INGERSOLL: America Desperately Needs A ‘Great Reset.’ Do We Have The Guts?
Greetings, Dear Reader,
Once again, I will be off the rest of the week. I will see you next Monday!
Until then, Merry Christmas!
Also, can we get a little revolution soon, please?
THE GREAT RESET WE NEED
As we discuss this, I want you to remember a few key things.
Despite what the “GDP line goes up” people say about immigration, the economy, trade, and so on, what actually matters is simple enough for uneducated rubes like us to understand easily.
All that matters is: guns, food, water, shelter and energy.
Do we have what we need to build shelters for our people? Do we have water, food and energy? Can we reliably produce and distribute all of it?
Do our guns work? Do our planes and bombs and tanks work? Are we capable of producing more?
Finally, does anything outside of these things really matter to our survival as a nation?
To the degree that we require trade deals — as in they might be a necessity for survival purposes — and therefore durable, external relationships, they would be for rare-earth minerals. That’s not much of a problem.
There are a handful of industries we’d need to reshore that we deliberately externalized as a result of policy decisions, but that’s not an impossible task either, given a decade or two. Machining, chemical production, manufacturing, then some tech production.
It turns out that within the territorial structure of the United States, we have an abundance of everything we need to pretty much sustain all these things in perpetuity.
Which brings me to the next step: America’s great reset.
