The Expert Podcast

Is everybody out to get you?
The economy, the government, even your car? News articles came out this week about how the US economy is really just a house of cards ready to collapse. Anger is what's driving the US economy, according to Bloomberg. Deep-seated resentment towards a rigged system is making people artificially prop up the economy.

Do you see this happening in your world, in your finances? If you don't, other people are. Americans are continuing to ransack their retirement savings. A lot of the money going into the economy is coming from people plundering their 401K funds. So whatever business you're in, keep in mind that some of the income revenue might be, kind of, ghost income.

The last thing is your car now might be your enemy. In addition to that whole kill switch thing that they're trying to put into cars, they now want to put anti-speeding technology. The federal government wants it in new cars. They're urging—at least now just urging, not requiring—automakers to install speed assistance technology to, at minimum, warn a driver.

What does that mean? Well, the minimum is it warns a driver. At maximum, it means it shuts down the car or puts on the brakes. Be aware that there are more technologies being infiltrated into vehicles to shut you down if you're swerving, speeding, or if they want to do a kill switch. These are coming in future years for new vehicles.

I know you have an opinion about these things. Let us know in the comments what you think.
