RE: Has John Galt Left The Building And Taken The Workers?

On a related tangent, I was watching a video in which they discuss that what we are seeing with Russia and Saudi Arabia is a demonstration of who actually has power. Western countries, such as USA and the Eurozone, believe that finance is power. Russia and the Saudis are demonstrating that commodities are power.

Russians may not be able to export as much grain through sanctions. But, they won't starve. And, with all their natural gas, they won't freeze.

The Saudis may only have petroleum to export. But, it's an export any number of countries will buy. And, they can lower production to increase profits.

Europe may have massive financial markets. But, they can't eat Eurodollars.

Which brings us back to your post. These geniuses running financial markets feel all powerful. But, in reality, they're just middlemen. Without the imported commodities they rely on to live, they aren't so powerful. In this case, the commodity producers are John Galts quitting.

China is also in the same boat. The geniuses at the CCP are dependent on outside commodities for their power. Fortunately for them, Russia is willing to trade.

Something they all share in common is an inflated sense of control over reality. They believe they can shape and bend reality to their whims. That is until reality slaps them on the head. We see this with many modern college graduates, who consider themselves as a part of that class of people who run the world, at least until their student loans come due.
