Summary
Phil draws parallels between the current period and 1960s America: both driven by ever-increasing land prices and rising inflation from war spending. The 1960s became progressively more violent; 1968 is considered one of the most violent years in US history. September 11 political violence this year: 24 years from 9/11 (144 months × 2). 9/11 = planes into buildings; 60 years prior (1941) = planes into ships. 2031 = 360 months from 9/11. US unemployment benefit applications rising to highest since 2020. Auto loan market stress beginning (Tricolor Holdings bankruptcy). JPMorgan planning the “biggest office building in London” (Canary Wharf) — a reliable sign of a real estate top. Gen Z chasing dividend ETFs backed by complex derivatives.
