FIRST DOMINO TO FALL

So it begins. As we’ve seen in the Big Short movie/book, the timing of financial implosions is always difficult to predict, but the inevitable outcome of loaning money to people who can’t or won’t pay you back ALWAYS results in a financial crash/crisis. It has begun. First subprime auto loans. Next subprime credit card loans. Next subprime mortgage loans. Next prime auto loans. Next prime credit card borrowers. Next supposedly prime mortgage borrowers who weren’t really prime.

Commercial property loans are already bad. They are just extending and pretending, until they can’t. The government is the biggest subprime borrower in the history of the world, as the national debt approaches $34 trillion, up about $1 trillion in a month. And that isn’t taking into account the $200 trillion of unfunded promises which will be defaulted upon, because of math. The shit is hitting the fan and you need to duck.

Subprime Auto Loan Delinquency Erupts, Reaching Highest Rate On Record

We have been dutifully tracking the auto sector, considered a leading economic indicator, to pinpoint the arrival of the crushing auto loan crisis and even the possibility of the onset of the next recession. In late January, we cited data from Fitch that revealed consumers are falling behind on auto payments – the most since the peak of the Great Financial Crisis. Fast forward nine months later, to September, that rate just hit the highest level in nearly three decades.

In what could be the beginning innings of the auto loan crisis, something we called a “perfect storm” earlier this year, Bloomberg cites new Fitch data:

The percent of subprime auto borrowers at least 60 days past due on their loans rose to 6.11% in September, the highest in data going back to 1994, according to Fitch Ratings.

Source: Bloomberg 

The subprime borrower is getting squeezed,” said Margaret Rowe, senior director with Fitch.

Rowe said, “They can often be a first line of where we start to see the negative effects of macroeconomic headwinds.”

What has been widely known is the consumer has been funding car purchases with even more debt to afford record-high prices, with many monthly payments exceeding $1,000. Factor in the Federal Reserve’s most aggressive interest rate hiking cycle in a generation, elevated inflation, and the restarting of the federal student loan payments, tens of millions of consumers are under immense pressure this fall.

An endless stream of retailers, such as Walmart, Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Kohl’s – all of whom have recently warned about a consumer slowdown. Banks have also raised concerns, such as Morgan Stanley’s Mike Wilson, who believes the consumer is ‘falling off a cliff.’ And the latest high-frequency data from Barclays shows card spending has taken another leg down.

As delinquencies rise, Cox Automotive forecasts that 1.5 million vehicles will be seized this year, up from 1.2 million in 2022. That’s still below pre-pandemic levels, but the numbers could soar if a recession materializes in 2024.

Bloomberg cited Bankrate data that shows consumers with excellent credit can lock in an average interest rate of around 5.07% for a new car and 7.09% for a used vehicle. Those with bad credit should expect a new car rate of 14.18% and 21.38% for a used car.

The perfect storm we described earlier this year is unfolding.

I read most of it. Posted it here too. Listened to a couple of podcasts on it, as well.

Overall, however, I think Rick Rule hits the nail on the head, however. Yes, they have the legal structure to take all the financial thingies away. They will not use them and if they do it will no longer matter.

At the end of the day, all those financial assets are nothing more than bits on various computers. It’s all a confidence game. Broad confidence is what gives such “assets” their value. Steal all of them and that value goes instantly to Zero.

It will probably be a grind down from here. Stay prepped and ready but hold off major decisions until you know which way the wind will blow.

The only exception in my mind is the Sun. Anything like Carrington (X40-X80 flare) now, with our diminished magnetic field ends the whole game all at once. At that level, literally all grids and probably 99% of all electronic devices go down for good. And, if you are at least aware of Sun activity, you can get a 10-15 hour head start on the field. That is a huge advantage.

Better yet if millions just said ‘fuck it’ and refused to pay the ‘obligations’ and refuse to walk away, what do you think would happen??

In fact it would be to the benefit of those with the obligations to file grievances, real or not, against the lenders. Use the same lawfare tactics against them. Millions of lawsuits, frivolous or not, would overwhelm the **cough** just-them dept with no foreseeable end. Which means until settled in a court, you wouldn’t have to leave and they wouldn’t get paid.

US government repays debts with eternally depreciating currency- no different than shaving a silver coin. Tax non-compliance will come, but not strategically as in a mass popular movement. Instead it will happen as a result of so many being unable to pay, followed by those who can pay but won’t. Like when your neighbor walked away from their mortgage and drove your house price down, so you had to walk away too.

Electric cars risk becoming uninsurable

Electric cars risk becoming effectively uninsurable as analysts struggle to put a price on battery repairs, the researcher for the car insurance industry has said.

Jonathan Hewett, chief executive of Thatcham Research, the motor insurers’ automotive research centre, said a lack of “insight and understanding” about the cost of repairing damaged electric car batteries was pushing up premiums and resulting in some providers declining to provide cover altogether…

Mr Hewett said: “The challenge is that we have no way of understanding whether the battery has been compromised or damaged in any way.

“The threat of thermal runaway means that a catastrophic fire can take place if the cells of the battery have been damaged in a collision.

Gas mileage when down between the 60’s and 70’s and that 74 was one of the last models to use leaded fuel. 75 models were weird, you had to use unleaded, but run an occasional tank of leaded too. I think 76 was totally unleaded though, they must have had the catalytic converters working by then.

If the battery fires don’t get them the extra emf’s from being surrouded by the batteries will cook them.

Now is the time to stick it to the bankers. Quit paying. Research the asset exemptions for your state and move things accordingly. If you are a senior getting social security direct deposited into a bank account, creditors can’t touch any amount up to two times your benefit, it’s a federal rule.

By the way, I have done this and have one judgment now against me. Good luck collecting. Of course, if I had a windfall I would pay, otherwise they can shit in one hand………

Don’t worry, Yellen predicted a “soft landing! (sarc).

Actually I was hoping this would have happened earlier. I needed a new used truck and prices were to high but ended up buying anyway because I wanted a supercab and they are all crew cabs now so when I found one I bought.
I was hoping for all the repos to hit the market and drive prices down but just couldn’t wait. Not that it matters a lot, with the way the market has been going I would have lost an equivalent amount of investment worth anyway.

This situation can only get worse. With the government borrowing money at ever increasing amounts, it is leaving less and less money for the private sector driving up interest which drives up defaults.
The social contract that mandates the government works in the best interests of the people is broken, and the government has become the publics worst enemy.

Actually IN The Bible.

Near The END. Of all Places. Go Figure.

Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”

But then again, makes perfect sense from Satan’s “natural selection” perspective?

WHO would be better suited to ‘PRETEND’?

Hence the WARNING?

Revelation 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.”

Revelation 3:9 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”

Me thinks there is a bank bailout going on under the radar. Dealers are getting these repos at super good prices at auction, they then put these basically new cars on the used car lot at premium prices for sale. The lenders who had to take the hit on the repo are not screaming rape, so I think the banks are getting a bail out from the Fed who is looking to shove money coming back into the US into any rat hole possible.

The dealers are making thick bank and I know this for a fact.

“The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.”

Daniel 4:33 “The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ [feathers], and his nails like birds’ [claws].”

This is an instant fulfillment of the judgment. His nails, having not been cut for seven years, would be like bird’s claws. His hair would grow extremely long and straight in a period of seven years, also.

This is the description of a man who has lost his mind. Seven speaks of spiritual completeness.

Two important questions arise from this incident:

(1) Could it happen to a man; and

(2) Could it have happened to Nebuchadnezzar?

The answer to both questions is yes. There is a mental illness known as zoanthropy in which a man thinks and acts like an animal. It is also called boanthropy, more specifically, when a man thinks of himself as an ox. In answer to the second question, this illness is not mentioned in Nebuchadnezzar’s annals, but one would not expect such a humiliating experience to be chronicled. On the other hand, his long reign of 43 years is more than long enough to include the lengthy sickness.

Daniel 4:34 “And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever, whose dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation to generation:”

When the judgment was complete, Nebuchadnezzar’s mind was restored, and he worshipped God. His spiritual growth is complete. He now worships and praises the One True God.

God’s grace enables a person to do this.

My husband is ready to retire after 40 years in the car business, he is a subprime credit manager. He has had the best income years since Covid, banks still dumb enough to give a loan on a used car to people who can’t prove income and are dumb as a box of rocks. That’s equity for ya, these are the same people who got 125% loans for houses they couldn’t afford because some liberal thought everyone should own a home.
Good luck millennials, Gen XYZ you’ll never make enough money to buy a house, car and pay it off before you retire. Unless you’re one of the lucky ones who had their student loan debt absolved.
