Thanks for your insight into our financial cycles.Here in New Zealand our left wing Maori partnership is trying to wreck the world's best country and make us all evenly poor,thank goodness the public is finally waking up to this bloodless coup,Jacinda Ardern is another lying Trudeau and headed for that other corrupt world institution the U.N.
I very much like your writing Joel ,and the pendulum watch is perfect. Without the government the pendulum would only have a short swing , it is our tax and spend politicians that cause the wild and destructive fluctuations . When 50% of your money goes to taxes we are in trouble. Thanks to
Bill, Tom, Dan and Joel Great job of helping me understand the mayhem of today . Stephen Denomme
I worked for Hewlett Packard in the 60's......Dave Packard became the Undersecretary of Defense. He put all his stock assets in a trust. He was gone about 3 years from HP, without pay, and came back and said that the Federal Government was too much of a bureaucracy to get anything done! He also liquidated his 'profits' in stock assets while he was working for the Dept. of Defense. If all politicians did this, we'd all be better off since they would truly be working for the people!
Joel, another excellent portrayal of the predicament contemporary AmeriKa and the world are in. Look forward with trepidation to Part II. May the cycles be with you, but just in case find solace at your favorite watering holes. Dave
Sorry you don’t believe in the omnipotent Operator. We all, as in every single person, without exception takes one side or the other of Pascal’s wager. I do enjoy your writing but followed to the end, don’t you think it leads to emptiness and despair?
We all need hope. The Bible foretold events that would signal that Gods Kingdom (heavenly government) is about to begin its rule over all the earth. Present world conditions match what the Bible foretold. The evidence is all there for the humble , open-minded, unprejudiced ones to examine or reject. Read how homelessness, unemployment & poverty , injustice, malnutrition & hunger, crime & violence, damage to the environment, war, sickness, disease and even the “last enemy “ death will be no more under this heavenly rulership. Only God has the ability to foretell this future; only God has the power to achieve this. It’s comforting to know that so far in mankind’s history, everything that has ever been foretold in His Word has come true so far. Nothing can stop the Creator of the earth from fulfilling his promises when he is ready. Remember a “day “to him is as a thousand years. So it’s not been a long time (to him) since the whole world became “lying in the power of the wicked one” He wants to help us because he is love. We can raise up our heads The time for real justice is now nearly here for people in EVERY nation. The earth will become a global paradise for humans to enjoy & inhabit, as God originally intended! Too good to be true? I used to be a proud, close-minded, prejudiced, atheist. I was also a lawyer. So felt compelled to examine ALL the evidence first before dismissing it! Maybe one or two on here might like to do the same ? It takes time of course, to sift all the evidence , and it takes a degree of humility to admit if we might have been wrong on a few assumptions and untruths maybe drilled into us since childhood once previously unknown evidence is revealed? But it’s worth the journey. One Bible writer compared this hope (of the rulership of Gods Kingdom government) as an “anchor for the soul”. I, personally, have found that to be so true. Just like an anchor keeps a ship steady during a storm, this solid hope for the future helps me weather all my problems. It protects my emotional and mental stability, and my physical well-being in spite of my great age!
So, Here’s a start for anyone out there who , like me, many years ago had lost all hope in the governmental systems of this chaotic world: https://www.jw.org /en/library/series/more-topics/real-hope-future-bible-promises/
May I wish you ,Joel , a peaceful and healthy 2023 I enjoy your articles very much.
I remember being in BA in 1988 and the austral currency was 7 to 1 to the USD. My hotel bill went up every day in local currency and stayed the same in dollars. The austral subsequently hyper inflated and was replaced by the peso which was pegged to the dollar at par. That didn’t last because the government couldn’t pay its bills without being able to print up money.
I have noticed a growing unease over the last few years up here in The Great White North. COVID aside, I have a feeling that there has been a disturbance in "The Force." Looking for a seat belt to buckle up for the bumpy ride ahead.
Wow. Joel you have raised the bar to new all time highs. Bravo. I can't wait to read the rest.
In the meantime, it would be a shame to have to choose between Betty or Veronica (when it's so easy to love and appreciate them both). Either way you win, since they are both so comely in their own way.
In the meantime, I'd like to get rich and vote in the opposite of the lumpinvestoriat who believe the mainstream media. Sure, deficits don't matter, and Bernanke should get the Nobel prize.

Bitcoin/blockchain is the epitome of decentralization.
Consistently Excellent.

Good luck to one and all.
A beautifully written, near poetic description of our cyclic dilemma. And no bogeyman, no 'forces of history' either. It's us
And Mr. Bowman, foie gras ? A most cruelly derived delicacy.
It's always us.
My: my: so much truth at one time. I agree with this Sunday's sermon.

Yes Joel, sounds like America is the new Bernie Madoff...same story and i'm sure outcome...
