James.

A Tour de Force telling of Truths that are not Universally Understood.

( Say, perhaps, 1.5 % of the World’s Population…)

I think it was Benjamin Franklin who wrote a quip akin to β€œIt is when Voters discover that they can vote for free money for themselves, that it will be the beginning of the End of Democracy” .

Smart Guy!

Thanks Again

Thank you so much Brian, I truly appreciate this note. Yes Ben Franklin was wise beyond his years and time for certain. We can all learn from the founding fathers these days!

PS… A number of the Graphs/Charts are killer. So Visually Instructive.

Spot. Freaking. On. James!! Every week, for the past year and a half, I've settled in with my cup 'o joe and read the newsletter. And every week, I've learned more and more from you. Thank you my friend. This one is GOLDEN (literally and figuratively). It's the best "WTF1971" explanation I've seen. Crystal clear. And the new graphics are legit. Thanks again brother.
