Economic times aren't so rosy for all of us. Glad they are for you.

But isn't that true all the time?

Has there ever been a period of history where 100% of the people had rosy economic times? It's the nature of the beast isn't it?

Who knew about Comey, the Russians and that weirdo hiding from a rape charge in an embassy? Are there other countries where the candidate with less votes is the winner?

The truth...people need to study the stats. the US is in the worst shape it has ever been not counting the 2008 issue and the great depression. It has been going downhill since the early 80's and Reagan. The top 1 percent has seen most of the economic gains. Elizabeth Warren's new book is dead on and she discusses the subject at length.

can you give us a synopsis of this book and explain why the US is going downhill? seems to me there are many people who would otherwise have been without opportunity or disenfranchised who are thriving here - people of color, those with physical handicaps....we have so many "dreamers", too. is there something we should tell them - that their dreams are shot to hell?

It's actually manual on how to survive the impending collapse & depression by living off the land, building huts, hunting with bows & how to understand the metrics of the new wampum economy.
