Lots of labor, less and less participation. US labor force participation hit 62.2% in July 2025, its lowest since November 2022, amid ongoing multi-month declines. This is serious

The Problems I see on the Horizon

  1. Fewer workers shrink the payroll tax base, funding Social Security and Medicare.

  2. Aging population means more seniors depend on a diminishing workforce for benefits. Birth rate is toast.

  3. Many depend on the gig economy, but Tesla's new Robotaxi will disrupt gig driving roles.

  4. Meanwhile, Jerome Powell says the job market is solid.... well, Financial Times this morning said nobody believes him anymore... well, I never did.

I just retired this year on my 60th birthday thanks to crypto. I was so far behind 3 years ago I took the chance. Hallelujah.

Anyways, I get several calls a day from headhunters. I think people need to specialize. Bring back Voc Tech.

Well, you send all the foreign workers back to where they came from, and/or chase them out of the country by your friendly policies and border controls /s, so this is what you get... The American dream can be found elsewhere, especially in Asia.

JP is a puppet of the deepest of deep state organisations, the FED, it’s just that we are all waking up now.

In future Bot backed economy, Governments will tax the Bot owners

This is concerning yes. I would say TSLA needs to accelerate the ramp of Optimus in 2026 to send an economic bat signal.

As Raoul Pal points out, the debt is rising at the same pace that the workforce is shrinking. This is good for Bitcoin. But are you really getting a shrinking tax base when corporate profit margins are expanding so rapidly from AI? The tax base is just shifting from people to corporations and soon to robots which will pay the taxes humans cannot. The question should be how fast can AI and robotics expand the tax base. Exponentially!

The Tariffs Will Accidentally Contribute to the Next Bull Run So here’s the playbook, folks: 2025 Tariffs Go Brrrr 💸 Treasury cranks tariffs toward $500B a year. Politicians: “We’re making China pay!” Liars 🤣 Reality: You’re paying extra for your Costco shrimp platter. 🦐 Fed Plays Hard to Get Powell: “Economy strong, inflation sticky. No cuts yet.” Translation: “Enjoy paying 20% more for iPhones, peasants.” Consumers Cry Uncle Tariffs bite → stuff costs more → demand softens. Businesses squeezed harder than yr tight ass jeans after Thanksgiving. Fed Finally Caves Late 2025 into 2026: cuts start dripping in. By mid-2026 we’re swimming in liquidity like Scrooge McDuck. Bull Run Ignites 🚀 S&P aiming 6,500–7,200. Bitcoin sniffing $150K–200K. TSLA/NVDA/MSTR moon-walking like it’s Thriller. Mid-2026 Peak Warning 🚨 DXY starts creeping up. Everyone’s Uber driver is shilling altcoins again. Euphoria smells thicker than Axe body spray at a high-school dance. 2027: Bear Market Rehearsal 🐻 Liquidity fades, growth slows. Party’s over. Everyone realizes tariffs were just a giant hidden tax. TL;DR: Buy dips till mid-2026, ride the liquidity wave, watch DXY + sentiment for the top… then get out before 2027 turns into the hangover. 💪🏻 This is what I have my eye on

It was crazy listening to my extended boomer family members discuss their ever increasing portfolios this past weekend. Do they even understand the benefit they had from demographics? 🤮

Abolish the payroll tax and capital gains tax, roll them into standard income tax. Convert the Social security tax from a regressive tax to a progressive tax. Convert the Medicare tax from a flat tax to a progressive tax. Funding fixed in 2 seconds.
