  • What I find interesting in the Household ‘Employment’ Survey is the number of people going back into the workforce.  I am left to wonder if the ICE removals are starting to create employer driven incentives, increased wages etc. that seem to be pulling sidelined workers back to the labor market.

Now think of trumps post yesterday, where Trump is pushing Canada into Chinas arms, this will allow him to exit the USMCA

  •   a receipt. The seat was the value.
  • You held the paper because you couldn’t carry the chair home.
  • Then, the management noticed something interesting.
  • People outside were trading tickets like currency
  • . “I’ll give you two tickets for your watch.”
  • “I’ll give you five tickets for your bike.”
  • They realized that people trusted the paper more than they checked the stadium.
  • So, the management got greedy.
  • They started printing extra tickets for seats that didn’t exist. They sold 100,000 tickets. Then 500,000 tickets. Then 1,000,000 tickets.
  • They became billionaires selling claims to a game that was already sold out.
  • Then, one day, it happened. Foreign ticket holders rushed the gates. They wanted their seats.
  • The management didn’t have them. So they did something historic.
  • They locked the turnstiles.
  • They announced on the loudspeakers: “We are no longer exchanging tickets for seats. The ticket is the value now.”
  • This actually happened. The Stadium is the Bank. The Seat is Gold.
  • The Ticket is the US Dollar. For years, $35 was a guaranteed receipt for 1 ounce of Gold. The paper was just a claim check. But the US government printed more Dollars than they had Gold.
  • When other countries (like France) got suspicious and asked for their Gold back?
  • President Nixon locked the turnstiles. In 1971, he “closed the Gold window.”
  • He told the world: The Dollar is no longer a claim on Gold. It is the money.
  • Today, there are trillions of “tickets” floating around. But the amount of Gold hasn’t changed.
  • That is why the price of everything keeps going up. It’s not that the seats are getting more expensive.
  • It’s that your ticket is worth less. You are saving in paper tickets. While the rich are buying the stadium.
