These people aren't wrong, though. Powell has printed $6T, and the DXY has gone nowhere but up, along with the SPY and the QQQ and the DJIA. Every single Thursday, we report more job losses than expected, and the market screams higher.

This is a ridiculous assumption. For two obvious examples, Art Bell attracted plenty of advertisers, as did early-day Howard Stern. Some advertisers do, and some do not. Don't lump them all into a single bucket. YouTube is creating an

You very well may be correct, but I'd like to point out that for a broader sense of "doomsday narrative", living in or near DC while the rest of the US crumbles would be a lot like living in Rome when the Germanic tribes were
