I have read a lot of projections by folks predicting hyperinflation, inflation, stagflation, deflation etc. This stuff is just insanely complicated. I don’t think anyone has the slightest clue how this will play out....

Agreed.

I'm not counting on anything.

I am going to do my best to make sure we are self-sufficient and prepared and whatever else happens outside of my control, happens and there's not a blasted thing I can do about it.

There still ain’t such thing as a free lunch. The two trillion dollars the federal government just borrowed must be paid back somehow. The traditional way the US government does that is with inflation. And at least half the two trillion will be lost to corruption, which means a greater proportion of it than normal will go to inflation as opposed to any benefit to the economy.
