This comment makes me feel like I’m in a time warp from 1965.
John Birch Society, remember them? They are still around, just don’t get the coverage they used to get.
****************
The Birchers were before my time, so I’ll take your word for it. I like their anti communist posture but I’m not sure I’d take their financial advice.
On another note:
If I earned a dollar for every time I’ve read an “end of the dollar” story.
I’d be as wealthy as Buffett or Musk.
I asked the smartest man I ever knew (according to many of his friends) about it, a guy who rode a burro to school in Italy, was a drummer boy for Mussolini at 10, then served under Patton in WWII at 19.
And Dad said, “Just keep going. If you live like it’s going to happen and it doesn’t you will be in trouble. If it does happen we are all in the same boat anyway.”
Birchers seem like Libertarians to me. They have some good general instincts, but their theory on how to move forward feels incomplete.
