WHAT IS OIL EXPENSE INDICATOR?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/12/oil-economy-idAFL6E7J42KO20110812

MY RULE OF THUMB:

THE MOMENT CRUDE OIL GOES ABOVE $80/BARRELL, ECONOMY STARTS SHRINKING DUE TO ENERGY STARVATION.


Reuters article from August 2011:

Meaningful Quotes:

* Oil cost relative to GDP well above affordable level
    * Oil price x consumption / GDP "critical" above 5 pct
    * Previous breaches of 4.5 pct have brought recession
    * Oil prices must fall far, fast -- and then stay low



"There is still a chance that oil prices will go down very
significantly, and that could be a strong support to the
economy. But if prices stay near $110 per barrel until the end
of the year, we will have a major problem by the start of 2012,"
he said. 
    "We either get sharply lower prices or a recession that will
bring down prices. Either way, oil prices must come down."

DEFINITION OF DE-DOLLARIZATION

  DEFINITION OF DE-DOLLARIZATION De-dollarization is the process by which less goods and services are shipped to the West for each dollar created in Eurodollar shadow banking. China and India are trading with dollars via the Eurodollar system. The only people benefitting from this are the Bankers, but NOTHING is being shipped to USA from this trade. The whole point of RESERVE CURRENCY is to receive SOMETHING REAL FOR DOLLARS on computers. China and India are using the Eurodollar System which has enabled the world to use USD without shipping anything to USA. THIS IS DE-DOLLARIZATION.

INFLATION WILL SUBSIDE IN ....2035

TWITTER THREAD HERE Thanks to Tom again for these supply chains links. The content is the best explanation why supply chains keep breaking down and there is absolutely no chance of subsiding inflation (meaning fixing supply chains) until 2035 the earliest. 1/ thread Incora’s bankruptcy sends a warning signal to aerospace supply chains. Supply chain and caught between supplier and customers supply chains. And the financial squeeze. https://supplychaindive.com/news/incoras-bankruptcy-aerospace-supply-chains/652433/ Incora has 7000 suppliers and 8400 customers. From 2020-2023 two problems occurred: 1) Delivery time doubled from 9 to 18 months from 50% of goods. 2) Higher price inputs from rise of prices of raw materials, which they couldn't pass on to customers as they have long term contracts. 2/ Okay, now SCALE IT UP folks, SCALE IT UP. There are 334 million businesses globally. To repeat: There are 334 million businesses globally. 3/ Almost all of them are having the exact same pro...

CAESAR PUTIN & HOLY HEAVENLY RUSSIA

 After my thread about Ukraine viewed 677 times thus far , here's another thread about what is going on in Caesar Putin's mind, as he saw Milosevich fall from grace for failing to achieve something for Holy Heavenly Serbia. Twitter thread here. HTML thread on Thread Reader App here. European Woke Elite is surprised they are even talking about war, let alone imminent Invasion. This is what happens when regarding theology as useless. #krisonomics understands it, because I see it all theologically, and so I explain it to Twitter friends. 1/ Analysts cannot even fathom as to how 190 thousand Russians readily accept to go and invade another country and their mothers and families just....watch tv and drink vodka uncaring about their sons dying. 2/  Western Elite and analysts think that all Russians are like the ones in downtown Moscow or St. Petersburg, in the same way that they thought that Serbs in 1992 are like Norwegians. They disregard entirely the Theology of Christian Jihad w...
