CALIFORNIA CRACKDOWN ON BENEFITS FRAUD SPARKS 72% PLUNGE IN PANDEMIC JOBLESS CLAIMS

https://www.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/bfmD873.jpg?itok=Wwzn7UPQ
So, what is going on?
The answer is simple:
It's fraud!
As Bloomberg reports, between mid-August and the first week of September, applications for PUA doubled in California to more than 524,000, far above claim levels when the federal program first launched in April, the state’s Employment Development Department said Thursday.
In addition, Bloomberg reports that California’s figures show a wide discrepancy with nationally-reported data on continuing PUA claims in California. While the federal Department of Labor reports that more than 6 million Californians are claiming PUA benefits each week...

...the state’s labor department shows that figure below 2 million, pointing to further data-reporting issues.
See Table:
https://www.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/2020-09-18_9-45-32.jpg?itok=m73RE-XJ
Some have suggested that the national figures may reflect states catching up with backlogs rather than representing the most recent levels of actual job losses.

"INFLATION" AND AMERICA'S ACCELERATING CLASS WAR
Those who don't see the fragmentation, the scarcities and the battlelines being drawn will be surprised by the acceleration of the unraveling...
Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,
I recently came across the idea that inflation is a two-factor optimization problem: inflation is necessary for the macro-economy (or so we're told) and so the trick for policy makers (and their statisticians who measure the economy) is to maximize inflation in the economy but only to the point that it doesn't snuff out businesses and starve workers to death.
Those who bought bonds and stocks and real estate--the right kind of assets--have scored enormous gains in wealth and income. There's just one little tiny problem with the right kind of assets: the vast majority are owned by the top 5% of households, with the top 1% owning 40% and the top 0.1% owning 20%--more than the bottom 80% own.
SEE CHART:
The top 1% now own more than the bottom 80%
https://www.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/wealth-inequality4-20%20%281%29_1.png?itok=XgxJYgbU
There aren't just wealth-income classes --those who own these assets and those who don't-- there are demographic and age classes, too.

"ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED" DEMOCRATS DEMAND EMERGENCY INVESTIGATION INTO DURHAM PROBE
What are they so worried about?
In August, Attorney General William Barr refused to withholding any report by DOJ watchdog John Durham before the November election - causing Congressional Democrats to froth at the mouth over an "October surprise" meant to hurt Joe Biden.
Durham was appointed by Barr to investigate the Russia investigators - including members of the Obama-Biden administration, the FBI and the DOJ.
Now, days after a top prosecutor on the Durham team resigned - reportedly over what she thought was "pressure from Barr to produce results before the November election," the Democratic chairs of four House committees have demanded an "emergency investigation" into Durham's probe, according to the Daily Caller.

YIKES! COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE (E1595)
Max and Stacy look at the collapse in demand in the commercial real estate sector as the asset class is redefined overnight due to lockdown and people working from home. They also look at the ballooning deficit as the game of Monopoly nears its end. In the second half, Max interviews economist Dr. Michael Hudson (michael-hudson.com) about the legacy of David Graeber. He notes that Graeber contributed an immense amount to the popular understanding of debt.
