr. Bob Cody and James Marsden as Neil Oliver. BTW, with some reservations Interstate 60 is one of my favorite movies for some of the truth it levies against certain demographics. Without further ado here is the link to the video clip:

Annnnnd It’s a BLOODBATH!
Current Dow is at -1700 and dropping like a rock.
Catching us with our pants down. Now, let’s say we experience a serious earthquake on the west side or maybe a terrorist bombing on the east side or a delayed planting season in the middle. If you’re not prepped up yet, you should probably get crack’n.
