👉 R.I.P. Middle Class America




We are no longer the wealthiest middle class in the world. The country is falling apart. In the US, The Middle Class is shrinking. Pew Research Center data shows that in 1971 sixty-one percent of adults lived in middle-income households by 2016 that the number was down to 52%. Americans as a whole now have over thirteen point eight trillion dollars in debt, a number that's gone up nearly every quarter for the past six years. Almost 40 million Americans have lost their jobs since the coronavirus pandemic struck in March. More than the population of Canada. 21% of Americans now rely on welfare, 80% live paycheck to paycheck. The number of people living in vans and tents has been increasing at an alarming rate. The Middle Class is disappearing, squeezed between taxation and inflation. Goodbye Middle Class: The Percentage Of Wealth Owned By The Top 1% Just Got Even Bigger. Previously affluent middle-class Americans are now queuing for handouts at food banks, as America experiences the worst downturn since the 1930s and the Great Depression. This is what happens when your government doesn’t have a furlough scheme and gives the money to the executives Instead. As the cost of living has risen faster than our incomes have, more Americans have been squeezed out of the middle class with each passing month. Credit cards, student debt with no degree/worthless degree, 10-year auto loans; Cry me a river. The K-12 cartel has become a de facto Stupid Factory, stamping out worthless slugs. The majority have been forced to hand over their wealth to the state to fund their pension Ponzi. Pure socialism and that pension Ponzi is a debt. There is no capital. The end result - wealth inequality, pensioner poverty, austerity, high taxes, lack of investment. If you're not prepared right now, it's too late. Wait till the food Shortage starts after this year's harvest. The Farmers were not able to plant, thus harvest yields are low and will continue to be low for years to come. Food riots are coming to a city near you. There is still time to plant veggies. Food shortages: Fiat Money is backed by food. New Dumb Serfs are born every minute. Future Tax Serfs Will Work for food and water. You trade your time for money. Read Food/Water/etc. Your time is up when you go broke (Deep in debt) and/or can't work anymore. Of course, these opinions of mine are a bit obscure & don't apply to the wealthy. However, given that people work for more than the essentials, like food, clothing, and shelter, not working means no essentials, and though I oversimplified it with food, you'll understand better when the food supply gets disrupted. Venezuela understands this all too well; Zimbabwe does too. There are only two classes left in this country. Those who have enough in the stock market to make a difference. And those who don't. And the gap grows wider. Where is the fair return on savings? The good old USA - has the worst wealth inequality in all countries. Three people - Bezos, Buffett & Bill Gates - combined wealth is more than the combined wealth of 50% of the country. Absolute worst in the world. Even in India, it takes nine persons. Proving the USA is even worse than India on the wealth inequality measurement. After the coming crash/reset, only a small percentage of people will have the resources/savings/knowledge to keep their own homes, those with large mortgages will get smashed. Wealth will flow into a monied/property-owning class, which will be between 5-10% of the population. The rest of the population will never have the chance to own property or assets. They will have to live hand to mouth. At the minute the hand to mouth class is roughly around 50-60% and growing every year, let say it grows at 3 to 4% per year, then within a decade this will come true. Sadly, this can't be stopped. Many people have already given up and now base their entire life on a hand to mouth, week to week existence. The youth see no future, instead of rebellion like the punks of the late '70s, these downtrodden kids are happy enough to dodge reality by playing Playstation or talking to imaginary 'friends' on social media. The American neo-feudalism will be the logical conclusion of the American clan-corporate "capitalism" imposed by the USA in 1913. It is the giant sucking sound of our fascist government using corporate socialism to bleed the taxpayers to support the kingmakers. The upper class has already taken a good chunk out of the stock market. Now They're waiting to buy everything up cheaply after the crash. This Depression will transform America beyond the obvious. Just wait until the FED wants to inflate away the debt. The middle classes will disappear completely or be redefined as the 90% to 95% percentile. Middle-class America, You are an endangered species, your children and grandchildren will pay the COVID debt through their organs and labor. We are less than a decade away from Soylent Green, and yet the ignorant masses come out every Thursday at 8 PM to clap and bang on their pots and pans. They are the dead men walking but are too stupid to realize it. Whilst they can't sleep at night through fear and spend their days praying to their God ( The big government) to make it all better again. They are willing to line up in an orderly queue, keeping 6 feet apart, to be slaughtered by the same people in power they worship as gods. The middle-class private-sector class was already mortally wounded after Clinton, Bush, and Obama. This is the final nail in the coffin and will eliminate the private sector and the American middle class. The only sector that has survived is the government employees who continued getting paid even while they were shut down. The USA will become more like China, where the brightest student fights each other for a government job instead of some private sector work. So many Americans are happily bought off for a mere $1200. Acceptance of slavery is worse than slavery itself. Offshore accounts hide over half the wealth of the uber class. We cannot compare the lower 99.99% to them. They own half of this planet. All roads lead back to the fiat money system. It was introduced to tax and enslave the public. What we need is a sound monetary system without government interference, precious metals, or barter. We are forced to accept a currency that loses value every single second! The rich, in collusion with the government, have robbed the middle class blind! How is the poor responsible for all the money that is being printed out of thin air to bail out banks and big corporations!? We pay taxes to feed the 1%. We are carrying a huge parasitic load.No more no less! We are truly slaves, and those who vote and support this sick system are simply clueless! Bottom line in two simple sentences: - You suffer because you are forced to use federal reserve notes. -Your life sucks because the Fed and the Wallstreet gang stole all the wealth of the nation with the help of the guys you vote for. Period! The Fed creates wealth for those with political power. It destroys the wealth of others who lack political power. In the beginning, the gross numbers are impressive, while folks at the bottom suffer. In the end, even those who receive wealth transfers lose. By the time the economy collapses, everyone has forgotten what caused the problem. "It's called the American dream because it isn't real." The American Dream no more. The American nightmare more like. The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the full truth, and nothing but the truth. The middle-class family life and security have largely disappeared. The first cause is "neoliberal globalization" is something far less organic, or evolutionary than many would like to believe. It has to do with free trade, outsourcing, and the transfer of huge amounts of capital, entire industries, and millions of jobs to places like China with near zero-cost labor. It was not the working & middle class that benefited. They lost. It was the multinational corporations, the investment banksters, and the rich who benefited. From the 1980s on, all our governments, and all economists knew what this was doing to our economics, and they all knew the trend which was bringing out nations from creditor nations to debtor nations. The banksters in the West loved it because with the increased deficit financing trying to maintain our standard of living, the governments had to borrow more from them. In the process, they became even more powerful. With fewer jobs, less cash, there was less security for the things which really matter in raising a family - all supposedly because we want to buy our ticky tacky at the lowest possible cost no matter what it does to us in the long run! As for China, the one-child policy which began in 1980 and which has caused huge demographic problems for that nation, was, in fact, a condition of the US for opening up the trade that went back to the 1972 Nixon-Kissinger negotiations with the PRC government. There was no need for it as the Chinese people were already on their own, reducing their offspring from 6 per couple down to 3. If the anti-child, population-reduction elites who run our nations were behind the Chinese one-child policy, as well as our own anti-family and population-reduction policies, as most certainly they are, then they of all people were in a position in overseeing free-trade to see exactly what it was doing to family security in the West. The fact is all of the elites are bastards, and they only way the middle class will have any peace or justice for any kind of security is to remove all of them from power and strip them of their wealth. Since they deregulated banking and took off all the safeguards put in to prevent a 1930s style crash, we immediately get three crashes in 20 years. We need to ban banking across state lines again, and Amazon needs to be broken into 50 independent pieces. The people that fled the renter status of Feudalism by settling the new world became owners. The country that threw out George the Third was almost totally middle class because most people lived on farms and in homes that they owned outright. The foisting of the FED was the destruction of a real middle class since inflation forced people to borrow from the banksters in order to build what they could do independently before. Property taxes are an abomination since it converts everyone into renters. The definition of the middle class, no matter how impoverished, is someone who owns his property entirely unencumbered by debt. Today there are three classes in America. 1) The One percent. 2) the middle class, which is 12% of the population, and actually making a living wage. 3) The NEW LOWER CLASS which makes 87% of the population. Globalized wage slaves with huge indebtedness. The middle and the poor get harvested, and the rich get richer. This was the real purpose of globalism. The best way to define the "middle class," is this: people in the middle class borrow money from banks, for houses, cars, etc. The lower classes can't borrow, and the rich do not borrow, except through corporate entities, which are actually quite legally distinct. Now, some bloke out there with a $10k/month mortgage certainly would say he is upper class. He is the upper middle, perhaps. The working class is what created the middle class. The educated working class was the upper middle. Now they're just all a bunch of debt slaves. The outward projection of the 'middle class' looks good, but behind the scenes, it's living paycheck to paycheck. The only difference is that they're doing it in a nice house on the West side of town instead of a trailer on the south side down in the bottoms. "The ceaseless rise of non-discretionary costs " Costs are rising at a ridiculous pace, property taxes, utility charges, and fees; the outflow is getting to be pretty heavy. It will be interesting to see who ends up naked when the next tide goes out. The Elite feel you should be happy to have a job. You don't need savings or financial security. Now quiet down, and get back to work. Exactly, all by design to keep you slaving away while barely keeping your head above water. Same as it ever was. A roof over your head is also a luxury to the elite. Being middle class rather than muddle or upper class puts you at bigger risk from the government than either the rich who own the government or the muddles who really have no assets face. In ten years, we'll have more government no matter who we elect, and it's the true middle class who will suffer from it. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉 Retail Apocalypse A Tsunami of Retail Bankruptcies and Closures in 2020

👉 Retail Apocalypse A Tsunami of Retail Bankruptcies and Closures in 2020



Even though we are slowly reopening across the board in the majority of the country, many businesses are still closed or will never reopen. We are seeing it in retail, and in health, we are seeing it in hospitality and travel. The Most Retail Stores Will Be Closing.COVID has hit retailers hard. EMPTY STOREFRONTS ARE BECOMING A COMMON PART OF THE Cities LANDSCAPE. People don’t want to drive miles and wait in line and potentially get sick for things they could have delivered to their homes the same day. 2020 will see a retail apocalypse, A Tsunami of retail closures, and bankruptcies. An unprecedented retail crisis never seen before in American history. More chain stores will be disappearing, and several mainstay retailers are rethinking the whole idea of having brick-and-mortar locations a staggering number of stores have shut down. And it is not just about these big chains, three-quarters of retailers are small businesses, and those are the ones that are really at risk. As the toll of unemployment in the U.S. is growing each week, for more than two months. Many economists and experts believe some of these lost jobs will not come back any time soon. With consumer confidence low, when people do not have two nickels to rub together, when people are not making nearly enough to live. What do you think is going to happen with the retail sector. That is the particular concern in the retail sector. Over two million Americans have now lost their jobs in retail. Stores shed jobs, of course, as sales plunged. A record 16.4 percent down from March to April, a bloodbath for the economy, since retail accounts for about half of all consumer spending, which in turn drives some 70 percent of economic activity. In acute pain, clothing stores, where sales have tumbled nearly 80 percent. Already struggling department stores are down about 30 percent. Include that well over 50% of restaurants won't survive on 50% less occupancy, which means 50% less revenue. When many need 85-90% volume, and a high table turns over just to break even. The pandemic has speeded the shift to online, predicted to jump from 15 percent of all retail to fully a quarter, good for virtual stores, disastrous for ones you can walk into, many of which have now gone under. As a result, it's harder for retailers to both pay their debts and stay current to compete with behemoths like Amazon and Walmart. Now, across the country, some stores are opening up. But, even if retailers open, are people ready to go shopping? Even among those who may want to go out and shop and miss that activity, a lot of them don't have the means to do so, or they're reluctant to spend because they're nervous about the economy. Confidence takes a moment to destroy. It can take many, many months to come back. My guess is that 30% of businesses will not return or won’t last long. And about the same percentage of people will remain unemployed. This setback will cripple the economy for the next ten years. The debt incurred will be the pandemic killer! And while operating at reduced capacity under new rules now, businesses are passing the buck onto consumers. Extended hours, limitations on the number of customers allowed, improved sanitization methods, and a barrage of personal protective equipment; All comes with a price tag. Some businesses are tacking on a COVID surcharge as they navigate through the pandemic. Now consumer experts say these surcharges may push customers away. Macy's said that sales were down 45 percent. Because of online retailing, it is likely that at least half the brick and mortar retailers were on the extreme margin of solvency already. Online shopping already accounts for 11% of retail sales. The good old days are gone when mall managers wouldn't even meet with anyone not representing a AAA national chain tenant. Now they are offering free rent and incentives to CBD sellers and hot dog cart owners. Thrift stores will become anchor tenants. After JC Penney filed for bankruptcy, Hertz also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid rising debt and a sharp drop in demand for rental cars during the coronavirus pandemic. The company is the latest business to fall victim to the coronavirus. This is just a start. We will have many more to see. I have seen news Aldo is also looking for bankruptcy Insurance. Pier 1, JCP, Kohls, Macy's, Foot Locker, Nordstrom. Then the Universities and Colleges. Starting with Halloween to Christmas, there are no parties, no celebrations. Rice and Beans for Celebration. Just wait another 60 days when the enhanced unemployment money dries up. There will be 50 million unemployed with not a pot to piss in. The depression is only in the unfolding stages, and the economic collapse that is coming will make the virus look like a picnic. Let’s make a list of those that are still able to make the rent: 1) Gun shops. 2) Liquor Stores. 3) Grocers. 4) Coin shops, (thanks to the gold and silver stackers). 5) Weed dispensaries. 6) Fast food restaurants. While dams fail, bridges collapse, communities deteriorate, and homelessness grows, while jobs and the US economy are offshored, the environment is degraded, and health care needs go unaddressed.US Billionaires are up 460 BILLION in just two months. And Will be UP a TRILLION, at a minimum, by fall 2020 election. Tens of trillions to Wall Street, the banks and corporate welfare socialism. America is simply going to drown in its unaddressed debt problems just as New Orleans drowned in Hurricane Katrina. America's economy was never strong; it just printed more money. This is just the beginning. It will get much worst when the looting, riots, civil disobedient, the chaos starts. Coronavirus has left the US in economic devastation. Most small businesses and service industry jobs have been eliminated. Airlines are sitting. Restaurants closed. No sports or any gatherings. People are hurting and need money badly. Forty million jobs lost in 7 weeks. America is on the verge of losing everything. This Economy is not going to just bounce right back. It is going to take years to recover from this. It'll get extended beyond the election. Bank it. The real ugly will hit at Christmas when all the businesses get to see first hand how broke many are now; and spending for Christmas craters. Many will be homeless as banks take homes and apartments. People do not own anything. We will be a third world country very soon. The Fed and the Banks will own everything. When you take a 30-year note on a house or property, you are really buying almost three houses in the end, you keep 1 for yourself and give 2 to the bank. Depending on your interest rate, that is. But its never really your property. The county will stick a gun in your ear every month and tax you. Right around here, I see people paying $10000 a year on their house just in tax. Imagine what taxes will be after this COVID BS with no income coming in for local governments. State pensions are a disaster. Politicians want to give hundreds of millions away to the homeless and illegals. They only get their money from taxes, your taxes. Inflation and taxes are going to explode. That's why GE and Ford and GM, GE, all those old money blue chips are gagging on pensioners that they promised to pay. Well, now they can't pay. They are pension guarantee/distribution companies that just so happen to make cars. That's the result of 4 decades of neoliberalism, capitalism on steroids, ' more is never enough' a dog eats society, without humanity. This is gonna suck for a while, but we are finally seeing what is important and what is utterly useless. Overpaid, useless politicians. Social welfare at taxpayers' expense with no accountability. Institutions of higher learning that rib and exploit young people while offering a useless degree and debt, while tenured professors are basically fat parasites living off the servitude of young people who can't find paying jobs. And the list goes on. We could see societies on a global scale go back to simple living, learning skills, or knowledge that fixes problems and not teach victimhood as currency and a real responsibility to the community that results in positive action. One hundred years ago, you knew your neighbors and helped them when they were in need. Most people don't know they're neighbors name right now. I really think this was one of the goals of the virus scare. They want to eliminate most physical locations of commerce. Everything is to be done online - less travel, less mingling with other people, less competition, further economic globalization, elimination of thriving local economies, ultimately moving towards global technocratic communism. Things are a whole lot worse than you know. Historic highs, Monstrous lows; Everyone broke; Little hope. Sounds like a job for the WAR option. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the full truth, and nothing but the truth. THE American ECONOMY is COLLAPSING! This is THE WORST DEPRESSION IN HISTORY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, ONCE THE REST OF THE WORLD REALIZES THAT THE US DOLLAR IS WORTHLESS! The Day of Reckoning approaches. Most of these businesses have their doors still open only because they do not pay rent. Once they get evicted, they cannot pay their suppliers and employees, and the chain reactions begin. Meanwhile, Robinhood traders clicking their mouse and popping anti-depressants like they were tic-tacs, continue to buy their lottery ticket shares. The chaos will not be a sudden meteoric event. Instead, it will be a gradual and insidious process. The poor dumb American will be bankrupted and evicted in a controlled process. At least that's what the globalist have planned. But, by the very definition of "chaos," this will not be predictable by any means. We must rationalize the pandemic's aftermath in a thoughtful and mature way. Rashness and impulsiveness will not serve the cause of righteousness. Listen to what your conscience tells you. Follow ITS proddings... for that is the voice of God. Do not succumb to any "relief" initiatives given by the government. Seek civil disobedience movements. Deny vaccinations. Defy gubernatorial edicts. We must act as a hive. There's no way they can control a free-minded people. Huge swaths of "Main Street" properties are owned by Real Estate Investment Trusts and another high flying, HIGHLY leveraged investment consortium. A lot of Mom & Pop investors bought shares in these financially engineered Flim flams thinking they were investing in something tangible - real estate - not realizing that they were really investing in a complex smoke-and-mirrors shell game run by rogue accountants. Commercial Real Estate has, like everything else in the Financialization Of Everything world, been used as collateral for financial instruments running 25X - 50X - 100X leverage. It's subprime and jumbo mortgage meltdown version 2.0 waiting to happen, and once again, nobody could have seen this coming. Dang coronavirus! Everything was rock solid until that pesky bug showed up. Now the financial system is going to need another bazillion-dollar liquidity infusion from the Federal Reserve. The whole American economic system is very predatory and unforgiving and doesn't have any resilience when something disrupts it. In the end, it's the poor people who suffer, and most Americans could give a damn. It is a very poor system by any measure. The system was designed by the elites, for the sole benefit of the elites. 99.9 % of the population has been screwed every which way, and those that control the issue of money, simply get more wealthy and powerful. To end the Fed, one has got to bring down their masters. The Banksters are a gang of criminals - they are the head of that snake. We, the people, are definitely screwed! You don't pay your car loan; they take it. You don't pay your country's loans; they take it. Here is the kicker; they bought the country with the paper they print. PAYDAY!!!!!! Why have Americans allowed this to happen? Our forefathers properly warned us. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.
