Pensions – The Loaded Gun Before Us

 
Pensions on a knife edge, the black hole is there, not many can see it.

Looking down the barrel of a loaded gun, looking into the darkness, even the most acute vision, the most acute eyesight cannot see in the blackness. They have been building this story and preparing the people for this narrative to come.

Pensions are underfunded; governments around the world, businesses around the world, are having to quietly borrow Billions to support them, to pay them out to the people. For decades now, pension pots have been raided to support struggling businesses; they have been looted to pay for business expansion.

An underfunded and overexposed pension is a time bomb waiting to go off, it has been just a matter of time before the truth of it comes to light. Is the economic status, the world is now finding itself in, anything to do with this shortfall of funding? Are the insurance companies, who have underwritten the pension pots for years, now having to go to the governmental regulators looking for support, and quietly asking them to help manipulate the markets, to shore up, to stabilise, the industries who pay out the pensions?

With more and more people now claiming pensions around the world, the burden has become ever greater.

Are things now becoming so bad and so strained, that businesses, to hide their wrong doings, will use this pandemic to declare themselves insolvent, to declare themselves bankrupt?

In doing so they wave their responsibility to those, who have for decades, set aside money for their retirements. Is this a bleak picture?
Some may say so, but if we were not to know and the shock came of a sudden, what preparation would people have?

The world of economics and the world of dependency are changing every day now, and still people blindly believe in a state support system that is so indebted, so overburdened, that it itself is nearing insolvency. Could this pandemic, could this worldwide focal point be a way of masking, be a way of hiding, excusing, what will have to be done?

What signs should we look for?
Failure to repair roads; little or no upkeep to the towns, the boroughs, the cities, the states; less and less people seen in the shopping centres; banks closing their doors, switching us all to electronic currency; what signs will we see?

What signs are there now?

How bright do they have to be for people to see them?
