Right now, it is all rather cerebral: bonds, tariff rates, etc. The regime's propaganda is rosy, talking about "short term pain, long term gain". They hear that and they think, oh, three to six months and then it begin to boom. Nope.

When stagflation bites, when that new car they thought they'd afford in nine months becomes $5,000 more expensive, when the unemployment rate climbs and one of their friends lost their job, ... that's when they'll start to get a clue.

Then they'll turn. In time for the Blue Storm Surge Nov. 2026.
