Participanti) enrich insiders beyond their wildest dreams, insuring their dominance for a generation to come.
Hmmmm, which insurance company is going to “insure their dominance?” The proper word in this context is ensure.
Sorry but that’s a pet peeve of mine.
Back to the point of the post, we are really in uncharted territory. We might have an Argentina-style scenario here, but of course Argentina isn’t exactly a world power. The USA is a different animal. We have the world’s most powerful military and are basically untouchable due to our geography (oceans on either side, friendly/controlled neighbors to the north and south) and our nuclear deterrent. This is one porcupine that no one will mess with.
Maybe a Japan-style lost decade of deflation? Well, Japan is a nation of hard-working savers with a very conservative central bank and government. The USA is a nation of spendthrifts with a very liberal central bank and government, at least as far as spending goes. Also, Japan has an aging stable population while the USA has a growing young population thanks to our liberal immigration policy.
My bet is for a Katy-bar-the-door stagflation. Owe the world a bunch of money? No problem, just make the money worth a lot less. Of course we will have a stagnant economy at the same time since our economy is dependent upon credit and consumer spending.
Of course I could be wrong…

These things change you, and untimatley contribute to an early date with your maker, so his opinion mens Sh*& to me.
If you don’t know who Samuel Clemens was, then I’m hoping you weren’t born in the states or at least didn’t attend school here.
And if they deserve pensions because the work is dangerous, why aren’t we pushing for pensions for truck drivers or farmworkers (both more dangerous jobs according to that BLS data)?

give people 1600/month and they will survive on unemployment or
general assistance.It’s $3K/month to lock them up, if not more.
Not if you put them to work. Locking people up can prove quite lucrative, actually. Especially for the politically well connected.
