The Mcdonalization of the U.S economy - are you prepared?
​
We are turning would-be homeowners of yesterday into tenants.
We've raised the cost of middleclass entry through education cost for jobs paying less.
Pensions, healthcare, benefits, all shaved down - fastfood.
Politicians will say they right things, flags will wave.
But behind the curtain there is a different reality.
Less for more is the theme playing out.
This is the Mcdonalization I talk about.
Money printing papering over a structurally / demographically weakening economy is part of the theme.
Equities, real estate and hard-money, like Gold and Bitcoin rises to the tune of the ensuing money inflation, like a numerator keeping up with its denominator.
​
This splits the population between asset holders who enjoy "inflation compensation" versus the majority only relying on a paycheck, that cannot quit keep up. Inflation or rather "erosion in the money supply" - break societies by sowing discord through wealth disparity.
We can assume that inflation in the money supply is here to stay - because the government don't have a choice and because it is politically the most expedient way of inflating debt away.
Of course there is no free lunch - so who will pay?
The bill will be paid by an ongoing "Mcdonalization" of the American middleclass, experienced as a slowly closing gap between income and expenses.
How well you understand the game playing out - from 10,000 ft - will dictate how well you can navigate it.
