This series on the History of American Oligarchy from Historical Detective Agency is really good. Part 1 goes into Panama as a major turning point. image
This is very true. When you go to El Salvador and start to get to know the expats, usually canadian or european, you find how much "The Sovereign Individual" has influenced their thinking and if/when you say anything positive about America they tend to say, "I think America is just an idea". Implying they are pursuing "America". You might give them the benefit of the doubt on that statement, part ways and walk back to your Airbnb in El Zonte and on the way cross paths with 3 militarized police with probably automatic weapons hanging down their chests. I always say "hola" because they usually don't seem to like that. Once I received a nodding grin with just a hint of squinting sadism. But another time I walked past one near the beach, said "hola", he was startled by that, and as I passed him with my back to him he started fidgeting with the hardware on his gun so I could hear it. The people telling you El Salvador is some new idea of America don't know what America is. It's Latin American Singapore at best, not to say that's a bad thing for them. Then you eat dinner in San Benito, see a giant traffic jam form and someone in it decides to lay on the horn like they are Moses parting the traffic. Then you wonder if that was the guy with the automatic rifle. lol View quoted note →

Jimmy Kimmel getting fired gives me hope
Big similarities to summer/fall 2020 for Bitcoin. Up in July and into August, down for september. 2020 consolidated above 10k, 2025 consolidating above 100k. Everyone was expecting fed to lower rates so I think they get their bull liquidity swiped then the bull move sets in later. image
image CHEAPCOINZ PLZZ!1! fed announces 25 basis points lower or whatever. "sell the news" prolly cause so many people expect things to shoot higher the liquidity is prolly gonna get swiped below here. my guess anyways.
