| By Bill Bonner Monday, December 14, 2020 Bows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air – Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell WEST RIVER, MARYLAND – In the news this morning comes word that this is “make or break” week for the checks. Said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on Sunday: I am very hopeful that, next week, we will be able to act on substantial relief. Added Donald Trump: Right now, I want to see checks – for more money than they’re talking about – going to people. America has become a divided country, with the two parts separated by which castles they see in the air… and how much “relief” they get here on the ground. Billionaires have added $1 trillion to their wealth – a 25% increase – thanks to the feds’ relief measures this year. Others have gotten much more modest sums. Over the weekend, we saw both sides. | Recommended Link | GET THE NAME OF JEFF BROWN'S #1 PRIVATE BIOTECH FREE During The Cure Event, Jeff Brown revealed the name of his #1 private biotech company for FREE.

Some of their descendants are still here… including your editor. Some still speak the way they did 300 years ago, a dialect derived from 17th-century England. We don’t hear it very often; there aren’t many people who still have the old tidewater accent. We lost it many years ago, when we went away to college. But we can retrieve it when we need to. To talk to the old-timers, for example. Talk like that with anyone else, and they just think you are stupid. But a cousin, a logger, came to visit on Saturday. It was a pleasure to chat with him. What is the "1170" Investment Account? (We try to reproduce the local dialect here, simply because it is vanishing fast. Considered by linguists to be a “southern” accent, it has its own peculiar cadence, rhythm, and vocabulary.) “Yeah […] idn doin’ so good. He’s got so fat. He bin drivin’ that truck fo’ the las’ fify yeahrs. Iz the onliest thing he does. Now, the truck move right well… but he kin bahrely move hiself.” “That’s a shame. But I guess it happens… sittin’ in a truck all day.” “And [… ] He sold that fahrm on Route 2… moved back to his fahtha’s place. Think he’s livin’ in a trailer deyah.” “Yeyah… thas what I huhrd, too. But he was getting’ a li’ul strange… you know, with a long, white beard.” “Yeah… but I haven’t seen ‘im in a wile. I don’t see much of anybody. Iowno what happened to them. Guess, they eeva retired and moved off somewaya… or they died… “I bin here all my life, but I doan know anybody any moah. All these people wuhk in Washnton. Or they preten to wuhk. “I can’t find anybody to help cut the trees. They say theya’s all this unemployment… but I’m not seein’ it. Nobody wahnz to wuhk heeya anymo. “And I can’t blame ‘em. This kind a wuhk is the most dangrous wuhk there is. Ever maunin, I tell the crew… ‘We got six men goin’ out… I want six men comin’ home.’” He laughed… | Recommended Link | Up to $274,441 Trading Just 1 Stock? || SHOW ME » According to Jeff Clark… A former $200 million money manager… One stock on this list could have handed you a total of $273,441 on just a handful of trades… But he says most folks will gloss right over it… | | | | “And we doan wanna leave no body pahts in the woods, neeva. “You know, I used to bring up some crews of the Amish from Chahrles county.

You cut your notch [to make the tree fall in a given direction]… then you cut on the uhva side. And nuthin’ happens.

But I figure iz no wurse than the flu. Iz prolly gonna kill us… but somethin’s gotta kill us.” “An now, theya gonna give ehvabody that vaccine. An ehvabody gonna think they bin cured. An the sickness gonna go away, just like it always does. I’m not gonna take no damned vaccine created by the guvmint.” Viral: 1.3 Million Folks have Already Seen This Message. Back Order Later that day, we went over to have dinner with old friends in “Washnton.” This was a whole different world. Driving around the beltway, through Northern Virginia, we saw sleek new office buildings, new apartment houses, new highways, and new malls. And different angel hair. But we’ll let our friends tell the story. “This town is crazy. There was never any recession here. House prices just kept going up. Shops were always full. People just kept getting their checks. The government didn’t lay anyone off. But they didn’t have to go to work. So they went to Home Depot. “No kidding. I’ve been over there a couple times in the last few months. It’s packed. I was trying to get a new refrigerator. But you can’t get a refrigerator… they’re all on back order. “Everybody is fixing up their houses. They’re at home all day and they notice improvements that they want to make. “And in addition to their regular salaries, they got that extra $1,200… and some of them thought they didn’t have to pay their rent. There’s just so much money around. Everything is back-ordered. | Recommended Link | | These weird devices are about to appear all over America
According to America's top tech futurist – dubbed the "Tech Prophet" by Forbes – millions of these strange little devices are about to appear in every corner of our country… including your home. What are they? And why did one tech insider with connections to Apple and Microsoft claim they'll "rewrite the rules of what's possible?" | | | -- | “I know my stocks are doing great. When the crash came in March, I just stuck with what I have. I knew there was no way the Federal Reserve was going to allow investors to lose so much money. And it didn’t. It just printed up the money it needed. And my stocks are up some 400%. It’s unbelievable. “But the feds were right to intervene. Can you imagine what a mess the economy – and the whole country – would be in if they hadn’t? I know you don’t approve. But in the modern world, you can’t have millions of people without jobs. It would be a disaster. “But I’m so glad the election is over. And I’m so glad Trump lost. Can you imagine another four years with him in the White House? “One good thing he did, though, was to get that Operation Warp Speed going. You could say that the government caused the economy to collapse by shutting everything down. But what choice did it have? And it looks like the feds are now going to save the economy, too. I know I’m going to take the vaccine as soon as I can. “Then, I think we’ll start to get back to normal.” Regards, Bill

MAILBAG In today’s mailbag, one dear reader questions what science is… and another calls out politics’ “fake science”… I find it interesting that we are talking about “science” as if it were an answer. I’ve always been told that true science is a question, not an answer, as things are always changing. I think it would be interesting to see how fast our entire society would figure things out if we were told, “There will be no bailout; figure it out.” – Patrick F. The biggest fake science is that Donny thinks he won the election. Crazy Donnie and his cult/mob refuse to accept the certified results by Republican electors. Another huge fake science is: If we cut taxes for the rich and businesses, it will drive the economy positively. As we can see, it works just the opposite. If you put money in the hands of middle- and low-income earners, they will spend the money and spur the economy. Even Walmart figured that out. If minimum wages are too low, people can’t buy products. It is too bad we have so many people who spew their fake economics. – Kenneth D. Meanwhile another dear reader believes Bill is fixated on fake money… The last time I checked, Jack was able to pay his electric bill… Mary could feed her children… and Harry could pay his rent with this fake money. I know that fake money can have negative consequences in the future, but what do you tell Jack, Mary, and Harry, who are trying to survive during this crisis? – Larry W. Is trickle-down economics “fake,” as Patrick believes? Would society figure out its financial issues if there were no bailouts, as Patrick suggests? Write us at feedback@rogueeconomics.com.
