In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and James Howard Kunstler discuss:
- The sorry state of the US political system
- From Covid to Epstein: can our “leaders” bungle even worse?
- Why Re-localization is the answer, whether we want it or not
- Why we’re never returning to “normal” as we knew it
Jim Kunstler returns to the program to report the latest view through is “Long Emergency” lens.
It’s a little scary: many of the trends he’s long been predicting have been suddenly accelerated by the events of 2020. Particularly his warnings that our urban & suburban lifestyle of mega-marts, McMansions and food deserts were going to start failing us, resulting in flight to rural areas.
As Jim explains here, re-localization of our economy and social networks is going to be the way of the future — whether we choose it, or reality forces it upon us.

The year 1971 saw the trajectories of nearly every major trend relative to our way of life shift massively.
This week’s guest experts, Ben Prentice and Collin, founders of WTFHappenedIn1971.com, explain how virtually all of these changes are a direct or indirect result of the monetary system “breaking” that year with the Nixon Shock and the end of the Bretton Woods System.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Axel Merk discuss:
- Fire resilience
- The Fed has no clue how to get out of the box it’s in
- The Fed is only looking at the immediate term; it leaves tomorrow’s problems to tomorrow
- Why the best short-term policy is a good long-term policy
Last week saw another FOMC statement, which Fed-watcher Axel Merk returns to the program to de-code for us.
In short, the Fed is giving itself more leeway to deal with a problem it has no clue how to fix. It is simply playing for time, trying to reassure us in the meanwhile that it has everything under control.
