America is becoming a facist state. Facism is when the state allows a certain extent of free market capitalism but keeps corporations under it’s control. It is a variation of socialism. One of the first examples was the establishment of the fed, which allows private banking to collude with the govt to create a monopoly on our monetary system. More recent examples is the govt buying PBS and GM, with the govt propping up certain industries it removes the risk for these companies, which ultimately hurts competition. The govt subsidized student loans, schools knew they could charge whatever the market would bear knowing the loans would be garanteed. This is the real reason education is so expensive, the govt is creating artificial demand through garanteed loans. Same with healthcare, costs have shot up because certain insurance companies have a government sanctioned oligopoly. True capitalism is dead in america, more and more industries will collude with the govt creating a plutocratic society where there are the few producers and the masses are consumers with no meaningful way to climb up the socioeconomic latter due to excessive regulation preventing any real competition.The government will tank before the dollar does. 2008 was the biggest risk we faced with inflation of the dollar since the Great Depression, I would say we are safe on currency. We should be more worried about the state of the sheep living in our country being pawned by all the subconscious signals put off by big company’s. Question everything

Ubi will be the nail in the coffin for the US, it will create a permanent underclass crushed by ever raising taxes to pay for the “free stuff”, while over-regulation will make it impossible for any real competition to enter the market.
Either that or an economic collapse will come, the elites will buy all the foreclosing property and failing businesses for pennies on the dollar, and an era of socialism with american characteristics will come down upon this once great country.
As for the 2008 crisis, we didn’t see crazy inflation of the dollar. But if you look at what happened afterwards, MASSIVE amounts of currency was injected into the system, most of the US dollars created were sent off to other countries keeping inflation low in the US. All this extra currency supply caused housing to skyrocket, so there was invisible inflation where a huge portion of the population was priced out of affordable housing. If the world decides they dont want our dollars and they send it back to the US, we will see hyperinflation like the dollar has never seen.
Ty for ur inputAnd this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you dont mistake a youtube rabbit-hole for an education.
I’m not consumed by it where im blinded with whats happening in my life. I’m still working towards my career goals and pursuing a double major. Though I don’t think everything is fine and will stay fine. There are a great deal of global conflicts right now caused by the US dollar. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to believe a collapse is coming within a generation at the latest.Why worry? In all likelihood, you're going to live a relatively comfortable life in line with your current living situation, probably have a wife and kids, then die in 50-60 years without any of this stuff coming to pass. Look back in history, and when you think about it, Earth-shattering events don't happen very often. I expect such events to be even rarer now in an age of nuclear deterrence. Make some plans to sustain yourself in case of emergency, sure, but there's no need to let yourself become consumed by these fantasies.
land is taxed, when u can no longer make the payments due to hyperinflation the govt seizes it from u. During the collapse of the dollar, gold/silver will be the safest store of value (unless the govt does a buyback of gold like they did in 1933 at an artificiality low price)
Edit: also the price of land is extremely inflated ever since the 2008 crash due to the massive amounts of money printed by QE which caused prices of assets to skyrocket.
The evolution is near
The brains will start to abandon their religions and believe in themselves
And the new world order will start

Interesting stuff but reading anything like that results in an avalanche of existential crisis for me. No thanks!
US debt is only so low right now because the fed is keeping interest rates artificially low. If the fed allowed interest rates to go up, we won’t be able to pay the interest on our debt. There is so much cheap money in the system right now because of interest rates being so low which is keeping the economy going, but if the economy starts slowing, the fed really can’t lower interest rates much lower. When that happens we’ll see this bubble popDo you mean the average person or the state? Because US debt is only 80% of GDP.
For comparison:
After the Napoleonic Wars the UKs debt was close to 250% of GDP. Debt isnt a problem as long as youre winning and people think you can pay 'em back.
