QUESTION: Marty, are you still in Asia because you wanted to miss this early snowstorm?

Pete

ANSWER: No, the crisis is Asia has capital in a state of concerned. Because of the problems in Hong Kong, there remain major concerns not just about the peg, but the future of Hong Kong. As I have said, we have 3 offices in Asia and clients on every side of this issue with questions.

I moved to Florida because (1) it was going to get much colder, (2) my lawyer told me to tell my family if I died in New Jersey, make sure my family dragged my body across the state border before they told anyone, and (3) my accountant made we swear in blood to get out of the state before it was too late.

As far as the cold is concerned, AccuWeather said this is definitely a “massive size and intensity of this snowstorm is unheard of for October…” I do not do well in cold and having to shovel my way out of a house. Civilization always expands with warm weather and contracts with cold.

As far as population migration is concerned, the #1 state people are fleeing from in New York. Also, Connecticut and Illinois are not far behind. According to recently released data from the US Census, about 38,000 more people left California than entered it in 2018. This is the second straight year that migration to the state was negative, and it’s a trend that is speeding up. Every year since 2014, net migration has fallen.

The interesting thing is as revenues decline in these state, they raise taxes and enforcement to make up the short-fall which in turn then send more people out. If a retail store sees a recession and sales decline, they run a sale to entice people to buy. The government is incapable of proper management. This is like a recession comes so the store doubles its prices to make up for the decline in prices. Dah

The internet reshaped the retail consumer world by eliminating many small stores and forcing big stores to close locations as online shopping exploded. Many small book stores and camera stores were particularly vulnerable. Now climate change is having a similar impact.

The strike with the United Auto Workers’ (UAW) and General Motors is not so much about pay raises. Instead, UAW members are deeply concerned that climate change and electric cars mean less employment. Most other automakers have come to the realization that the internal combustion engine will be replaced by electric vehicles. Exactly how fast, it is hard to say for it also depends on the political rhetoric to win an election.

Electric cars come with fewer parts, which means fewer people are needed for assembly and they are more prone to be produced by robots than combustion engines. Hence, the UAW is more concerned about losing jobs, not the pay increases

COMMENT: Dear Marty,
in your blog today you write that politicians state we have allegedly only 12 years to live.
Please see this picture of the most read German yellow press paper „Bild“. They stated on front page of February 23rd, 2007: „Secret Climate Report: We have only 13 years left to save the earth!“
This comes due next year. If it were not about all the fear they are mongering I would call it ridiculous.
Kind regards,
MS from Germany

ANSWER: The number of forecasts they have made that NEVER come true are just amazing, and yet the press loves to project these people as infallible. They are absolutely stupid for they do not even realize that they are being manipulated as a tool to remove their own freedom.

These reports are always “secret” to not panic the public. But that is to hide the fact that they are really trying to make sure the truth does not surface.

This is like handing a person a loaded gun who has no idea what it is or what to do with it. They will be lucky if they do not kill themselves since they do not understand what it even does.
