Shortages DO NOT Equal Scarcity

I promise that the next post will be optimistic.  Please consider this one to be a transition.

The Fauci Flu boogeyman is exiting stage-left.  Remarkably, the 'Science' changed overnight and all the Dems were mask-less at the SOTU.   They are now champions of freedom and are ending vax-pass.  (They are also the champions of Law-And-Order... but I'll cover that in Clown World).

The Great Reset folks and their Progressive 'elite' are determined to destroy the middle-class by 2030 and establish the world of Global Sheepdom.  "You will own nothing and you WILL be happy"

They used the Fauci Flu to crush small businesses and reduce millions of people to dependency.  If their lock-downs and mandates were truly well intentioned then we should now be back on the road to abundance and optimism.

But in the SOTU, Joe resurrected the existential threat of Climate Change.  The fear shall continue.

As I wrote in "The Perfect Storm" Scary Scarcity is next up and, thanks to Putin, they have Fearsome Fallout to distract us for a few months while they re-arrange the stage to create a global food crisis.

Food shortages will be used to create fear and anxiety.  They will blame it on Climate Change (or on Russia)  in an attempt to avoid public backlash and keep the Mass Psychosis theater churning.  The Sheep will believe.

BUT self-inflicted shortages are NOT the same as actual Scarcity.  In 2019:

• The United States was not merely energy independent... we were exporting energy
• We had the highest employment (in real absolute numbers) in history
• We enjoyed low inflation in spite of record high employment
• We had the lowest actual unemployment and the lowest welfare in 50 years
• The stores were stocked and everything was plentiful.
• People were optimistic  (I admit that Progressives were miserable, but I'm OK with that)

A little over a year ago there was a polar shift. Somehow, we went from global abundance to the perception of scarcity in a few short months.

There is a silver lining. The Progressives have no vision and no tools to mitigate the train wreck in time for the mid-terms.  All they have is deflection and propaganda and I don't believe that will save them.
