The Causey Consulting Podcast

"We want them to have full faith and confidence in the banking system... there's a select crowd of people that are on the institutional side and if they wanna understand this, they're gonna find a way to understand it." -Gary Cohn at the FDIC SRAC meeting, November 2022.

Key topics:

✔️No more bailouts = bail-ins. Guess who the unsecured creditor is? You!
✔️Rather than using the abstract idea of taxpayer money and God knows what else, let's just clearly shift the risk to John & Jane Q. Public. 
✔️"Now, Wall Street really has full access to your deposits." So that's great. 😣
✔️"Bank of Cyprus depositors lose 47.5% of savings."
✔️At 12:35, the Kitco video shows you exactly what the elites think of the general public! You don't need to know. The public is ignorant. They get financial info and news from tweets like total idiots.

In a recent video, Russell Brand jokes about robots escorting you back to your dead-end job. And it certainly made me wonder: is the future filled with dead-end jobs? Is that what we all have to look forward to? And what constitutes a dead-end job in modern times?

In 2014, Glenn Greenwald published No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State. The book became a NYT Bestseller but now, almost a decade later, does anyone care?

On January 28th, Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen published the video "Stop Celebrating Stupidity | The Rise of Anti-Intellectualism," which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmFn619GnrI.

Are we celebrating stupidity? Have we descended into anti-intellectual madness these days?

Key topics:

✔️ At 7:28, I believe he hits the nail on the head when he talks about the attitude of curiosity.
✔️If we are celebrating stupidity, who benefits from that? Because you can rest assured: someone does.
✔️It seems like the media plays fast and loose with the term "expert." IMO, the notion of an expert or even an economist has become: this person is willing to say what we want them to say and nothing more. 😣
✔️"The world is a magnificent place." Yes, it is!

I've reported for months and months that RTO was and is an inevitable conclusion, IMO. I don't agree with it, but I don't think it's fair to put out hot air and hopium just to get likes and shares.

Key topics:

✔️ With more and more layoffs, how long can people hold out for a fully remote role? Let's be real here.
✔️ You're being told that remote work = bad and companies still "allowing" it are in financial trouble whereas companies that have demanded RTO = good and still thriving.
✔️The issue is not productivity and never has been, IMO. With that said, it certainly has not helped that people will go on social media and brag about goofing off.  Doing that is like loading a cannon and pointing it at yourself.
✔️There are areas of childcare and eldercare deserts. Depending upon where you live, certain facilities that were open in 2019 may not even exist anymore. How would you handle that scenario?

On January 25th, Russell Brand published the video YOU WILL OBEY. As I've said before - in my mind, living situation feudalism + workplace feudalism = feudalism.  It's being trapped, full stop.

The attitude appears to be: sit down, shut up, and just do what you're told. Go back in the office, sit in the cube farm, and hush. Are you paying attention to the things that will truly matter in your life or are you goofing off with silly nonsense? Wakey-wakey. 👀 Stay alert.

✔️Back in Saturday Broadcast 6, I warned you about PIPs and employers who want to shove you out the door. Now the MSM is finally  telling you!
✔️Shadows of the 2008 housing market? Say it ain't so!
✔️More and more layoffs. We're getting weird, conflicting stories of: workers' market and tons of open jobs yet ha ha, not really. 🤦🏻‍♀️
  ✔️Around here, when there's a knock at the door or the bell rings - is it a person or is it livestock? One never knows. 🐏

A market "glitch." The rich folk moving their money. Central banks buying up gold.

Strap in, put on your tinfoil hat, and let's take a look at this. Because to me: it doesn't seem good.
