There was plenty to discuss earlier this week when I caught up with my good mate and co-author of the Bonner Denning Letter, Dan Denning. From my temporary digs in Sarasota, FL. and his Rocky Mountain bolthole in Colorado, we looked at rising prices across the land, compared past recessions to the Great COVID Crash of 2020 and touched on a new term that we think you’ll be hearing a lot more of in the future... “Climate Lockdown” We also spoke about the important difference between Huxlian vs. Orwellian dystopias and wondered which might be in store for us all next (and what we can do to avoid the fallout!)
