You can choose to be or not to be a victim. You are in control of where your money goes when you shop or invest. 'Bad' monetary policy can work to ones advantage if you invest properly. This isn't about being off the grid. We've had pretty much the same monetary policy for decades, yet our country is more prosperous and better off than any place in the world. Yes, there are problems, but being a victim is your choice.
Being a victim of monetary policy is not a choice, playing the victim may be. So we should just all know that know matter what we’re going to get screwed and just go with it? Even if I use the info at hand and invest in such a way to make $$ off the mess, any $$ I make is still being devalued. I just see a no win situation for average Joe (or even above average Joe.) How does one stay ahead of a collapse of the dollar - except to live as much “off the grid” as possible? Can I tell my employer to pay me in something other than dollars? Can I spend anything other than dollars? The bad policy has been around for a while, but it is coming to a head and can’t go on forever. Some might benefit - most will get hosed.
