I'm not an economist either, but think I can present a semi-valid opinion. You see, I've been up against hard times that would take the average person out permanently. You don't know the times I was right on the
edge of declaring bankruptcy only to work myself out of a bad situation. Bear in mind, I left home at a very early age and had to literally build myself up
without any kind of support system. So, I've never been bankrupt; never failed to pay a bill; the only time a check ever bounced on my account, it was the bank's error not mine. My credit score stays above 800 most of the time and my humble adobe is paid for. It's not like I'm blowing smoke on this.
All kinds of countries are picking sides as we enter a major world war. Just like Vietnam when the U.S. supplied weapons and expertise, we
WILL eventually get sucked into war. Our leaders may deny it and say it isn't in the tea leaves; however, the decision is made without their input many times and this will be one of them. Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Syria, North Korea, China are either engaged in war or planning it. Saudi Arabia is about to take sides in the assault on Ukraine
AND Polish, Czechs, etc. are finding their way onto the battlefield in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
At home immigration, the unspoken race war, the deteriorating economy, allegations of fraudulent elections, and the arming of regulatory agencies with weapons of war whereby to threaten the American people is painting a bleak picture for our future. Regulatory agencies are being empowered by the courts to the point that having a federal legislature is strictly for show. Most laws are being made by presidents and regulatory agencies with the courts disenfranchising the taxpayers and subjecting them to tyrannical rule. We can choose to be controlled by the inevitable
OR we can elect to do something about it.
The sheeple may elect to do the pee test, blood test, hair sample, criminal background check, MVR check, and financial records check before getting their National ID Card. They may apply for an occupation license, hunting license, fishing license, and be proud to be a card carrying, tax paying, subject of the
NEW WORLD ORDER, complete with their Socialist Surveillance Number ...ooops "
Social Security Number" (SSN) and be satisfied to be under the control of Uncle Scam 24 / 7 / 365 being under constant surveillance and monitoring from the womb to the tomb. Those of you not in love with being controlled by a government that is going SOCIALIST may opt for something better. But, what do you do and how do you start?
Most of this begins with rethinking about
your priorities. As America goes down the tubes in total and complete financial chaos, you will want to save as much as you can for yourself. It has been stressed many times on this board that your
first priority should be to get out of debt, get out debt, and get out of debt. And, while America slides into tyranny, you should be thinking about subjects like self sufficiency, being self reliant, and laying in stores of supplies for the future. That's more of a topic for the
Prepared Americans forum here. Let's talk about
YOUR economic situation:
If you're reading this, you have doubts and worry that your current plan isn't adequate. If you invest in the stock market, then this thread is inadequate to help you. If you're rich enough to think about tax shelters or how to best manipulate your stock portfolio, that is not freebie info you can get from a discussion board. If you're having a hard time making ends meet and the cost of goods and services has you strapped and barely making ends meet, I'd like to give you my .02 cents worth. Right now, the
best place is to invest is yourself. As you work your way out of debt you should be looking at things like your health, your ability to earn money without a regular 9 to 5, and things you can do that will make you less dependent on the system.
Being in the NEW WORLD ORDER; having all your financial transactions and personal habits made available to the government only means that they can control you. At some point, what you read and what you think can be become suspect. At some level, it already is. The
WOKE MOB wants you be brainwashed enough so that you only see the world thru THEIR prism. Even the people who denounce what is going on play into the hands of the power brokers more often than not. This is your opportunity to learn what is really going on. As we ease into that subject, here is a link that will give you an idea of how we are being manipulated:
