Why Our Economy May Be Headed for a Decade of Depression

.........Just open up the economy fully with zero government imposed restrictions. ..........

What you wrote above and what you have subsequently amended it to are two different things. The first thing you wrote, copied above, does imply Trumpian, globalist, heartlessness so I replied to that. What you subsequently amended it to does not.

No it does not. We were discussing current events and you extended "imposed restrictions" to mean all federal regulations not the current emergency restrictions. A clear case of you reading into my words what you want them to mean not my clear intent. I did not amend my position just tried to clear up your misreading. [/quote]

I read "Just open up the economy fully with zero government imposed restrictions" which means a lot more to me and, I suspect, most other people than to you.

You should follow your own advice and be a lot more clear in what you write. (My bold)

Closes with:

We are witnessing a momentous transformation of the world economy. Covid-19 was the trigger but the forces it is disrupting have been developing for a long time. Chief among those is the debt undertaken to perpetuate economic growth when common sense indicated it should have slowed or ended decades ago.

Energy is the economy and oil is the most important part of energy today. It is not surprising that oil should be the proverbial canary in the coal mine for the rest of the economy.

Oil prices are not returning to normal. Neither is the economy.

If Art is claiming it......it must be true.

Again you read what you wanted to read. You can deny it all you want but nobody doing an impartial review would see it your way.

American English must be much more different to English English than I thought in that case!!

In any case since you qualified the above post with " to conditions before the restrictions were bought in" in a subsequent post I see what you mean although I still might not agree with you.
