  • Depends on what you mean by a complete crash. Equites crash, property values cave, massive unemployment, these are good for the oligarchs.

    Now if the paper markets freeze or securities jump to double digits, they are looking at the USD losing (some of at least) its status as the reserve currency. That would hurt their fortunes on paper, but they would outright own enough physical wealth it wouldn’t matter that much. And as you pointed out, they can just move somewhere else or live in fortified palaces and travel in armored cars or aircraft? This is getting a bit Gibson-eqsue now, a bit hyperbolic on my part perhaps.

    I suppose that’s what the crypto is for.





  • I’m leaving in half an hour to go to the Saturday market to get me some fresh free range (although not completely organic - near impossible if you want healthy birds) eggs. Cheaper than in the States and cheaper than Aldi, AH, Jumbo, all the big chains. I can see the farm on the map, with chickens outside, at least when google took that photo.

    0.5c off if you reuse your old container. It’s possible, just difficult to overcome the big chains. And yes I’m dripping in privilege but I moved continents to get it it.
