Recording on pleasant day around noon on Riverview Trail in Oregon. Temperature in the 60s. Had woken at 4am, taken a nap, first time outside that day. Planning 5-hour round trip to Medford tomorrow for inverter pickup. Searching for redwood trees across the street from trail location.

[0:05]hello fellow humans it's noon

[0:08]here very pleasant

[0:10]day it's first time outside today it's

[0:14]noon not sure about the temperature

[0:17]probably in the

[0:18]60s it's pretty lowkey day for

[0:22]me um I got up around

[0:25]4 maybe earlier I can't remember now but

[0:28]I just tinkered around my

[0:30]RV at some point I went back to sleep

[0:33]took a nap which was nice I was like

[0:35]maybe I'll just sleep all day today

[0:37]haven't done that in ages but didn't

[0:39]happen I'm

[0:41]up um feel pretty well

[0:45]rested I think tomorrow I'm going to

[0:47]drive 2 and 1 half hours into Medford to

[0:50]pick up my inverter they were very late

[0:53]getting it delivered

[0:56]so man like you know my lifestyle

[0:59]requires is me to send things to

[1:01]stores and I need to rely

[1:04]on the estimates they give me cuz I'm

[1:06]going to be driving for 5 hours

[1:09]tomorrow um to pick this thing up

[1:11]because it didn't come on time but I

[1:13]really need that inverter

[1:15]so very excited to get

[1:18]it um there's so we're going I'm on the

[1:21]Riverview Trail by the way and um we

[1:24]were on this Trail the other

[1:27]day and I couldn't find the redwoods but

[1:30]I know where they are now they were

[1:32]across the street from where I

[1:35]stopped and I can use guia GPS in order

[1:38]to make sure I find it today so we're

[1:39]going to go check those out and love to

[1:42]see some

[1:44]redwoods um there's something I wanted

[1:46]to talk about

[1:49]though so this morning I was watching

[1:52]YouTube something I don't do very often

[1:55]but um I was watching YouTube um these

[1:58]different videos

[2:00]that were really just compilations of

[2:02]Tik Tok

[2:04]videos and there are just these short

[2:06]clips of different

[2:08]people talking about their financial

[2:13]challenges everything

[2:16]from the struggles of owning a house to

[2:20]um the cost of groceries and gas

[2:22]and credit card de like a wide

[2:26]variety of different perspectives

[2:31]and I thought

[2:33]maybe maybe I can help you guys get a

[2:35]better macro view of this

[2:38]because every one of those clips focused

[2:40]on only one small part of the

[2:43]issue and you're not

[2:48]seeing you're not seeing the depth and

[2:50]you need to see

[2:53]it um a lot of them were

[2:55]saying how life was better 4 years ago

[2:59]implying that voting for Trump will make

[3:00]things better and it will

[3:02]not in fact a lot of this stems from

[3:04]that time period and we'll talk about

[3:07]it you do not want to vote for that man

[3:11]this is not a political argument for

[3:13]me I am trying to stem off so AO

[3:16]collapse as long as

[3:20]possible cuz I think it's

[3:23]unavoidable it's inevitable but it

[3:25]matters who we have in power

[3:28]because you saw Trump handled the co

[3:32]pandemic imagine

[3:34]him trying to steer us

[3:38]through the worst situation you can

[3:40]imagine cuz that's what I'm about to

[3:42]describe to

[3:45]you

[3:47]so let's just start

[3:50]there four years

[3:52]ago we increased our money supply by

[3:57]30% onethird of every sing single dollar

[4:01]that exists in the world right now was

[4:03]created 4 years

[4:05]ago think about

[4:10]that one out of every $3 did not exist

[4:15]until four years

[4:17]ago what do you think that does to our

[4:21]systems where do you think inflation

[4:23]came

[4:25]from and you must know that they knew

[4:28]what they were doing when they did that

[4:31]cuz they're not

[4:33]stupid you can't increase the money

[4:36]supply by a

[4:37]third and not know that there will be

[4:40]consequences from

[4:48]that all that free money they hand it

[4:50]out to people and

[4:51]businesses let come back to bite you in

[4:54]the ass right now got nothing to do with

[4:57]who's in power now and every thing to do

[5:00]with what we did

[5:08]then there are just so many different

[5:10]issues

[5:11]so hurricane

[5:14]Helen half of FEMA's budget has already

[5:18]been depleted because of that one

[5:20]hurricane half of it for their 2025

[5:23]budget we're not even in 2025

[5:26]yet if we have another one like that and

[5:29]it depletes their resources they will

[5:32]focus on

[5:34]emergency um life

[5:37]saving and that's it they won't help

[5:39]rebuild or anything like that frankly I

[5:42]don't know why FEMA helps with that at

[5:43]all it seems counterintuitive to me

[5:47]wasn't what they were created

[5:49]for

[5:51]um but the climate crisis that is

[5:54]accelerating I have been watching it

[5:56]from my RV it has been exceptionally hot

[5:59]the entire time I've lived in that

[6:02]thing

[6:04]and I've been paying attention to the

[6:06]news you know I

[6:08]see I see all the the natural disasters

[6:12]we're having excuse me that was my

[6:16]neighbors hiking the same Trail I made a

[6:19]point of pointing out that that dog's

[6:21]been barking at me I presented it in a

[6:24]nice way I was like he's been barking at

[6:25]me he knows who I am

[6:29]he didn't respond to

[6:34]that anyways

[6:40]sopa climate crisis right so these

[6:45]disasters are going to keep increasing

[6:47]this is inevitable okay this is what's

[6:49]been happening for years this isn't

[6:51]shouldn't even be

[6:52]controversial it's pretty obvious right

[6:55]at this point do we all

[6:58]agree so if we have a couple of

[7:00]incidents like that in one

[7:04]year FEMA doesn't have the budget to

[7:06]handle

[7:08]it yes the government can give them more

[7:11]money but now consider

[7:14]this our government debt is at all-time

[7:17]highs

[7:19]obviously you can increase the money

[7:21]supply by a third not dramatically

[7:23]increased that

[7:24]debt Consumer

[7:27]Debt there's over a trillion dollar in

[7:29]credit card debt right now and defaults

[7:31]are

[7:32]increasing analysts are now saying that

[7:34]they expect defaults to keep

[7:36]increasing they weren't saying that a

[7:38]year

[7:39]ago but it was obvious even

[7:42]then we're in a housing

[7:45]bubble the most dramatic one we've ever

[7:47]had that will dwarf what happened in

[7:50]2018 I'm

[7:53]serious investors went in and bought all

[7:55]the houses after 2018 only exasperating

[7:57]this current problem we have

[8:00]so many of our

[8:01]problems are because we keep making them

[8:05]worse because every time we have a

[8:07]crisis we don't solve the underlying

[8:10]issue we put on a

[8:14]Band-Aid Kick the Can down the

[8:17]road and we get an even worse

[8:21]crisis

[8:27]so we weren't better for you years ago

[8:31]we might have had a few more

[8:33]resources those are gone

[8:37]now when these things start

[8:40]to happen they're going to happen in

[8:43]quick Su

[8:45]succession let's you can take any one of

[8:48]them that's not even all of them we

[8:50]haven't even talked about AI or the job

[8:52]market or

[8:54]um the fact that this is a global

[8:57]problem

[9:00]you need to hear me on this it doesn't

[9:03]matter which one is first that's why I'm

[9:05]not predicting anything I don't have

[9:09]to take the housing

[9:11]market if that

[9:13]crashes people lose their homes people

[9:16]lose their Investments they can't pay

[9:18]their credit cards then more people

[9:20]default on that it just borrows out of

[9:23]control the government tries to fix the

[9:26]problem they don't have the money then a

[9:29]natural disaster

[9:32]hits then what

[9:37]happens and what if we have another

[9:40]pandemic do you think that that's not

[9:44]likely I bet you there are governments

[9:46]out

[9:49]there when things get bad

[9:52]enough when there's no hope of salvaging

[9:55]the system

[10:00]anything can happen I'm not predicting

[10:03]anything not a conspiracy theorist I'm

[10:07]looking at the systems I'm an Integrated

[10:09]Systems thinker and I see the entire

[10:11]world that way 7 months of videos show

[10:14]you just how much so I will go around a

[10:18]spiderweb in the forest because I

[10:21]recognize it as a

[10:25]system from the smallest scale to the

[10:28]largest I am

[10:30]watching and you guys are this

[10:33]world

[10:34]up so I moved into an RV I came out to

[10:37]the coast of

[10:41]Oregon and I'm doing everything in my

[10:43]power to

[10:47]prepare because I know how you guys

[10:53]are you're going to vote for that stupid

[10:57]man and you're just going to accelerate

[10:59]it you're going to make it worse

[11:02]because that man is incapable of

[11:06]solving

[11:10]anything he cannot solve anything yes I

[11:13]almost tripped it's w out here by the

[11:18]way

[11:21]um I think we might need be near them so

[11:24]I just might have to pause this all I

[11:27]know is it's a across the street and I'm

[11:30]pretty sure it's

[11:35]here would have expected it to be

[11:38]marked hey I see a trail

[11:41]here all right let's

[11:44]see who would think they would Mark

[11:48]The

[11:50]Fabulous redwood trees of Oregon maybe

[11:53]it's down here where this car is we're

[11:54]going to go check

[11:59]so I'm just trying

[12:01]to trying to get you guys to see what's

[12:03]happening here look at the

[12:06]patterns pay

[12:08]attention and don't don't vote to make

[12:11]things worse it's the worst thing you

[12:14]can

[12:15]do cuz you're just going to cause your

[12:17]own selfs suffering I'm going to be

[12:19]prepared no matter what you do but will

[12:22]you

[12:23]be cuz whatever happens

[12:29]when collapse happens you are going to

[12:31]be stuck

[12:32]there wherever you

[12:34]are and you're going to build a

[12:36]community out of necessity around you

[12:40]cuz it will come down to

[12:44]survival and that will Define you for

[12:46]the rest of your life

Summary

rswfire records from the Riverview Trail on a pleasant day around noon, having woken at 4am and taken a nap. He plans to drive 2.5 hours to Medford tomorrow to pick up a delayed inverter delivery. After watching YouTube compilations of TikTok videos about financial struggles, he provides a macro analysis of interconnected systemic issues.

**Key points covered:**

- **Money supply expansion**: One-third of all dollars were created 4 years ago during COVID response, causing current inflation

- **FEMA budget depletion**: Hurricane Helen consumed half of FEMA's 2025 budget before the year even started

- **Debt crisis**: Government debt at all-time highs, over $1 trillion in consumer credit card debt with increasing defaults

- **Housing bubble**: Current bubble will dwarf 2008 crisis, worsened by investor purchases after 2008

- **Systemic cascade risk**: When one system fails, it triggers failures across interconnected systems

He emphasizes viewing these as integrated systems rather than isolated problems, warning against voting for Trump who he sees as incapable of managing complex crises. He positions himself as prepared for collapse while encouraging others to recognize the patterns and prepare accordingly. The recording ends as he searches for redwood trees across the street from his location.
