anyway:
Peddling FUD because he wants people to share his anxiety of the future is a coping mechanism. I dont recommend people looking at that stuff, be a little more present in life. Theres a big market for FUD, im just not buying, and if you need it to feel prepared theres tons of it to find on your own.

The last time i saw him "weened off the koolaid" was not being able to make it on the 4th floor, for lack of a better phrase. I know its more complicated than than, but what a remarkable turn.

I have a passion for reading, investing, financial independence and 24hr+ layovers in nice cities/islands, not cubicle life on Virginia Ave.
As far as FUD, there is a Tsunami coming and you're telling people on the Beach to just look away. Brilliant. We'll find out shortly how that works out

Not saying Albert's statement is "gleeful", but certainly one could imagine a not-insignificant number of people (including US citizens) salivating at the idea of a crisis.

this guy gets it. the 70s and associated interest rates were tough. really tough. im prepared being long uso (since $80) and heavily in cash (mainly due a tripling of my heavy amd position the past year) however, it won’t be the epic disaster some have predicted and seem to be gleeful for to finally tell the world that they were right (imo).

The debate is not whether the glass is half empty or full when it's clearly nearly empty.
5+5 is clearly 10 but folks on here are trying to say no it's 12 because Trip7 was wrong about TA1
Lastly, if you're saying the 70s was really really tough but not an epic disaster well you and plenty of experts having a differing opinion on what's an epic disaster:
Could take 6 Months to Clear Mines according to the Pentagon.
2-3 Months to Clear Storage and Reroute Tankers.3+ Months to Repair Infrastructure and Reactivate Facilities.
The extent of infrastructure damage is not fully understood or potentially even “over”.

Thye quote about recovery being long is where we disagree. Once the shooting war is done and there is peace it is in the entire planets interest to pitch in to help the recovery. Our allies WILL send minesweepers, the gulf oil states WILL step in to cooperate in the oil supplies returning to market, China WILL send proxies to help in their own interest to keep imports flowing. etc.
The recovery for jet fuel and diesel will be 12m+. Complex Refineries around the world that produce high yields of jet fuel and diesel aren't grown on trees. It will take several months just to get the trapped medium sour crude oil out of the middle east, let alone getting those tankers returned to normal traffic flow.
We'll get thru this. But like the 70s, it will be a tough tough tough few years. We are already past the breaking point in the Oil market.
