Not a doomer. Just reality as I see it. Not blaming anyone, this took years in the making and I believe it was planned.

The supply lines of inputs into and exports of agriculture will be strained. Could be shortages and higher costs for food.
Energy supplies will be affected and costs will rise.
Everything that relies on energy rises in cost. Everything!

The EU, UK and other Western Nations will be seriously under pressure from WEF/Globalist policies. It is going to be very interesting to see if the level of unrest increase this year to the point of widespread violence. The West had a good 500+ year run. All civilizations reach their peak and fall.

I believe the AI/Data centers are not sustainable and there will be a reckoning. The circular financing and overbuilt situation without meaningful revenue has to hit at some point. How do these models make sense?
CBDC’s, Surveillance, cameras and all that is hitting fast and furious could come together later in the year for good or bad.
If CBDCs are introduced, they need servers to make the transactions, etc. Is this what the Data Centers will be used for when they go for pennies on the dollar?

IMHO I believe that a general mkt crash could usher in huge changes in wealth. Both ways. The Middle Class will get hit the most.
UBI will need to be implemented to support those wiped out with losses and increased daily living costs. A hybrid Socialist/Commie/Capitalist system will arise based upon where you are on the wealth scale.

Could a real floor of 3850 for Au and 55 for Ag be forming and it is just a matter of time before paper contracts are no longer valid and the inevitable happens? A quick crash is always possible if the General mkt goes down. Gold and Silver will always have real value for all the reasons we know.

If it doesn’t hit this year then next. Hope I am wrong.
