8500+ Store Closures! Bankruptcies Rise, Layoffs Surge, Trucking Industry CHAOS!

Despite the obvious situation we are faced with today, many still ignore what’s going on. Seems rather unusual and perhaps upon closer inspection the truth is that people never learn. They always push themselves to the edge and will never stop that behavior no matter how many times they’re burned. Often we hear about how this time is different and that the subprime crisis will not happen again so no need to worry. But the truth is that a crisis is always being brewed in the PHD-lead laboratory they call financial investment firms. Not good.
