What is Your Definition of Do Nothing?

Nobody knows nothing.

I’m going to print this on a tee shirt.

In fact, I’m back.

I just did.

I watched a report this morning talk about how high gas prices are.

How high they’re going.

I watched a report about the backlog at the port of Los Angeles, and how the price of everything is going to go up.

Again.

And I wondered why we have a do nothing President with a do nothing Congress when it hit me.

Doesn’t it all feel like a plan?

Like someone with sour grapes is conspiring to make it all happen?

I mean, a spike in gas prices works mostly on speculation.

Futures traders in Chicago and NYC make bets on prices going up or down, and make money off the bets.

A smart President with access to a powerful PR machine would schedule a conference, get in front of the media and make a simple statement.

“American working people are hurting right now. I’m going to release supplies from the strategic reserve to help them at the pump.”

The speculation would drive prices down EVEN WITHOUT ACTUALLY PUTTING MORE GAS IN THE MARKET.

Just the idea of having more supply will lower prices, which in turn will allow more people to spend money on other goods over the holiday season, and have a positive impact on the economy.

Now if someone like me knows that, then I know smarter people than me know it.

The question must then be, why aren’t they doing it?

Is there some THING holding them back?

You know me.

I like to follow the money.

Who makes money when there is blood in the streets?

Right now, there is an entire industry being built on the internet.

An ecosystem independent from the banking and financial institutions controlled by old money in New York and Washington DC.

The more I learn about Blockchain and how to use it, the more I realize that it will be the biggest disruption…
