lol, liquidity crisis is everywhere..apart from China and Arabia.

So yes I do not care if you snort cocaine with your croissants in the morning. US economy is extremely doomed, while the rest of the world is in very bad shape.

this is exactly how capitalism works. Banks print money and make business and consumers dependent on credit then they close the tap...and collect everybody assets.

The slowdown in Germany (and the rest of the EU is worse!) has also accelerated in the last 2+ months!

They are worried now!

I think the big printing presses are already warming up !

Here and in the US!

Reset can only be done AFTER the collapse, not before!
Until then its lying and printing only.

And now comes BREXIT for EU in addtion - NOT GOOD !

You have to laugh at the people gung ho about the economy because people are still shopping at stores. No shit. If they weren't, we wouldn't be crashing, we'd be crashed. People need stuff so they buy it.

Alot of that stuff is put on credit cards. More debt. Nearly all car sales. Debt. Mortgages. Debt. People are buying crap they dont need on credit everywhere. Debt keeps the economy moving.

People are falling behind on car payments, house payments, credit cards. Most people live check to check and barely make it. Its all a game. The economy will be amazing until the day it isnt. Then everyone says, but it looked so great, how? Silly game.

It's a mystery to me,why can't it just go on as is ad infinitum?

1st world countries ie USA,Japan,Switzerland and Eurozone etc gets to print fiat as fast as the presses can roll all year long and distributes said cash at 0% interest to elites and companies for share buybacks etc and everybody claims profits at year end as markets hit record highs.

Yet if a 3rd world shithole tries the same tactics ie Venezuela,Zimbabwe their economies are destroyed?

Double standards?

People's attitudes toward shopping having definitely changed since I graduated from University in the late 80s. I remember my first job working with middle- aged coworkers who were so proud they didn't want anyone to know they sometimes shopped at Zellers, (Canadian department stores similar to Walmart). One woman told me she'd be embarrassed if people knew she shopped at Zellers. In the 80s everyone was shopping at expensive stores and trying to seem rich, they called it "conspicuous consumption". I remember people insulting badly dressed people by saying they looked like a "Walmart shopper".

NOW, people don't seem embarrassed at all about shopping at Walmart or other cheap stores. They're proud of NOT spending money. They even shop at thrift stores.

Things have definitely changed so much since the 80s. People have changed their attitudes so much.

This has been building for years now...I suspect that the only way out is that if the rumors of President Trump working on some kind of financial reset are true we might have a chance...but what that would look like is uncertain and it is still likely many would be crushed...

I have a buddy who owns a door and window company. Lots of orders coming in from contractors who have reached the stage of building where they are ready to install the doors/windows but many are telling him they don't have many contracts on the books yet for next spring...but this probably varies area to area...I'm reading articles that Manhattan real estate is tanking but you could make the argument that it had become way over priced and New York's high taxes are keeping prospective buyers away...

Here's an update on your "people are falling behind on house payments" comment from CoreLogic which I quote at way less than 50%:

"As of September 2018, the serious delinquency rates for Federal Housing Administration (FHA), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and conventional loans were 3.7, 1.9 and 1.1 percent, respectively (Figure 1). The serious delinquency rate dropped significantly for all loan types in September 2018 compared with September 2017. These rates represent an 11-year low."

Note, an eleven year low.
