It's still a very busy travel day and can become utter chaos across the country if air traffic controllers choose then to call out sick.

Remember the shutdown in Dec 2019?

35 day shutdown from Dec 22 to Jan 25

I guess most people complete their Christmas travel before Dec 22

Edit: I hope every flight is grounded like Sep 11, I am cheering for utter chaos

Takes a few weeks for people to miss paychecks and then start calling out of work after the shutdown goes into effect, so I don't think that instance effected Christmas travel.

Conveniently enough though, just a couple few weeks after that, we started getting the coof videos out of China of people dropping dead on the sidewalk, and were locked down about a month later.

Monetary velocity came to a stop, money printer went brrr... trillions in debt refinanced and papered over at 0% interest along with a practice decoupling from China... all in an election year where a black swan was necessary to get Trump out of office so a vegetable could illustrate how fake and staged everything is.

The timing of this now just so happens to give people plenty of time to plan on not traveling, that combined with the spigot down to a trickle re: SNAP and other stuff would also strangle monetary velocity...

Riots in the streets over SNAP etc would keep people home exacerbating the strangle on velocity even further.... Maybe a kick of the hornets nest for good measure and arrest someone this week... NYC Mayor psyop in play? He just today won a DOJ referral...

Fed just announced QT ends 12/1...

Combine all this with much decoupling from China rhetoric, Trump meeting Xi at this very moment... and in the last few hours Trump announced nuke testing, giving SK nuclear submarines, and mentioned Taiwan at the photo shoot.

Also getting hot and heavy going into mid-terms re: unrigging the elections/gerrymandering... dominion voting just changed hands in a hostile takeover by a Trump loyalist...

Slow and painful to watch the appetizers come out and I've had a bellyfull of popcorn already... but the table is clearly being set for whatever the intel agencies are cooking up. I smell another big print and 0% rates again.

I'm normally more skeptical of your master plan theories, but I do feel like this administration came in with more of a plan than normal.

I don't think everything's as scripted as you seem to. It seems more likely that they prepared for lots of contingencies and have been more intentional about how they respond to speed bumps.

Intelligence agencies and think tanks planning things years/decades in advance isn't a theory, it's established fact, all that's left to speculation is what the factions are, the overall direction, and how much power is consolidated (if power is not consolidated its more chaotic since the enemy gets a vote)

They didn't rug Hillary's acceptance speech in 2016 without a lot of assets, but if it seems more organized now than term 1 I'd argue that's because power has been more consolidated... not a single democrat voting to end the shutdown isn't out of self-interest, seems to me like they're the controlled opposition (blackmailed, charges pending) that Republican's used to be.

I don't disagree that people are planning things far in advance and trying to implement them when they get the chance. Where I disagree is usually the degree to which what we see is part of a coherent scripted plan.

I also agree about the increased power consolidation, although I don't claim to understand why or how that happened.

I recommend the Q rabbit hole if you get some time, gives a taste of the scale, some of those posts are 8 years old now and things they hinted towards before they were in the Overton window and the direction things have gone since is mind melting.

Just a taste:
