The debt grows 5.5% annually while the economy crawls. We need 7%+ GDP growth - totally achievable with AI, robotics, nuclear power, and American talent. What's stopping it? Job-killing regulations that hit small businesses hardest. schiffsovereign.com/trends/wha

Elon Musk had the right idea years ago: every law should expire in 5-10 years. Bad laws die naturally, necessary ones get refreshed. Instead we got tariffs while our regulatory code grows like a cancer. America's problems are still fixable, but the window is closing fast. schiffsovereign.com/trends/wha

Today's America? Try starting a restaurant in California or a copper mine in Arizona (one company: 20+ years in permitting hell). Liberation should mean liberation FROM regulations. schiffsovereign.com/trends/wha

A heterosexual woman was denied her day in court simply because she wasn't part of the 'right' minority group. The Supreme Court unanimously said that's absurd. Discrimination is discrimination, not selective based on identity politics. schiffsovereign.com/trends/the

While everyone was watching the Elon vs Trump drama, SCOTUS quietly delivered a unanimous win for common sense. Even Justice Jackson agreed: discrimination is discrimination, regardless of who's being targeted. Sometimes sanity still prevails. schiffsovereign.com/trends/the

Treasury Secretary Bessent claims deficits are decreasing while we're already at $1.3 trillion in just six months this year. Rand Paul confirms the math doesn't add up - we're looking at $5 trillion more debt in just two years. schiffsovereign.com/trends/jam

America added $10 trillion to the debt in five years - for what benefit exactly? Dimon sees inflation ahead and warns the crisis could hit in six months or six years. The ship can still be turned around, but having a Plan B makes perfect sense. schiffsovereign.com/trends/jam

The government's spending is worse than a 'drunken sailor' because at least drunken sailors spend their own money. Interest payments alone now cost over $1 trillion annually and could hit $2 trillion by 2028. schiffsovereign.com/trends/jam

MSTR has invented metrics like 'Bitcoin Yield,' 'Bitcoin Torque,' and 'BTC $ Income' - which they admit 'is not equivalent to income in the traditional financial context.' Translation: it's not income, but we're calling it that anyway. Reminds me of WeWork's "Community-adjusted EBITDA" schiffsovereign.com/trends/thi

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is worth $118 billion, yet owns only $61.5 billion in Bitcoin. That means investors are paying TWICE the Bitcoin price just to own the stock. If you're willing to pay $210,000 for Bitcoin today, I'll gladly sell you some of mine. schiffsovereign.com/trends/thi

MSTR's 92-page presentation had ONE slide about their actual software business (which loses money) and 91 slides about Bitcoin. They're planning to raise $42 billion-- a number they picked as a joke. This is financial theater at its finest. schiffsovereign.com/trends/thi

Bond vigilantes are back, and they're not buying what Treasury is selling anymore. When the CEO who built JPMorgan into a $4 trillion giant warns of impending fiscal crisis, maybe it's time to listen. schiffsovereign.com/trends/jam

I'm pro-crypto because it means freedom from banks like Wells Fargo (poster child for theft) and Bank of America ($100+ billion in unrealized losses with YOUR money). But paying 2x for Bitcoin through Strategy stock? That's not freedom - that's just crazy. schiffsovereign.com/trends/thi

It's crazy how the GENIUS Act will turn crypto investors, i.e. guys who ordinarily hate centralized government financial assets, into indirect owners of Treasury bonds. schiffsovereign.com/trends/biz

The GENIUS Act is actually pretty clever - it turns crypto investors into Treasury investors, just as foreign investors are fleeing US government bonds. Clever financial engineering for sure. But it would be a lot better if they'd just cut spending. schiffsovereign.com/trends/biz

In 1941, Social Security was solvent over an 'indefinite' period'—essentially forever. By 1983, that changed to 'until 2057.' Now it's 2033. Every year that goes by without Congress making the necessary reform means that the eventual fixes will be more painful and severe. schiffsovereign.com/trends/thi

Social Security's trust fund will be completely depleted by 2033—just 8 years away. That means either massive benefit cuts, or adding $500 billion annually to the federal deficit. Both options are terrible, yet Congress does absolutely nothing. schiffsovereign.com/trends/thi

The media called 2020 protests 'mostly peaceful' while cities burned. Now they're saying only 1,363 murdered white farmers in South Africa isn't genocide. Same playbook, different tragedy. Don't trust your lying eyes, they'll tell you what to believe. schiffsovereign.com/trends/fiv

Reuters fact-checked Trump on South Africa land seizures, claiming farmers are just 'encouraged to sell willingly.' Three paragraphs later they admit the government passed a law to expropriate land. Championship level Orwellian doublespeak. schiffsovereign.com/trends/fiv

It only took five days after Moody's downgrade for investors to throw a fit, resulting in a meltdown trifecta—stocks, bonds, AND the dollar all tanked simultaneously. Investors aren't just shifting between US assets—they're fleeing America entirely. schiffsovereign.com/trends/inv
