The original airing of grievances was written in 2016, I figure it might be time to update things. I first wrote about Festivus back in 2010, so this is a tradition. I have added a few more things to complain about.
Festivus and the Financial Airing of Grievances
We have put up the Aluminum Pole. It has no distracting tinsel. Now it is that time in Festivus for the Financial Airing of Grievances. There have been a lot of things that got on my nerves this year. So listen closely. Please don’t make me repeat myself!
- What the hell is going on in 2024? Tariffs? President Trump claiming that Canada is going to pay them? Isn’t there a trade deal here?!? Thanks to this, the Canadian dollar is at 70 cents US level, and Inflation looms due to these tariffs. WTF?
- Why isn’t my knee working? OK, I had to have another operation, which seems to have fixed things a bit more, but why? This isn’t financial, but it still upsets me a great deal!
- Interest rates are dropping? Real estate folks want them back at near ZERO, but that is INSANE.
- Bitcoin is now over $100,000 in value? How?!?! Sorry I blinked now it is below $95K
- CRA & Patience? I’ll give you patience! Hurry up!!!
- Shrinkflation? That is just media-double talk, we are getting screwed by the Oligarchs running the Grocery racket here in Canada. Yeh, I said Oligarchs.
- AI Written Financial Articles, what the heck is that about? If I wanted to know what R2D2 thought about the market, I’d ask him!
Next Year, Better be Good!
This year was not great. Let us hope that next year is a better year. Otherwise, I will have a longer list for the financial airing of grievances for next Festivus!
Next, financial feats of strength!
Let's rumble!
