No, I'm not talking about Covid-19.
This doesn't end well. If history has shown us anything, it's that spreading your armies too thin and debasing your currency are two things that lead to a countries demise. Last I checked the US had bases in over 200 countries and according to justfacts.com our debt:
- As of April 7, 2020, the U.S. Treasury's official figure for the debt of the United States government is $24.0 trillion—or more precisely—$24,011,523,316,653.
24 TRILLION DOLLARS. THE HUMAN MIND CANNOT EVEN FATHOM SUCH A # IN REALITY.
Do your part in flattening the debt curve. Stop using FRN's, buy crypto/silver/gold, stop voting, vacate the state, just live your life the best you can. And some sage advice I received from a fellow Hivian the other day, Be Prepared!
Do you think this will be as bad? Worse? Or not nearly as bad, as 2008??? Let me know in the comments!
