When economic activity is booming, demand for commodities such as oil, copper and lumber goes up and that generally causes prices to rise. But when economic activity is slowing down, demand for such commodities falls and that generally causes prices to decline. In recent weeks, we have witnessed a decline in commodity prices unlike anything that we have witnessed in years, and many are concerned that this is a very clear indication that hard times are ahead for the global economy.

First off, more than likely the Fed will increase interest rates at their December meeting (Dec. 19th). Secondly, the massively hyped G20 meeting later this month will be nothing more than a photo-op, leading to automatic escalation of the trade war in January 2019.

AYFKM?!!<br /><br />Meanwhile, back in the real world, things are descending rapidly into collapse mode. Let's look at some stories.<br /><br />Smoke days are now California’s snow days<br />http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/11/smoke-days-are-now-californias-snow-days.html<br /><br />Northern California had some of the worst air quality in the world at the end of this week, with levels of hazardous airborne particulate soaring. With that has come a variety of public-health moves to keep residents safe in the region’s most populated areas. There have been widespread school and university closures. Many businesses have urged employees to work from home. Some public transit in San Francisco has been made free, in an effort to keep people inside as much as possible if they must commute.<br /><br />In a region whose weather is usually pretty temperate, smoke days have become the Bay Area’s version of snow days. But instead of a joyful respite from work, wildfire smoke mixes a blizzard’s large-scale logistical nightmares with the anxiety of worsening climate change and a class divide that plagues American public health. Three of the five largest fires on record in California have occurred in the past three years, all in the northern part of the state. For the region’s residents, smoke days won’t go away once the Camp Fire is contained. [more]<br /><br />[remember when I brought up the Insurance Industry and climate change?
