Always amusing to look at threads like this...
People blame immigrants... (IMMIGRANTS? ILLEGALS? They drive up the cost of housing? FFR?) or the laziness of the kids who are not willing to work to buy these Gatsbyesque status symbols, or ... well anything but the real culprit.

The FEDERAL RESERVE has been at the helm of destroying the value of the dollar. The channels of inflationary asset storage FOR that deflated dollar is an irrelevant sideline. They happen to be real estate, medicine, and academia, but could just as easily have been hubcaps, beanie babies and kumquats, had the tax policies been different.

The imperial dictates of DC, and the insane flushing of increasingly worthless dollars into real estate (not to mention the military, “social security” (ha!), and other welfare projects) is the cause of this.

I no longer believe it is possible to MAGA, and that rather we are going to have a gigantic explosion of this debt/currency bomb. Trying to protect myself with RURAL property with some sustainable aspects, a few means of self protection, precious metals, cryptos, and a renewed interest in “soul fortification” (memorizing passages from the bible).

It is going to be a ghastly day when this thing comes unwound, and it will

When this thing comes unwound I will still have my beanie babies lol! I started collecting the old ones, with tags only, 5 years ago for pennies on the dollar. Give it another 20 years.

In a true SHTF scenario, nobody is safe, not even in the rural areas. In fact, those in rural areas are probably even more exposed as they will be cutoff from supplies and infrastructure (i.e. gas, electricity) first. You would have to be extremely self-sufficient to survive. Then you would have hordes of outlaws looking to pillage whatever you might have. Having a stockpile of arms and ammo might hold them off...for a while. Eventually your guard will have to drop and they will descend upon your property like an angry swarm.

Let's hope it doesn't ever come to that.
