Masterful job in both your transcription and your comments, Mark. Thank you very much! Do people realize just how important all this is? Your efforts should certainly help.

As you note because of Trump and Brexit the timeline has been moved forward and the sense of urgency among the "Davos" crowd has greatly increased. One thing people should be clear about, the U.S. financial industry (a.k.a. "Wall Street") is not a monolith. You have people like Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan who are against "Davos" on the one hand and people like Blackrock and BoA (+ many corporations) who are for it on the other. This battle is ongoing and it is not certain who the victors will be. There are no perfect guys only guys who are better than other guys.

Congress under the Democrats are our enemies. ESG investing and those who support it (at this point) are our enemies. Climate change propagandists are our enemies. Those promoting collectivism and sacrifice for the "greater good" are our enemies. Learn to see the signals and learn to absolve yourself of the guilt others try to lay on you. Do what you can to resist false propositions and to support the truth and the real data. Don't give yourselves over to those who want to control your life. Affirm that your government was set up to guard and guarantee your freedoms. Be thankful for that, cite it, and never back down.

So how many of our esteemed politicians are aware of this, excluding those who are in on the “Davos fix” of course? The scale of this thing is mind boggling, and we are as needy for sharp minded politicians as we are for insightful diplomats, and honestly, I don’t think folks like Linseed Graham and Mittens Romney are up to the task.

You mentioned the other day that when this mess starts to shake out, things could get dicey domestically, today’s post certainly provided some scale to that statement.

Also, looks like Powell was the right guy at the right time. Kinda like the guy that nominated him for the job.
