Take away the Treasury's ability, the political ability, to borrow endlessly create credit out of thin air without consequence, and all this shit ENDS.
You should have listened 50 yrs ago. You were warned.

55 E. Jackson Blvd. Chicago, Illinois is up for sale after the lender that sought to foreclose on it decided abandoning the building was smarter than seizing it.
452,186 SF entirely vacant except for ground floor retail leases with Potbelly and Starbucks.
Bids are expected just below $25 per square foot, or roughly $11M.
Leasehold interest sold for $64M in 2019.
"Ready Capital and Marc Realty terminated the ground lease to help prepare the building for a sale, according to CBRE. Proceeds from a sale would be placed in escrow, and parties involved in the property will be able to file claims for that money through the court, according to CoStar News."
The city filed a lawsuit against the building's owner over building code violations in an effort to stabilize the structure.
In response to the city's legal action, a Cook County judge appointed CNR Advisors to serve as the receiver for the property.
CNR Advisors authorized the sale and hired CBRE brokers to put the property on the market.

Do you know anyone who was not going to vote but because one of the political parties held a rally in that person’s state has now decided to vote? In short, how much do political rallies impact voter turnout out and result?
Driving home from Nashville a few days ago, the wife wanted to stop in Franklin to do a bit of Christmas shopping. Obedient to her wishes as I am, I make the detour and park. As we strolled along the square, I see an older man sitting alone on a bench. Being the sort who initiates conversation with strangers, I say jokingly:
“You look like a man who is waiting for his wife while she spends his money.”
He gives me a wan smile and replies: “I wish I was.” His voice cracks. “She passed away last November.”
We stop. I extend a sympathetic hand. He shakes it and rises to greet us. Lauri asks him about his wife, and he tells us what a wonderful woman she was and of their 50 years of marriage. His eyes welling with tears, he says he comes to the square and sits on that bench daily to reminisce about her because it was their spot for decades. He seems glad to have someone, even strangers, with whom he can talk.
We chat a bit longer, exchange numbers, and I ask him if we can pray for him. A believer, he readily accepts the offer. So, right there on the square in Franklin we pray for the Lord’s comforting presence and peace in his loss. We open our eyes and, at that very moment, a woman walks by hurriedly and reaches for the bench behind this fellow. Only I see it, and I think she might be stealing his phone which he had left on the bench when he rose to speak with us.
I walk to the bench to investigate and see that she’s left a card, a little plastic dove glued on it, proclaiming the hope of John 3:16. I look up to see her far down the sidewalk, her brisk pace undiminished, placing them everywhere in her own evangelistic endeavor. God bless her for it.
Lauri and I wished our new friend well and proceeded to shop. I bought a new vest at her encouragement — “It looks good on you” — and she bought some aromatic candles — “cinnamon vanilla.” But all the while we were thinking of this man and the seemingly coincidental nature of our meeting. The Lord had used us to visibly encourage him.
I cannot tell you the number of times I have had such encounters simply because I spoke to a stranger: a taxi driver who told me someone had murdered his daughter; a waitress who cried when I told her she was doing a good job; a contractor who, just last week, revealed to me how the Lord had delivered him from meth addiction when I was sharing the Gospel with him; and a young woman who looked unsettled and I simply asked her what troubled her so.
There are people all around you who carry secret burdens, and the Lord puts you in their path for a reason. Do you notice them? Or do you press on to “more important” things? Pray that the Lord gives you eyes to see them and the heart to minister to them. It will do you as much good as you do them.
Two years ago, Biden said gallows were constructed on January 6th, 2021 to hang Mike Pence. I asked FBI Director Wray whether he’d arrested anyone in conjunction with those gallows, and whether, as I suspect, provocateurs were involved in building them.
Comiskey park was in bad shape. It had to be torn down. What would haave been better would a rdbuild of a traditional park like CAMDEN Yards. But this being IL, taxpayers were tapped meaning everyone had ti get their beaks wet. 5 yrs later the new park needed major repairs....
This is why the @ChicagoBears need to build in Hammond.
Comiskey Park under construction on Chicago's South Side in the spring of 1910 — a ballpark rising in steel and concrete on a former city dump at 35th Street and Shields Avenue, where White Sox owner Charles Comiskey was building the game a palace.
Comiskey hired architect Zachary Taylor Davis — who would design Wrigley Field four years later — and sent him touring the country's ballparks with pitcher Ed Walsh. Ground was broken on February 15, 1910, the cornerstone was laid on St. Patrick's Day, and the fireproof park went up in about four months despite a five-week steelworkers' strike, at a cost of $750,000 — a pitcher's park, 362 feet down the lines and 420 to center, exactly as Walsh wanted. It opened as White Sox Park on July 1, 1910, and the housewarming was spoiled: Barney Pelty of the St. Louis Browns threw a five-hitter to beat Walsh 2-0 before an official crowd of 24,900. Soon renamed for Comiskey and billed as the Baseball Palace of the World, the park then held 80 seasons of Chicago baseball: the 1917 World Series title, the 1919 Black Sox scandal, the first All-Star Game on July 6, 1933 — where Babe Ruth hit the first All-Star home run in a 4-2 American League win — night baseball's arrival on August 14, 1939, the 1959 pennant, Bill Veeck's exploding scoreboard in 1960, and Disco Demolition Night on July 12, 1979. The last of its 6,247 major-league games came on September 30, 1990, a 2-1 win over Seattle before 42,849 fans; demolished in 1991 as the oldest park in the majors, its home plate is now marked by a marble plaque in a parking lot across 35th Street from the new stadium.
⚾ Comiskey was still the oldest park in the majors when the wrecking ball came in 1991 — should it have been saved, the way Fenway Park and Wrigley Field were? 👇️

That said, I thinknwe'll rotate into companies that provide necessities. There are always iverbought sectors. I just don't see any crashes. We are still attracting foreign investment. The only caveat is the credit markets starting with CRE.
