Teetering on the Brink of the Abyss

[US]America is in the grip of the “Great National Hysteria.” The “national madness” rampaging through the country is far more deadly than the coronavirus will ever be.

But our editor warns that we’re only starting to see the toll the feds’ response to the coronavirus pandemic will take on the American economy.

Far from being through the worst, America is just teetering on the brink of the abyss…

Our editor believes the C-virus poses no real danger to the nation. But despite this, the “Great National Hysteria” about the coronavirus continues. Costs – measured in lives, jobs, and businesses – continue to mount. And America just became a real bad bet.

While the police ride up to investigate the attacks on his ranch, Bill has his say on the extreme measures taken by global authorities against the coronavirus… Universal Lockdown was bad medicine… bad law… and bad government, he says. And it will lead to the biggest financial loss in American history.

As longtime Diary readers know, our editor is an out-and-out goldbug. And he’s not the only fan of the yellow metal here at Rogue Economics. In his weekend guest essay, our world-traveling colleague, Tom Dyson, tells us why he’s “all-in” on gold.
