Bloomberg. It's only a "hypothesis", though, he says, designed to spread "calm" and not "panic". Good luck with that.

But, enough!

As long as the banks work, and commercial paper flows, do we need the speculation? Probably not, for now. Who knows, though.

OK, sunny day, gotta go paint!

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
