Important announcement: the West economy has officially run out of steam.
Governments have officially killed it and we're about to enter great depression levels of hardship and this time, it's going to be so much worse than one century ago because everything that worked in favor of western countries back then, we have none of those positive conditions and many new negative bullshit that were unthinkable back then.
I'll post below in different posts a report of the situation on the ground.
1. Production is stopping. The energy crisis has hit bullshit levels that companies are not only NOT investing in equipment or extra people, but also they are straight up cutting capacity, canceling projects and even reducing skeleton crews.
Factories are effectively shutting down everywhere in the west and expansion projects are being cancelled, including big traditional names that shouldn't during a downturn (consumer staples).
Expect shortages soon as money printing will make it worse.
