I'm convinced that 1. USA is about to experience dramatic inflation 2. US Stock market is an overvalued bubble

Not sure what to keep my retirement fund in if not those though :c

The entire world will experience dramatic inflation around 2040 when population decline starts spiraling down the population side of GDP shrinkage.

Maybe its just because I grew up on rhetoric of population crisis and malthusian collapse but shrinking population is one issue I genuinely can't bring myself to care about.

Shrinking population as such might not be terribly on an individual perspective.

Aging population and a significant decrease in per capita productivity. Well that’s not great for anyone..

The interesting one is which technologies we won’t be able to support because of missing workers in the supply chains.

I'm much more worried about war or climate change's impact on supply chains.

The world will be too old to go to war I’m guessing.
