Germany's Green Farce Drills A Deeper Recessionary Hole

Germany's economy is teetering on the brink, with projections of a 0.2% contraction in 2024 masking a far grimmer reality. This forecast, artificially propped up by government-induced demand, is but a thin veil over an economic abyss.

The "Green New Deal," the EU's latest economic panacea, is nothing more than a repackaged Keynesian fever dream, presented with a pseudo-religious set of narratives and infantile symbolism to nuge (or kick) the herd into the direction tje central planners need them. It's a desperate attempt to fill the vacuum left by genuine growth - a void created by the cancerous expansion of state interventionism, bureaucracy, and taxation that now consumes over 50% of the EU's economic output.

In a tragicomic display of economic illiteracy, policymakers are doubling down on the very poison that's killing the patient. They're prescribing more state control, more regulations, and more artificial demand stimulation, expecting different results from the same failed formula.

The regulatory apocalypse continues unabated. Each new rule, each new "green" initiative, is another nail in the coffin of German industry. The once-mighty economic engine of Europe is being strangled by a web of red tape, all in the name of a climate crusade that seems more interested in control than actual environmental progress.

Meanwhile, the migration crisis rages on, unchecked and unmitigated, adding further strain to an already buckling system. Social costs are exploding, yet the solution seems to be more of the same - more spending, more debt, more delusion.

As Germany stumbles blindly down this path, the cynics among us can't help but wonder: Is this incompetence, or is there method to this madness? Are we witnessing the death throes of a system that's outlived its usefulness, desperately clinging to relevance through increasingly absurd interventions?

One thing's for certain - this economic Titanic is headed for an iceberg, and the band plays on. The question isn't if it will hit, but how spectacular the crash will be.

Cashew isn’t a seed, its closer to a nut. Technically Its a drupe which is a type of fruit.

Plants have developed clever ways to disseminate their “offspring” and fruits nuts and seeds are vastly different in this regard.

Oily Fruits like olives & avocados are tasty to get animals to help disperse them. Nuts are technically fruits so same kinda method.

Seeds on the other hand are VERY different. They use toxins to discourage animals from foraging them. Some Birds have adapted but mammals generally haven’t.

Manufacturers then use detergents to neutralize and remove the bad tasting toxins (bitter) and they also boil the seeds to reduce the oil out further damaging the oil. Cold pressed flax is good for example but it’s expensive to produce in large quantities so larger companies that need a cheap filler buy things like canola oil instead because its cheap and people don don’t immediately get sick from it. Its a double whammy though. Firstly its rancid already from heating it AND its got many toxins that cause inflammation.

No oil is good for you after its been heated past its smoke point but the delicate fats (omega-9) in seeds are damaged from any heat.

As a general rule cook with omega 3 and as the temperature goes down, use omega 6 and avoid eating a lot of omega 9.

Heres an example: Smaller quantities of sunflower are okay because they’re loaded with other nutrients and minerals that are hard to get in our diet but don’t heat them, -just eat raw. If the seed came from a fruit like a pumpkin or sesame fruit you’re good to eat more of them just remember that heating them fucks the oil up.

Tldr:

DO NOT EAT CANOLA OIL.

Its not food.

Prior to 1991 it was primarily used an industrial lubricant & biodiesel.

(They renamed it Canola (from Rapeseed) lobbied the FDA (bribed) and started feeding it to people to save money.

You’re not a Bitcoiner until you…

Buy Bitcoin.

But then you’re like wait, I need to get these coins off the exchange.

So you get a hardware wallet.

But then you’re like wait, this is a ledger.

So you get a cold card.

But then you’re like wait, it isn’t using a passphrase.

So you use a passphrase.

But then you’re like wait this isn’t multisig and multisig would be better.

So you buy 4 more coldcards and set up a multisig.

But then you’re like wait I can’t just do coldcards I have to guard against supply chain attacks.

So you buy a ledger again and probably a bitbox too.

But then you’re like wait, I haven’t geographically distributed these.

So you disperse them throughout the country.

But then you’re like wait, what about jurisdictional risk?

So you disperse them to multiple countries.

But then you’re like wait, what if I was tracked as I was placing the hardware wallets?

So you…

There’s actually no end.

It just keeps going like that forever.

Congrats you’re a Bitcoiner now lol 😂

Yeah he just did one yesterday. Great take on the war and why they need us in one

You have a similar listening palette. Are you familiar with Tom Luango?

Hes on TFTC. So good

Such a great episode.

A brief update on...

- US Net Liquidity (top blue line): Still chopping sideways since April 2022.

OPINION #1: US based assets (think micro/small/mid-cap stocks) are likely to continue to chop sideways until US net liquidity momentum moves decidedly higher.

- Global M2 monetary supply (approximate, lower blue line): This has decisively broken higher over the past several months and is unlikely to contract meaningfully in the coming 12 months or so.

OPINION #2: This upside breakout of global M2 bodes well for the price action of global assets like #bitcoin, #gold, and US megacap technology stocks.

Just my opinions, of course.

Damn. A lot of #Bitcoin switched

hands over the last several months.

France's Debt Problem Hints At Serious Problems In The Eurozone

France provides the blueprint for fiscal policy and the completely unrealistic forecasts within the eurozone. The same applies to the growth forecasts, which always overstate the potential growth. If you reduce economic output by the state sector, which is merely a consumer and not a producer, the eurozone presents a devastating overall economic picture - if you now add the fact that all countries are in a serious demographic crisis, the orgy of debt is likely to accelerate.
