Chances Of Societal Collapse In Next Few Decades Is Sky High

Hopefully I'm not alive when it happens. It will of course not happen over a night.

I think the collapse of our society has already started. If not earlier.

One thing I learned in my doctorate courses is that outside of academia, anything can be claimed to be "a study"

Could well turn out to be quite some ride.

:haha: I think that's right. How many years have I heard "studies show"? Then I found out exactly what goes into atypical study. :o

So the question is what should you be doing to be prepared? I got rid of my bank safety deposit box because I don't consider that a good place to hold my valuables. During covid I wouldn't even have been able to get in there. I wonder if I should have money in some other currency like Singapore dollars because all I see is a US gov't out to spend our currency into dust. My annuity is down, but my house is up. It's hard to know if the house price will tank like last time, or if inflation is so out of control that prices will never come down again. If I sell right now I have to pay capital gains and I really don't want to do that, but can I wait until January? Silver is damn heavy, and gold seems overpriced. :hmmm:
