1.? Does slavery exist in the Western World?
Yes, but in bits and pieces, like women in places like Afghanistan, perhaps some people under the control of drug gangs, and political prisoners in China who are forced laborers.
2.? Will the defection of Tulsi Gabbert to Trump change the results of the presidential election?
No, she¡¯s only a minor player in the big game, like RFK, jr.
3.? ?Will a Third World War break out in the next year?
It will take a few more ?years, unless Putin starts using nukes as a last-ditch effort to end his Ukraine war immediately.
4.? Should the US defend Taiwan against China?
We should, but for all practical purposes it would be futile, as are our involvements in Ukraine and Gaza.
5.? What do you anticipate will cause the next economic collapse?
Devaluation of the US dollar against other currencies, brought on by federal overspending, causing a massive transfer of wealth from the dollar to property and other types of assets as the Fed sends interest rates back up to double digits (beyond their peak of 20% in 1980), in a futile attempt to combat inflation, while the Harris administration prints even more money to keep unemployment from rising to over 25% (as it was in 1932, two years after FDR was elected). ?
Harris probably really believes her campaign claims that her administration ¡®beat inflation,¡¯ since she hasn¡¯t ever mentioned that inflation was really controlled by the Fed raising interest rates to the highest level in decades to keep inflation from breaking loose (as it almost did in the UK). The Biden administration has no control over the Fed, and has been spending like mad, increasing the money supply, while the Fed tries to keep the money supply contained. ?
If Harris gets a Democratic majority in Congress and doles out money to the middle class (as she is promising, to buy votes from the economically illiterate), the resulting inflated money supply will kick in just as the multi-trillion Bidenomic spending bills from 2020 kick in, and the combined overspending will send US inflation through the roof while other countries are controlling their spending, sending the US dollar sharply downward.?
