I want to be very clear that I do NOT give financial advice. However, one of the companies I have noted to watch is Rheinmetall because of her relationship with the German government, and given the current trends toward militarism, there is a chance that she might become the prime company involved in driving a […]
Earlier in 2020, I commented on an article of how sports events are becoming a thing of the past, with a disproportionately Boomer-heavy market, and getting weaker with each generation after. This has put sports marketers into a crisis position, wondering what to do with the billions of dollars that go through the industry each […]
Trump recently declared, as reported by many news outlets, such as CNBC, that he is not satisfied with the Democrat-supported bill giving $600 to qualifying Americans. Instead, Trump has declared he wants it to be $2000 per person. President Donald Trump is demanding lawmakers raise the second round of stimulus checks to $2,000 per person, […]
After the TARP bailouts of 2007 and 2008, some financial commentators said that the government might as well throw money out of a helicopter, because the profuse amounts of printing was pointing, as a joke but also with a serious note, in that direction. One cannot print one’s way to wealth- unless by wealth one […]
“Thought crime” or “precrime” is a theme commonly referenced in science fiction novels. It is the idea that computers and supertechnology in a surveillance state setup can be used to predict who will commit a crime and who will not, and with the purpose not of stopping actual crime, but with preventing anybody from expressing […]
I have always tried to provide two warnings about COVID. The first is the obvious- to be careful because the disease really is something, and it really can make you very sick, and that it is not a joke. The second is that COVID is being used for the even deadlier purpose, separate from the […]
You heard me say it at Shoebat.com. You saw me emphasize it over and over at the end of so many pieces. You may have been sick of hearing about it, but I kept telling you because there were too many trends suggesting that it was going to happen. Sure enough, now it is happening. […]
With tensions rising between the US and China, one of the trends for the future that Shoebat.com has been watching is a war with China in the future. As Asianews points out, the US has been increasing her naval presence in China to such a point that Washington is moving to counter Beijing’s “expansionist” approach. […]
There are always complaints about the Post Office and how slow it is. These have become worse with the explosion of online shopping and delivery. As one with experience in the trucking industry, Christmastime is always a very difficult month, as the trucks are running constantly and a single delay (which is going to happen) […]
So far, come January, Joe Biden will be sworn in as president of the US. One of the points he has emphasized was instituting was a ‘green new deal’, of which there were many environmental-friendly provisions that would be deadly to most of normal American life. While one cannot be sure of what Biden actually […]
The problems related to the COVID pandemic are not just ‘western’ specific. They rather are a global issue due to the interconnectivity of the global economy and the US dollar as the ‘world reserve’ currency backing the economies of the globe. With instability in the US dollar and the economic problems, of which the majority […]
With the world racing for a COVID-19 vaccine, there are a lot of scientists doing work around the clock to stop the current pandemic. However, according to the New York Times from multiple sources, one scientist working on this vaccine in Russia has unexpected died in a strange and tragic way. A prominent Russian scientist […]
The current pandemic has seen many unfortunate things happen. While I have tended to focus on the economic side in my writings, it is because economics is one of the main reasons that lead to political and from that, inevitably social catastrophe, so in order to understand the process by which change not just happens, […]
The use of artificial intelligence and other forms of supercomputing is a major trend for the future that in combination with biometric means will likely reshape society in many different ways. One of those ways is in facial recognition technology, which has become far more accurate over the years owing to ‘machine learning. However, it […]
Is the world going to end? Possibly as we know it? A lot of people have this sort of thinking, and with good reason. However, as CNBC reports, some are going to very interesting measures to respond, and as such there has been an increase in sale of ‘survival’ homes. This was the year that […]
There are a lot of, frankly, crazy ideas associated with science. One needs only to think of the mad “Dr. Frankenstein” and his infamous monster immortalized in Shelley’s tale, or of the eugenic madman in The Island of Dr. Moreau, who creates his own race of mutants to rule over on an island, only to […]
