Things are going wacky in the markets.
The only one that is not crashing one day, and spiking the next is food.
Wheat berries are 4x as much as they were just a few years ago. Further, their price may be being suppressed to not let the public know that we aren't growing enough wheat for current demand. In the future, there will be a time when bread is no longer on the shelves. Hard to imagine, in one of the countries that provides wheat to the world. But it is coming.
At minimum, we are shipping more wheat then we are currently growing to other nations, especially China. And this ends with not enough left in America.
I use wheat because it is near and dear to my bread making, however there indicators that all areas of food production is in trouble. We are seeing the price of beef continue going up faster than already fast rising food prices.
At the same time, the housing market is crashing, and the stock market is going full on insane gambling mode.
Food IS the best bet for future growth.
People watching the housing market are seeing buyers disappear, and those people who need to sell their houses are taking huge cuts to get mere nibbles from buyers. People who bought the last phase of a housing development paid more than those buying the current phase. And this is with material prices continuing to rise.
Demographics is already affecting the market, and we haven't even gotten past boomers retiring yet. But, with boomers moving into care facilities or mortuary plots soon, the housing market will continue to fall.
Along with bank closures (no mortgages) and monetary crashes, house prices just go down. Everyone will notice the empty houses everywhere. Empty because nobody wants them. You can't sell something nobody is willing to buy.
The stock market is only going up because of money printing. And the stock market is only staying open because they are ignoring the fraud. Soooo, money printing is going to stop, as the The FRN dies. The fraud is going to stop when people realize that they are buying an empty promise. And then… the stock market is no more.
Sure they will try to resurrect it with putting all the stocks on the blockchain, but that is just a bandage. The corruption in all the large corporations is what will see all the stocks and the market along with it, crumble, fall over, and turn to dust.
We are playing a game of musical chairs, and when the music stops, we will find that there is only one chair left, and it is filled with a fat bankster. The banksters will shout that they own all the stock. Then, we will give them some rope.
There will be no stock market in 50 years.
Food is already becoming scarce. And only, on-the-fringes UTube commentators are reporting on it. MSmockingbirdM is completely ignoring the biggest problem of our life.
We have nefarious actors and wasteful consumers and bad farming practices AND AN ICE-AGE all simultaneously happening.
The nefarious actors want to control the people through limiting food supplies. They should all be rounded up and shot. But, many people think they are helping with their printed meat and bugz.
Long ago, in the before time, like the age of our grand parents. All of the scraps, all of the wilting vegetables, all of that went into the pigs and chickens. What remained went into mulch piles, creating better soil. We did not have a society/economy which threw out so much packaging and uneaten food. What will we do when food suddenly becomes scarce?
Our current farming practices is to use chemical fertilizers. And, our farm's soils are all depleted because we haven't put any real nourishment back in. So, these fields are failing. The crops are yielding less each year. Add on top of this an ice-age with shorter, harsher growing seasons, and you end up with famine conditions.
Everyone should be listening to Joel Salatin
On Polyface Farms Joel is using Regenerative Agriculture. Using ruminants (cows, goats, sheep) with controlled grazing to naturally spread shit everywhere, i mean, fertilize the fields. And with other things, like making compost tea, cover crops, water control, no-till farming, has made the soils on his farm MUCH richer.
Joel is improving the crop yields on his farm, while most factory farms are about to become wastelands. And there is no reason all the farmers can't be doing this, except the nefarious actors saying we have done it this way forever (which is a lie, those same nefarious actors got farmers to switch to chemical fertilizers less than a century ago.
Organic farmers and permaculture farmers are looking at the actual soil ecosystem. Making sure the nutrients are there and the good microbes are in abundance. They are getting incredible yields, of much more nutritious vegetables, in smaller areas, with less water.
This is the way of the future. And there will be great improvements like electroculture and playing good music for your plants. And pre-energizing the seeds. And there will be more, truly weird things that we find greatly improves growth and yield.
Food is going WAY up in PRICE! The ROI on stored food will beat the stock market and the housing market.
And unlike gold, and other "assets", you CAN eat it. It will save your life. Because nefarious actors and bad weather are going to make food scarce.
Real estate is dead, as a market. As demographics goes, so does the market. And people will not be able to live in shitty stick constructed boxes any longer.
The Stock Market is a blight on humanity. We just do not realize how bad it has been. We think that buying and selling companies is just a normal thing. But it is not, and we will LEARN that. We also haven't realized, because it is never taught in schools, that corporations are evil. Just the structure that externalizes costs and internalizes profits.
The corporations behind the stocks will be gone. The corrupt market that trades those stocks will be gone. The financial system that existed to support those will be gone.
What will not be gone is people growing their own food in their own greenhouses.
