If by "crisis" you mean "bankrupt beyond repair," I'm not sure what remedies there are at this point, for the "average American" or for the nation. A banking/financial collapse after 3-4 years of Operation Wuflu societal and financial ruin probably gets us a lot closer to a Venezuela type of fallout. Great Depression Redux at least.

They created a monster that has gotten too big and mean to be controlled ("to big too fail"), and now it is eating the royality and nobility rather than just the peasants.

Unless of course, our heroes in the Federal Reserve and the Treasury come up with some novel accounting tricks, just like the government came up with a novel coronavirus... and a vax that not only does not stop the spread of the "contagion," but actually harms those its supposed to protect.

If that's the case, you can bet the cure is going to be worse than the disease.

"We must kill the patient to save him."

That is what has been done. They have destroyed free markets, and have replaced it with fiat money that is worthless. The banksters and the government have conspired since 1913 to replace our Constitutional order with an oligarchic plutocracy.

My view is that "Average Americans" can only find shelter right now in hard assets. Precious metals, tools, food, fuel, weapons and ammo, booze, and other, tangible forms of wealth that can't be printed by holding a finger down on the zero key in some Federal Reserve office. Such shelter will be probably short lived in terms of wealth security once the takeover is complete. Buy stuff while our "money" still has buying power.

The banks have already been nationalized. And so has our money (which is not wealth).

Right now its "bail in" time for the suckers, and "bail out" time for the banksters, which means "average Americans" are going to bleed.

Digital money completely controlled by the governments of the world is the end game, and there are going to be no other options.

Now, about those trillions and trillions of dollars in retirement accounts....

Someone ALWAYS has to take a haircut.

Fiat money is always a game of musical chairs.

Just because the music has been playing for 100 years doesn't mean it won't stop tomorrow.

Every financial instrument on earth has the "past performance is no guarantee...." disclaimer, yet people *still* insist that long term the market will always grow.

Yes, it will always grow, up until it ceases to exist.

I'm sure investors in the Russian stock market of 1900 assumed they could ride out a downturn too.

Silicon Valley Bank was in bed with the CCP. Joe Biden's financial ties to China keep paying off the CCP at the expense of the American people. I am DEMANDING answers for this unbelievable corruption.

While the Biden administration once again tries to distract and manipulate the American people they are funneling billions to the CCP…I am leading the charge to demand answers and bring accountability. House Republicans demand Biden answer on Chinese ties to collapsed Silicon Valley Bank

Too bad there wasn’t one to bet against the democrats making the economy fail. I’ll bet it’s too much of a sure thing and they’d lose their ass in pay outs.

$30 trillion is only the tip of the debt iceberg. Unfunded liabilities at the federal, state, county, and local level run into hundreds of trillions, and just about all of it is money that has to be borrowed or printed to keep the ponzi schemes going.

We’re actually number 8 if you go GDP/capita Just because we’re big and have a lot of people shouldn’t give us a leg up and we should play by a level playing field.

People often use a per capita when the absolute figure is appropriate and vice versa.

When it comes to richest *country*, then you want the absolute figure.

The per capita tells you who has the richest citizens. The absolute tells you who has the most power in a trade war.

Luxembourg has nearly double the GDP per capita that we do, but nobody is worried about getting into a trade war with Luxembourg.

Stop,
What will happen is all the "good" countries will get together and implement digital telling us we have all our money.
Then they will squeeze until, you own nothing and will be happy to move into a concentration camp; where you will be eating billgates bugs and fake food.
The population will decrease due to "riots", starvation, etc, and people from shit hole countries will be the slave labor for the " good guys" .
It is a win, win, win, just not for us normal people across the world.
Stock up on seeds, gun parts, ammo and ammo parts, new tractor or mule?.

I just posted this in the BRICS vs west thread.

Also, on top of it Saudi will now accept Kenyan shillings to buy oil. Seriously. Let that sink in.


Normies have no idea what that implies and means.

An absolute disaster. The USD is being replaced before our eyes as the global reserve currency. All that fake money printed out of thin air to buy votes and finance wars is going to suddenly matter.
