Here in the US, due to seriously high inflation, the Fed is raising interest rates to try to get very high inflation under control.
The Fed talks about achieving a so called "soft landing". What does a "soft landing" mean?
First of all, it means no recession.
And it means that high inflation has been reigned in, at least to some extent.
Also, it means that major US markets, such as the stock market, will not have a big sell off, which always accompanies a recession.
This is the scenario that a soft landing alludes to.
Basically, a soft landing means the status quo, business as usual.
This sounds like a stock market subject, ie., Will there be a soft landing for the US economy, or not?
This sounds like it would be a subject that people who enjoy studying economics would enjoy.
But actually, this subject is a very deep subject that will impact all Americans. It is not just a question of Will we have a soft landing?, Or Will
there be a recession in the US?
These questions are what most Americans see as Economist questions. Discussions for the upper class, the wealthy Americans to ponder. About seemingly
academic discussions that have little to do with most Americans day to day struggles in the US.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Without discussing here, Will there be a soft landing, or not? Will there be a recession in the US, or not?, Let's look at what these questions
really refer to:
Let's assume that there will be a soft landing in the US, as the Fed hopes for. What will this really mean for the average American?
This is the real question. Not if Will we have a soft landing, or not?
Scenario A: There will be a soft landing.
This means that, other than inflation being brought down some, there is no recession, and the major markets, such as the stock market, will emerge
unscathed. In other words, back to where we were before. Back to the status quo. No major economic nor stock market shocks. This is what the wealthy,
and the ruling class hope for.
So we are back to square one again. Rampant price gouging by the corporations. Rising inflation (again). Housing crisis. Basically, all the problems
that we had before. Trying to make ends meet, corporate greed, Not being able to get ahead, Companies fighting unionization at all costs,
The forcing of the middle class into the low class. This will especially impact Generation Z, X, and the Millennials. They will have no hope of
finding good jobs. They will have no hope of getting a union job. Basically, the companies will be out to exploit them. As usual. They will have no
hope of buying a home, nor buying a new car. No hope that a big industry will set up in their hometown. Mostly low paying service jobs. Same as
before. Nothing will have changed, except for more Americans finding themselves in the lower class. These are the real ramifications of the question,
Will we have a soft landing?
Scenario B: No, we will not have a soft landing. We will have a hard landing.
What does this mean? This means that we will have a recession in the US. Maybe even a great depression. The stock market crashes. The economy crashes.
The wealthy take huge hits to their personal fortunes. This would be more like a sea change for the American economy. A reset, if you will.
This is really the only scenario that allows for popping the huge inflationary bubbles in such markets as the stock market, the housing market, the
auto/vehicle market, health care, etc. As a matter of fact, this is the only hope for the younger generations in the US.
One can easily understand the poor work ethic among the younger generations. They know that they cannot get ahead anyways under the current conditions
in the US. Part of the NWO? Apparently. Small upper class, small middle class, big lower class. This is what we are coming to.
