"Withdraw your consent"? That's it? That's the brilliant strategy that will save us? Thanks for the insult and the useless idea, Karl.

The US economy will crash quickly or slowly regardless of our consent. How's this for a actual strategy?:

1. Work hard and make the most money you can.
2. Use that money to prepare for the unavoidable collapse.
3. Preparing means moving away from high population areas and buying real things - defensible arable land, guns and ammo, food and medicine, etc.
4. Join with your neighbors and similarly minded folks in defense groups.
5. Develop a non-technology based skill - farming, carpentry, tailoring, food prep, etc.
6. The most important - Get right with God. Join a church, read your Bible, pray for revival.

Somehow, I think these ideas might prove more successful that "withdraw your consent".

Agreed.

“1. Work hard and make the most money you can.”

As a thought exercise, when you do that, assuming you do so legally and taxably, roughly 50% of that money is removed from your control, tracked, and in general, housed within a government-controlled entity subject to partial or full confiscation. Unless you coffee-can it which is increasingly an actionable activity in and of itself, should you be discovered. Of that which is removed from your control, roughly half probably goes to a “program” of sorts that is designed to empower, either by vote-recruitment or armed paramilitary recruitment, folks who would be happy to turn you and yours into food. So if you make $1000, $250 potentially goes to pay some dudes from the hood armed with AK-47’s that you probably paid for. Your taxes bankroll the opposition, in effect. If you’re confident in your ability to fend off a Waco-grade assault, fine.

Your other points I (and Karl) agree with.

That’s all well and good. You can also choose to ignore politics as well

That’s the answer that many take and their perfectly happy with it

America willNOT collapse. Mark my words.

All the monies in the world are just numbers on computers

Anyone who believes in something greater knows that money in its entirety is simply a meaningless game

LOVE is what the master taught.

And HE taught us what about the ‘money changers’ ?

What about the treasures of this earth?

Hmmmmmmmm
