Here is this week's random thoughts. I have included pictures from the Great Depression. History is repeating itself right before our eyes. During the twenties people bought into the stock market that never would have prior to WW I. After WW I we had the buy now pay later system start and it exploded. Your middle class was buying stocks on margin. Meaning they put up a fraction of the cost for a stock and then a broker paid the rest. If a stock cost fifty dollars the individual would pay twenty-five and the broker paid the other twenty-five. This repeated until the margin was so high that the broker and the client made a nice little profit. However, in the case where the stock lost money the client would have to pay an extra bit of money or loss their profit to the broker. It was a nice little scam. Many brokers made millions doing that.
Then came the Great Depression. As usual, the White House wouldn't acknowledge there was a problem. Kind of like now. They admit there's a problem until they can clear out to avoid the fallout. However, over the last week, lamestream media outlets started talking about shortages. I guess if CNN is talking about them they are real. Only people like Christian Westbrook have been talking about upcoming shortages for over a year. He's the one who got me prepping.
