by Mark Nestmann: Over the years, we haven’t shied away from highlighting the threat to our privacy that our hyper-connected world poses.

From Charles Hugh Smith: When the system can’t borrow more and distribute the insolvency, it implodes. I started writing about debt saturation back in 2011.

April 18, 2022 | Savers from 18 to 85 Are Getting Totally Screwed
The Fed has been screwing savors for decades – but with inflation at 8.5% and rising, now it’s a real negative-yield bloodbath. Savers use to get 5% or 6% in a Certificate of Deposit 20 years ago. With a $1 million, you could make $50,000 to $60,000 in interest per year without touching the […]

April 17, 2022 | Musk Should Conserve His Ammo
For many of us, as pleasurable as it might be to picture Twitter in the hands of Elon Musk, and to imagine a despairing Jack Dorsey committing seppuku, Musk should save his billions for more useful purposes.

April 15, 2022 | Yes, It Is Different This Time
From Charles Hugh Smith at Of Two Minds: Most people would be horrified by a 40% decline in their “investments.” When bubbles pop, speculative assets don’t drop 40%, they drop 90% or even 98%.
