The Fourth Turning: Why American 'Crisis' May Last Until 2030

[@kortyEdna825]

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

[@KaurKhangura]

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

[@brucemichelle5689.]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

The US economy cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenback. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's even possible. Someone is going to be left holding the bag...

Gold might crash in a liquidity crunch, but many precious metal holders are prepared for this and unlikely to be forced sellers. The paper market would tank and possibly collapse. Hearing from an experienced investor who has overcome adversity is motivating. It can be scary when your portfolio turns red, but if you've invested in strong companies, stick to your goals and continue growing them

[@foden700]

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

[@carssimplified2195]

2nd coming is in 2031. Book of enoch says 7000yr plan for humanity. 1 day is as 1000yrs to God, so 7000yrs = 7 days (i.e. 1wk). Crucifixion was 4000yrs (4 days) from Adam and Eve's eviction from Eden. 2031 would be 6000yrs (day 6) and the beginning of day 7 (millennial kingdom). ✊ Also, Acts 2:17 says "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people..." The "last days" of a 7 day week would be day 5, 6, and 7. Since day 7 is the millennial kingdom, the 2nd coming must be on day 6 (6000th yr). Just because we can't know the day or hour doesn't mean we can't know the month and year (Rev 9:15) Also interesting: 2+0+3+1= 6 And 2031 correlates with the year 6000 on hebrew calendar. 🤔 Lastly: 1 Corinthians 15:22 = universal reconciliation for all, not just Christians. Lake of fire and brimstone in greek literally refers to "crucible" used to refine gold. "Tormented forever and ever" is a mistranslation. A forgiving God doesn't torture someone who's wronged Him for eternity. All of humanity will live again. That's why it's good news!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap2riKlqr7Jqn6M

@Patrick McCallum Especially in the American Deep South. There the Democratic Party is the black people's party and the Republican Party is the white people's party, which insures big-city-style machine politics even in small towns. Machine politics fosters corruption and incompetence in public services because people can't imagine voting the differently. In a not-so-tribal setting, the solution for dealing with a corrupt or incompetent black pol is to vote in some white guy who promises reform... or vice-versa. Tribalism engenders bad politics and poor public services while giving economic edges to people who do not deserve those edges.

[@paulbrower4265]

@Kat Jasper Indeed, the French, Italian, and other resistance to the Nazis was nationalist in ethos. Where nationalism goes awry is when it becomes a pretext for aggression and oppression.

The sort of individual who isn't impelled to take apart The Fourth Turning's facile generalizations is not someone whose intellectual instincts promote confidence. The desire to fit everything into an all-encompassing system sometimes indicates inflexibility of thinking, resistance to conflicting facts, and a desire to fit everything into an all-encompassing system. Let's just say the myriad diasporas that occurred throughout our existence reduce the “saecula” to apophenia hopscotching through history. Despite the fact that the late 1990s were a period of broad-based prosperity, budget surpluses, and diminishing welfare reliance, the authors point to rising public indebtedness and expanding welfare dependency as signals of impending disaster. At the same time, they deny a decline in crime during the period. Just wrong. According to the authors' blind determinism, it is irrelevant whether or not Trump or Biden won the last election because of an ahistorical notion in the blind search for coherence with or without facts. Successful policymaking, necessitates intellectual agility and pragmatism, the ability to update your beliefs in light of new events and evidence, and an awareness of history as a series of contingent choices.

[@paulbrower4265]

Truth be told -- the "25-year depression" was only in stock-market valuations and in little investment in real estate. America grew its way out of the worst of the Great Depression mostly due to the formation of small businesses that in good times offer the least-attractive investment possible: any income is low-yield (for a small-business owner much of the reward is really for one's own toil), with prosperity available only in the long term, and that if something goes awry one can't sell it. By the late 1930's, economic conditions were clearly improving -- and in general better than in the late 1920's. People had more cars, refrigerators, and radios. People were more likely to have electric lighting and indoor plumbing. Real wages were much higher in part due to the minimum wage, in part due to the strengthening of unions, and in part because many marginal workers either retired (Social Security got elderly workers who were industrial accidents waiting to happen to retire) or to lengthen their formal education (high-school graduation became far more common). What did not improve much was housing. As for the stock market -- most people recognized that it was a capricious and unreliable investment. The few people still owning stocks cared more about dividend income than about valuation. It may have been better for them that valuations remained low. How well a Crisis goes depends upon how well the overall society meets it. The USA did far better than did Germany.

Neil Howe's work on "The Fourth Turning" is good and from what I have seen seems to be quite accurate. I just want to point out that he is not the first person to notice this pattern.

I would have said 3rd turning ended in 2001. After that year things started to change to the way it is now.

[@paulbrower4265]

2001 is roughly when Enrob Corporation collapsed (OK, I made that Freudian slip once and found it impossible to give up. 2001 is roughly the beginning of the final phase of the last 3T in which economic and political leaders promote a speculative boom that devours wealth while creating the illusion of economic progress. To enhance the illusion of prosperity, the Movers and Shakers promote increasingly-shady practices that eventually implode -- but people see paper profits. Meanwhile, investment in plant and equipment, which in normal times creates material prosperity including solid wages for working people and underpins a sustainable economy, falters. As early as 2005 I could see the packaging of fecal loans with fraudulent ratings as compelling evidence that the supposed Good Times were approaching an ugly end. Such ends in a financial panic that begins very hard times for most people. In the end the speculative boom that requires ever-rising prices in objects of speculation ends when there are no more suckers to buy in. People want to cash out, but nobody is buying in -- and nobody will buy in until the object of speculation is available for fire-sale prices without the smell of smoke. The Double-Zero decade is in many ways parallel to the 1920's, which had a similar pattern of illusory progress in economics. Dubya was in many ways a good parallel in eight years to the twelve Harding-Coolidge-Hoover years. The last years of a 3T typically cause the Crisis and make it as severe as it is.

The problems are (1) anyone can read into Howe/Strauss theory whatever one wants. I can imagine a KKK-fascist pig believing that this Crisis could result in the re-establishment of White Power as the cornerstone of American economic, political, and cultural life. A Commie could easily see this Crisis as the final struggle between plutocracy and Marxism-Leninism. (2) that the result of the Crisis is not clear until near the end. The American Civil War could have ended with Lincoln having to make compromises with the Confederacy to get a chance of winning the election (as in we will return to the Union, but you will return us 'our' slaves. The American Revolution could have ended as disastrously as did the revolution of Tupac Amaru II against Spanish rule in Peru. The alternative history novel The Man in the High Castle in which America is partitioned between the victorious gangsters ruling Germany and Japan has at least literary credibility. (3) about half the public would find the predicted consequences appalling (you mean, we don't get to abolish abortion and "gay marriage" and impose school prayer?"). Because there is now nearly a 50/50 chance of two very polar outcomes possible, any prediction of how this Crisis turns out has about a 50/50 chance of being wrong in general. (4) it might not be fun. The last Crisis Era had something happening that nobody could have foreseen in the 1920's: the Holocaust. Civilized people just didn't do such things any more because sophisticated people no longer saw religious identity as a cause of evil. Evil, whether the Nazis (or in a scenario possible in the 1920's, the KKK [which had many of the characteristics of fascism even before Mussolini coined the word fascismo] had about the same image of Jews that the Nazis had). Let's put it this way: there was nothing wrong with the Germans and Austrians in the 1930's and 1940's that Judaism would not have solved.

Yes, there are nukes, but the world's leaders know that any victory in the wake of a nuclear exchange will be hollow. Conquests will be meaningless. Hitler's Holocaust and Stalin's Holodomor were possible only because of extreme suppression of any news reporting of the mass killings. That is over. We have mass death due to a horrific plague. COVID-19 has already killed more Americans than wartime combat and prisoner custody except for World War II and the Civil War. If you see lots of masks on people and find lots of businesses closed -- that is because people are willing to take an economic hit rather than die of one of the worst viral infections ever known. The NEXT Crisis Era could easily have global warming as its cause. Climate change could make a huge part of the earth uninhabitable due to extreme combinations of heat and humidity in the densely populated Malay Archipelago, South and Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa now undergoing a population explosion. Sea levels can rise significantly, inundating some of the world's richest farmland. If you think Bolshevist expropriation of small farmers horrible, at least the Bolshevists allowed those small farmers to live as serfs on collective farms. "King Neptune" will not allow even that means of survival. So where do hundreds of millions of peasant farmers go? Food supplies will crash, and so will populations. At such a time, wars and revolutions will be particularly likely and especially horrible.
