There aren't safeguards to prevent interference because of the 1% not paying their fair share. We could have a cyber attack hit tonight and we'd be fucked. Our government is run by people who have no clue what's happening. Our society is failing.

Our society collectively doesn't think about where our money goes.

I mean the .3% level still holds nearly 10x the wealth of the .31-1%, at the lower ends they’re benefitting too much from our broken system yes, but their level of influence cumulatively and per capita is far smaller

Back when it was based on gold/silver there was at least a tangible asset tied to your wealth.
Now, individual wealth is a factor of how much trust the world has in American currency

Yeah what needs to happen is basically a Zimbabwe where people stop thinking US dollars mean anything. They don't really mean anything. They're just paper and copper essentially.

Lowk the Zimbabwe hyperinflation currency would’ve been a massive W if you bought a ton of the $50,000,000,000,000 notes. They’re selling for like 100x what their value was then.
That’s just collector value tho, no real meaning behind it still

Without the dollar tied to a stable asset our money is literally worthless. The idea of money is the value. The only value of copper is the production value which again, isn't much of anything. If America understands that and gets tied back to assets inflation would slow.

You’re fully aware that it is not just that simple for the vast majority of people, but you choose to act like the success of those who raised you inherently makes you a better person. Do better.

You need money to invest. Statistically speaking your odds of gaining a social class (ie. Lower class to middle class) is like 3%. Very shitty odds. Even less if you're going from middle to upper. Closer to .5%. you live in a bubble buddy. Your money isn't even yours.
