Nowhere near collapse. I guess Orlov and others have a few more decades to talk amount the imminent collapse of the U.S.
It is so obvious for anyone who actually gets out of their house and look around that people are spending money in the U.S. Store parking lots are full, traffic is very dense, restaurants are packed. Heck, even Krispy Kreme’s sales are way up. Also, Men’s Wearhouse just reported a massive gain in its fiscal first quarter revenue. That means more people are finding work and shopping for suits, etc.
Meanwhile, the Russian economy is contracting at a very painful 3.5% annualized rate.
“Store parking lots are full, traffic is very dense, restaurants are packed. Heck, even Krispy Kreme’s sales are way up. Also, Men’s Wearhouse just reported a massive gain in its fiscal first quarter revenue. That means more people are finding work and shopping for suits, etc.”
Sounds like Moscow, though I am sure about Krispy Kreme.
Sounds like Moscow, huh? Only the overall economy is in decline…
Oh one more things (since a lot of Russia supporters’ hope was placed in Tsipras): the empire will never, ever, let Greece fall.
Mark my word, a “solution” will be found every single time it’s needed. Why? They just print the money out of thin air for crying out loud.
In fact I made two predictions before year end 2015:
-The Greek “issue” will be solved
-Iran will not have received the S-300 before Dec. 31 (not to say never)
And I appeal to the moderators to limit anonymice. It is hard to figure out who is talking to whom.
As for the US economy, surely it depends upon where you are. Parts of the country are dying, and parts are doing fairly well. As long as China and Russia take dollars, this may not change.
Not much the moderators can do, anons are anon to them too. But………
hello Charette, don’t be shy, use your name.
I am certain that is Charette. Always used to determine the whole economy by the traffic in parking lots and cake shops. I wonder how many Krispy Kremes have to be sold to provide jobs for the millions of people who need one?
HAHA most of the new jobs are part time flipping burgers.,,, you reckon people are buying suits for that?
You are delerious. Spending by consumers is down significantly. Retail stores are sitting on high levels of stock. Orders for stock have been declining since demand has slowed. The majority of the states of empire are experiencing a stagnant evonomy. Except for pockets of prosperity, the D.C. area, by which I mean the wealthy suburbs, things are not rosey. Also, it certainly doesn’t apply to the urban district. So you believe there is an expanding jobs market too. Any new jobs are restricted for the greater part to the service sector. Those really well paying sort of jobs like burger flippers, other jobs in fast food, wait staff, healthcare aids, and cleaning persons.
We have excellent moderators on this blog.Perhaps they should have the power to make these overt distractions be gone.This is looking like a circus now!
While Nasrallah and Putin talk big, Hezbollah and the Syrian army have got all the Syrian-Lebanese border. See the link below in Spanish. Get informed before talk. The US, is obvious, acts in all fronts but loses in all these fronts, while causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and misery and destruction wherever it goes.
Wonderful economic analysis, Donut Shops and One-percent Wannabe Warehouse are doing gang-busting business, the crisis is over! Surely people stuffing their faces with pastries and buying cheap suits are the hallmarks of economic viability. The Doggy Massage and Puppy Yoga sectors are tripling year-on-year, call Bloomberg!
Meanwhile the economy of a resource-exporting nation is contracting concurrent with a price decline of its biggest export commodity. The sky is truly falling.
Since the comments have gravitated to the preponderance of anonymous posters, I feel I have to give my two cents. I can understand not wanting to post under one’s actual name, but for all you Anons out there, some questions:
Do you really think your IP address is not being tracked?
That by posting as “Anonymous”, and not using a nom de plume, somehow this confuses the NSA algorithms and hides your data and identity?
Or that your free-ware proxy server can’t be tracked?
But of course, I’m sure you’re all IT experts who can side-step the largest digit vacuum cleaner known to man.
Yes it all looks rosy from CNBC. Car sales in May were highest they have been since 2005, pre-crash, this is true. However not that surprising considering the average age of cars on US roads is rising, meaning people have been putting off buying new ones because they couldn’t afford to.
Let’s look at your other claims: US household wealth at is at an all-time high you say? Sure in absolute value but median household wealth is falling and has been falling. The difference is due to the skyrocketing wealth inequality in the US. Google ‘US wealth gap’ and look at some graphs. Real wages stagnant or declining since the 60s. Ever-increasing levels of household debt, student debt and medical debt. Are those signs of a healthy economy?
And then the kicker, the ‘US becomes top oil producer.’ Too bad that was before the shale industry collapsed. Google ‘US rig count,’ tell me if you like that trajectory. And if the US is in such a healthy state vis-a-vis oil production, surely it must be a net exporter of oil? Oh, its not? I must of been confusing the US with Russia, silly me.
The US offshored its industry. It will never return. The only job growth has been in low-paying service sector jobs. Good jobs are gone. Real wages are falling. Real unemployment is rising. But you’re right. Russia, with its resource-driven economy, intact industry and technology sectors, and inexpensive education is in trouble.
The Fed can still print dollars for nothin’, so what’s to worry about there!
“Meanwhile Russia’s economy is falling at a 3.5% rate and inflation is double-digits.”
You Russophobes amaze me.While you deliberately attack Russia’s economy trying to destroy her.You complain “look their economy is in trouble”.As if people are too stupid to understand why its having problems.Russia will overcome those attacks and advance.Russia has almost a third of all the Worlds resources.And their only real problems are to reorganize their economy to utilize that abundance correctly.While the Empire and their stooges are facing a future of want,quickly running out of resources.China has already surpassed the US economically and within 10 years will double their economy.With Russia helping them and benefiting from that vast wealth even more.No matter how much you work to harm Russia you will fail.While for the Empire there is no rosy future to look forward too.
“State statistics released on June 11 show that the number of Russians living below the poverty line rose by 3.1 million in the first quarter.
The number of Russians classed as living in poverty reached 22.9 million in the first quarter, or 15.9 percent of the population.
In the same period last year 19.8 million Russians were living below the poverty line. This is defined as having an income of less than 9,662 rubles ($176) per month.
The statistics agency adjusted the income level defined as poverty from last year to reflect inflation of up to 17 percent early this year.”
Could it be that Russia is an even bigger Capitalist hellhole than “the West”?
People are buying because that’s what artificially low interest rates have trained them to do. Talk to me after the 3rd consecutive rate hike – by end of 2017 ( to begin after 2016 election ).
people are buying because life goes on and we need clothes. Working 7 days a week to try to pay the bills is not what was intended by the Gods for humanity. But we will prevail somehow. Many of the children and young people now are up for a new change. I hope they usher it in. God bless them.
Major investment companies purchase thousands of homes which takes them off the market. Obamacare popularity hits all time low. TPP will undercut healthcare in the US and in other countries.US wages war on free speech with a court order to produce anonymous comments from Reason.com. US sending more troops and military assets to Iraq, Lebanon and Ukraine to preposition them for the upcoming war. US opens its 5th base in Iraq. US and coalition forces making their move to oust Assad.
When it comes to US econ performance, people should regularly consider whatever is not stated. It appears to me, Mr. Stockman is helpful. For example dated June 11,
” According to the BLS, the nation gained 57,000 jobs in the leisure and hospitality sector—-that is, bartenders, waiters, bellhops and hot dog vendors at the ball park. While the talking heads were cheerleading the headline number, of course, they naturally failed to note that from a production and income point of view, these are just one-third jobs. Owing to low hourly rates and only about 26 hours per week on average, the annualized pay equivalent in the leisure and hospitality category is just $16,000.” Some charts included in nearly every report & commentary.
2nd strong hint that that JUN 30 supposed “deadline” for an IAEA agreement with IRAN will not go unchallenged by Nutty.
Desperate to bait them into reacting to an contrived event before then, they are.
The tension only grew when reports surfaced that Israel had spied on nuclear talks with Iran. Washington and Jerusalem have long played a kind of spy vs. spy game which both countries generally accept and tolerate, but this time around, Israel apparently passed the intelligence it gathered on to Congress in an attempt to undercut negotiations with Iran, something The White House did not appreciate. Here’s our rather amusing summary:
Maybe it’s time to review the policy allowing Off-Topic comments. The comments are becoming worthless, with so much noise drowning out the signal.
Maybe ban Anonymous comments too. Let them go away or identify their comments – understand this is not about identifying people, but lines of thought, so that discussion can more easily take place.
I often used to turn to the comments first, especially with a video, to get a sense of what the post was about. That option seems finished here now, unless moderation changes its policies.
In one way, it’s okay. There’s a huge volume of information passing through this site now, and to avoid reading the comments will speed up reading the site. But in another way, it’s a great loss. The comments – when they’re not derailed by deliberate trolling or simply by scattered minds – add immense richness to the original post.
I suggest, as a way to control comments, that moderators be given two new guidelines: (1) delete all comments that are not identified with a name and (2) delete all comments that are not on topic.
The comments section is also a great source of breaking news (although between this site’s sitreps, Fort Russ and Russia Insider there’s not going to be much that can slip by unnoticed). So, I suggest a frequent Open Thread to take the breaking news, the offerings of OT material (which will always be interesting of course) and those wild rants that serve the purpose to kill the thread.
I’m sorry that I have to make what seems like an off-topic comment here, but the sheer volume of off-topic comments in this thread that have nothing to do with the original post prompt me to offer these suggestions.
I agree. The first post was intended to obfuscate further discussion of what Nasrallah discussed. While a common spam tactic, in this case it was for purely zionazi reasons and a very common websayanim tactic whenever their enemies are given space on a site that isn’t the usual zionist supporting detritus.
Nasrallah is a huge threat to Israel, so anything he says must be silenced, by any means possible.
Grieved, you’re correct that there’s been a failure of the moderators on this thread, but that’s understandable. There are all kinds of problems that might make that happen.
But more importantly, there’s been a failure of commenters here. Ten or fifteen good-hearted and well-meaning people have allowed themselves to be ambushed by 1½ assholes, and even after the ambush should have been completely obvious, they continued to cooperate with their ambushers. Stop! Just stop! Stop cooperating and stop whining! It’s an insult to NasrAllah!
The Syria/Lebanon border is extremely important to Hezbollah if for no other reason than it is their only safe escape route from Syria. All of the Turkey, Iraq and most of the Jordanian borders are controlled by the rebels and even the Iraqi reinforcement militias had to enter Syria by the sea.
As the Axis of Resistance and the multinational Coalition continues to fail to stop the advance of the Islamic State forces we will see more of these creative excuses projected to cover up military defeats due to superior IS forces, leadership and motivation.
All this rumor filled story shows is that the author is ignorant about the long term effects of Speed, these fighters would be useless in the field within a few days or weeks if they were using these drugs regularly due to physical and mental deterioration.

And those new banks they are putting together are based on the dollar…
So what gives?
BRICS is definitely not dollar-based. I don’t know about AIIB.
Paul II,
I commended you recently for some very interesting comment.
I’ve been posting here for many months as an Anonymous – on some occasions my ideas do not get through.
I live with that -this is not my blog / site.
If I wasn’t permitted to post as Anonymous I wouldn’t post at all.
I think your most recent comment is not so interesting.
“If I wasn’t permitted to post as Anonymous I wouldn’t post at all.”
But you share your nick with thousands of others, so who would notice?
“But you share your nick with thousands of others, so who would notice?”

Annoymous
What do you think of the actual video?
Guest,
That’s what anonymouses do.The very first comment threw this thread into distractions.
This crap should be in the Hudson thread people…
Or better yet…
We have excellent moderators on this blog.Perhaps they should have the power to make these overt distractions be gone.This is looking like a circus now!
The video is completely irrelevant. While guys like Nasrallah and Putin talk big, the U.S. acts on all fronts.
While Nasrallah and Putin talk big, Hezbollah and the Syrian army have got all the Syrian-Lebanese border. See the link below in Spanish. Get informed before talk. The US, is obvious, acts in all fronts but loses in all these fronts, while causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and misery and destruction wherever it goes.
Since chaos is their objective (get informed before you talk) I think they are succeeding on all fronts.
For now, enjoy while you can the money they pay you.

The Americans are buying cheap suits. That means they are watching their budgets while their waists get larger.
You can use select numbers and statistics for any argument.
93 million Americans are looking for work, for their job, for a career.
That one is the important number.
As for a test bed for success, tell me how well California is doing, Bozo. Compare it to, say 1999.
Compare wages, not wealth in Silicon Valley and SF.
Compare home ownership, mortgages and rentals.
Compare expected income of college graduates.
Compare unemployment of youth and the young adults.
Compare drug usage.
Compare prison population.
Solon, speaking of prisons…this is horrific documentary…http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article8451.htm
