This is the article I’ve been writing in my own head for the last few years. Very well written and excellent, practical advice. Don’t be greedy, prepare for the worst and you won’t regret it.
Silver coin of the realm(in the US- 1964 and earlier dimes,quarters and half dollars) may well be a worthy investment. Easily recognized by the public for trade. They are 90% silver that very well will increase in value due to its limited quantities.the price has risen about 40% in the last year but still very affordable. In my opinion the price is being controlled that allows people in the know to take advantage.it is more well known that gold is increasing- now close to 3k per ounce but silver has potentially a much higher upside - percentage wise.
As for allies- if the UK is an ally it is best to cut ties with the nonsense that is being advocated there.
All this lays in the back of my mind. Hopefully it won’t come to this but you have to be somewhat prepared. But I also believe in taking from the wealthy what I will need. I understand that they will be able to hire protection. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be protected. Everything else that I have thought about and some of it has been implemented, I’ll just keep to myself. But if and when the time comes I will play my trump card no pun intended!
I have a security clearance from the government, there is a background check and series of questions you must answer. One of them is if you have used any illegal drugs. Elon has previously and openly posted about his use of illegal drugs. This should have resulted in a denial of a security clearance. The public has every right to challenge and now to ask that his clearance be revoked. START THE MOVEMENT PASS THE WORD
Crash, Collapse, worse than 1929, fear sells. Yes markets are elevated and in many cases overvalued. All the fear mongering by prognosticators of doom comes down to when.
Soon? Later? Tomorrow?
I know people who have been in cash since 2020. Convinced all this will happen overnight.
Going to try and write a response that a bit more balanced. First, what Trump and Co are doing is appalling. The list of laws broken is too long to even fathom. Second, I have no doubt what they are doing will bring an awful recession, inflation, and high unemployment.
Where I disagree with this article is that it would be worse than the Great Depression. First, there are too many fire breaks in the system that Trump doesn't control to prevent that sort of collapse. Second, the high stock market value isn't as broad based as the Buffet indicator makes it. I would love to see that same indicator if we took out just a handful of absolutely, insanely valued tech stocks- like Tesla, Palantir, etc.
As an example, Apple's P/E is just under 40 and that is on the high side for that company. Tesla's is an insane 165! Palantir is a comical 538! In short, of the roughly 5000 publicly traded companies, there are a relative handful (probably a few dozen) that are pushing the overall market value up to just stupid heights.
There are some other comments here about how most of the market is owned by a very small percentage of Americans. That is true and they will be the ones to suffer most, even in a market downturn like the 1999/2000 tech bubble or 1987's crash (which was actually worse than 1929).
Whatever economic mess results from Trump and Musk's lunacy, I am convinced it will give the next President will have an opportunity to truly change things unlike any since FDR. (And yes, there will be a next President and he or she will be a Democratic one to put all the pieces back together.)
Good grief. Another string of Americans who still fall for the division by political party, just what the controllers want. And used historically throughout the world! Divide and conquer, just as is intended. Americans too dumb to see your media tells you just what you want amidst lie after lie, same as the maga people get fed the exact opposite narrative, hear just what they want and behaving accordingly. For all you sheep who revile against fellow Americans who also have been fed narrative, cgi, AI, and psy-op after psy-op to distract, create belief, and keep us on the sofa as spectators YOU are why this country will war internally. Make no mistake, after this, having provided the problems you all perceive, they will provide the solution.
I shared it with a friend that thinks his $ is safe in the bank. Like the prep tips. Well stated.
I would like to add to it as if I am an expert.
The majority or the world's population doesn't have $500 on hand in case of an medical emergency. Ie the dog got hit by a car and you need a veterinarian. How many of you could cover a vet bill ATM?
Buy silver if you can. Go to the flea markets and look for treasures . Buy a crucible and propane torch to melt it. Pour it into a paint pail of cold water and you will get special K cereal flakes. Advice from an old goldsmith.
You can use this to barter when your wiping your ass with the Venezuelian or Argentinian bills you have.
This whole thing has been planned and not some sort of coincidence.
It was set up to crush us.
Learn to make a loaf of bread and grow a plant.
STOP BUYING FROM AMAZON AND BIG BOX STORES! Shop mom and pop, farmers markets ,set up a community barter group.
Mine is ten year plus. I weld for 🍺.
Pay cash for everything.
Stop tapping your fucking phones and cards!
I don't live in the western world. It's full out lawlessness now in the 3rd world. I had to get the jump on a guy the other day trying to pull his Glock on me. It's always been scratchy here but much worse now.
Oh Michael…I know that in your Leftist circles you are considered a man of letters, but out in the real world, well, let’s just say you’re a child scribbling on a piece drawing paper.
In your 2nd paragraph you start talking about the felon and that’s as deep as you get. First in the last 16 years the country has been led by a Democrat President for 12 years of the 16, so if we need to prepare for impact who caused the problem?
Trump in 4 weeks, yes it’s only been 4 weeks is doing more to address your concerns than any Democrat has done in the last 16. He’s firing the dead wood in government, stopping the billions of dollars of unaccounted money that’s being sent all over the world, and stopping a war where hundreds of thousands, maybe millions have died.
However, don’t worry the adults are running things now. Feel free to go back to your crayons and note paper.
The Swedish government has already sent booklets to all households on how to survive in hard times. I am divesting my stocks, selling my house moving home to Australia to a small unit close to my family so we can support each other as this shit will go global!
Good move Clarissa go to Australia where during Covid they beat ppl in the streets for not wearing a mask, and put the unvaccinated in camps. Yes I’m sure if there is a crash that will be a great place to be. 😷

It wont.
If and when the recession happens in the US will this affect Canada and Canadians?

I am half a year maybe 1 year ahead of the curve.
Take my 2 cents of advice or swim hard.

As I say, don’t actually do this!

Oh, the Russian Troll is trying to be relevant. Try it over on X and FauxFoxSpewsLies and elsewhere R incels reside.

Plague rats deserve to be in camps

All part of the Neo-reactionary coup plan?

Those two are just weird. Fascinatingly weird.
I wrote this satire several years ago, unaware of how prophetic it would become.
