288 million people live in Indonesia, and it is very heavily dependent on imported oil.
Not enough foreign oil has been arriving in recent months, and now a crisis point has been reached.
It is being reported that Indonesia is currently experiencing a trifecta of “fuel shortages, blackouts and rationing”…
In Indonesia, fuel shortages, blackouts and rationing have fuelled public anger.
In Makassar, South Sulawesi, residents have reported shortages of cooking gas and gasoline, while taxi drivers protested against fuel rationing based on odd and even vehicle registration numbers.
Students also demonstrated in Yogyakarta against rising fuel prices.
At this point, the nation of Bangladesh is “suffering power shortages that have forced rationing and temporary closures at garment factories”…
Bangladesh, which imports more than 90% of the petroleum it consumes, is suffering power shortages that have forced rationing and temporary closures at garment factories.
Some factories switched to diesel as gas supplies tightened, only to be hit by rising diesel prices. Power cuts at one factory in Gazipur were occurring four or five times a day.
Civil unrest is going to be a major theme during the months ahead.
At this stage, that should be apparent to everyone.
But if you think that things are bad now, just wait until food shortages really start to kick in next year.
We are experiencing a global fertilizer crisis, a global fuel crisis, a Super El Niño and World War 3 all at the same time.
This is what a “perfect storm” looks like, and we are still only in the early chapters.
So buckle up and hold on tight, because we are in for a bumpy ride.
(AT SOME POINT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD INCLUDING THE US AND EUROPE WILL REALIZE AT SOME POINT THAT
ALL OF THIS HAVOC WAS DONE TO THEM BY ISRAEL FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THEY ARE TOTALLY INSANE.)

Number of single men reaches highest in US history: 30.4 million
More young men in America are remaining single than ever before, with the rate almost doubling over the last quarter century, according to concerning new data released earlier this week.
Statistics compiled by the Institute for Family Studies revealed that there were 30.4 million single men aged 18 to 39 in 2025 in the U.S., amounting to almost 10 million more bachelors than there were in 2000 (20.7 million). The Institute for Family Studies further estimated that there were 15 million more single men than husbands in this age group in 2025. In 2000, there was only a 2.6 million difference.
This rise in male singleness has translated to fewer married men. Over the last 25 years, the number of wedded men has plunged from 18.1 million to 15.4 million, a 15% drop.
Experts say the sinking numbers are extremely troubling for the future prospects of the country in a host of ways. Sociologists like Institute for Family Studies fellow Brad Wilcox point out that single men are “more likely to be lonely, prone to deaths of despair and unhappy,” adding that “it’s never good for a society to have large numbers of unattached, dispirited and unhappy young men.” Data shows that unhappiness is rising among single men, from 16% in 1980 to 23% in 2020. Comparatively, the rate of unhappiness among married men has stayed steady, hovering between 8%-7% over the same time span.

Private Credit Defaults Just Hit a Record High
Private credit defaults have officially reached a record. According to Fitch Ratings, the default rate rose to 6.3% in August, exceeding the previous record set only one month earlier. But the most important number may not be 6.3%. It may be Fitch’s 45%. And that reveals the bigger story, one about liquidity and tightening.

Monsoon Storms Target The Southwest US This Week
Arizona, New Mexico, and portions of Utah are targeted for monsoon storms expected to bring heavy rain and thunderstorms, triggering a flood threat for many residents until Friday.
(They need the rain but they need to dig trenches or swales to gather the rain and let it soak into the ground. Compaction and lack of plants with roots .keeps the ground from
absorbing the water. Instead it just washes off and floods the area.)
