If you've been following this website for some time, you probably remember the work we did in 2020, reporting on Covid, lockdowns and other related events. Many readers told me that the research I presented helped them to be far better prepared. I've always had a knack for noticing patterns and using them to make educated predictions.

I've mentioned several times lately that we're facing hard economic times, but recent research has caused me to believe it's going to be even harder than we expected.

I would like to begin this report by specifying that it is non-political in nature. If we wanted to play the blame game, we could point fingers at presidential administrations for the past fifty years. Democrats and Republicans have both made some terrible decisions that have led us to where we are right now.

Current decisions will absolutely make things worse. My hope is that it is short-term pain for long-term gain. Changes had to be made, but we are going to feel the repercussions of it, some of us brutally. This doesn't mean that I hate Trump or that I'm defending Trump. I'm presenting facts, not feelings

First, we'll do a brief overview of global economic circumstances to make sure we're all singing from the same songbook. Then, I'll provide a list of things to expect over the next few months (or longer) so that we can be ready when they happen. Finally, I'll be providing an article tomorrow on how to prepare for all this once we have the setting of our looming catastrophe in place.
