1. The Fed allows nominal yields to keep rising. This would crash igloo prices and real estate by 90%--it would be worse than the Great Depression. When nominal yields got to only 3% in 2018, the stock market plummeted from 26,500 to 22,500. This was averted only by restarting Q. E. Nowadays, even 1% yields crash the market. We nearly got to 1% yields on Friday--0.90%. Yields could spike any day now. This is why Warren Buffet is staying oot of the stock market and hoarding silver.

2. The Fed puts a formal cap on yields, also known as YCC. This would be an admission that 5 trillion in Q. E. hasn't been enough to suppress rates, and that at least 20 trillion more is coming. In other words, hyperinflation, a crash in the bond market, and monetizing the debt. Stocks will soar in nominal terms, but crash against the price of gold, because hyperinflation will make the gains worthless, as they were in the Zimbabwe or Venezuelan stock-markets.

In other words, the stock market must crash soon. The only question is whether it will happen in nominal terms or real terms.

I think we all know that the Fed will choose to crash it in real terms, because that is the only politically expedient option. The average Robinhood trader will be marvelling at his 500% gains, and the "best" stock market in human history, even though the U. S. loonie is on its way to being carried aboot in wheelbarrows.

Whichever choice the Fed is going to make, the only way to profit from this crisis is to buy gold, gold miners, silver, and silver miners.

The federal government aims to welcome nearly 432,000 immigrants to Canada this year, as a part of a three-year plan to fill critical labour-market gaps and support a post-pandemic economic recovery.

The annual immigration levels plan, tabled in Parliament Monday, projects Canada will admit 431,645 permanent residents in 2022, followed approximately by 447,000 in 2023 and 451,000 in 2024. The majority of the permanent resident spots – 56 per cent – will be designated for immigrants coming to Canada to fill job vacancies this year.

Speaking to The Globe and Mail, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how key immigrants are to Canada’s success, as newcomers fill many front-line jobs.

“When I talk to restaurants, machine shops, health care providers or virtually any other business, I see help-wanted signs in windows,” Mr. Fraser said.

“By launching what is the most ambitious immigration plan in the history of Canada, we are going to equip the Canadian economy with the workers it needs.”

Ottawa says immigration accounts for 100 per cent of labour-force growth and, with five million Canadians set to retire by the end of this decade, the worker-to-retiree ratio will drop – demonstrating the need for increased immigration.

Goldy Hyder, president and chief executive officer of the Business Council of Canada, said the number of job vacancies in the country is near an all-time high and immigration will be a key driver of pandemic recovery. He welcomed the government’s immigration targets Monday, but he said the plan must be supported by increased processing capability and supports for newcomers.

“To help meet these new targets, we urge the government to expand the immigration system’s processing capacity by adding new processing centres, updating outdated IT systems, and increasing recruitment and training of border agents and settlement services personnel. A growing workforce should also be accompanied by increased investments in public services, housing, and infrastructure,” Mr. Hyder said in a statement.

Mr. Fraser said the government recently hired 500 new processing staff and set aside $85-million in new funding to reduce application backlogs.

NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan urged the government to introduce special immigration levels to give the 500,000 migrant workers already in Canada a path to settlement and help address the labour-skill shortage.

While the government plans to increase the number of economic immigrants it welcomes to Canada over the next three years, from nearly 242,000 this year to more than 267,000 in 2024, it will simultaneously reduce the number of refugees to whom it offers safe haven. Canada will resettle approximately 77,000 refugees this year, 74,000 in 2023 and 62,500 in 2024. Mr. Fraser said resettlement numbers will gradually decrease as Canada follows through with its commitment to resettle 40,000 Afghan refugees over the next two years. More than 7,550 Afghan refugees have been resettled in Canada since last August.

The reduction in refugee-resettlement targets – particularly the government’s plan to accept more privately sponsored refugees than government-assisted refugees – has sparked concern for advocates.

“The responsibility to resettle refugees lies with the government – to reflect that responsibility, the government should resettle more refugees than private citizens. Yet the levels show private sponsors are being asked to do one and a half times as much resettlement as the government,” the Canadian Council for Refugees said in a statement.

Overall immigration levels have grown substantially since the Liberals took power in 2015. Numbers continued to grow until 2020, when Canada only admitted 184,500 newcomers because of the challenges posed by the pandemic. Shuttered overseas visa offices, closed borders, quarantine restrictions and challenges booking flights heavily affected the immigration system.

Immigration numbers rebounded in 2021, when Canada welcomed 405,000 new permanent residents – breaking the all-time record set in 1913. The majority of the newcomers were already in Canada on temporary status, including temporary foreign workers in the skilled trades, health care and technology, and international students.

The government has not tabled an immigration levels plans since October, 2020. It normally announces it immigration targets by Nov. 1, but last year’s plan was delayed because of the federal election.

Is this what burger weed looks like?? Holy shit thats bad

Aurora is one of my favorite trance mixers. She's produced several well put-together compilations. What she lacks in quantity, she makes up for with quality.

If you enjoy trance music, I think you'll like this one!

So you know how in interviews you give a strategically selected weakness in case you are asked about it? Why wouldn't the same apply for nations.

Maybe some problems are never fixed or are created to focus rival resources on and stop them from noticing the real weakness or even having the budget to find them.

Example- Palestine is never set free so Iran has to forever focus on it meanwhile the Israelis already have the wall set up. It's a higher cost to Iran.

South China Sea. No country can claim the territory because all the other nearby nations would oppose it. Yet it also requires constant naval funding for any nation that wants to maintain its seashore sovereignty.

Proxy war in a weakened territory where you only invest enough in forces to require the rival to constantly expend more resources there.

BLM. Divides the country on racial lines. All rival nations try to fracture the race division further but don't realize at worst it becomes blacks vs everybody else in which case the economy continues to grow.

Territorial claims based on self defense. Russia says has to invade Ukraine because muh NATO too strong. Even Pakistan and Afghanistan (previous govt.) are NATO members. It literally doesn't give Ukraine any added ability to invade Russia. Only to defend itself incase of further invasion.

So what do you think are some other/more purposefully built/claimed weaknesses of nations around the world today?
