Trade wars (real/not) are used to control the free flow of materials and cash. Sounds like a game plan we have all seen here. They take a chunk each way to Sunday. Customs offices are the same as divorce court. That being said, I’m always on the side of why not make money now? I invest all over the place. Money is to be made. I have noticed since going MGToW, my money choices have paid off big time. Wonder why?

Galatians 5:1 (KJV) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

The system is decked against anyone other than the 1% – who actually own tangible assets stolen by debt creation. That being said if you have some fiat currency put to good use that will help you out in the interim. In reality the price of real goods measured across the consumer spectrum is constant. The dollar value of your investments is always falling – so it appears you are doing better – that is all.

Eventually when fiat currency is no more viable – think Venezuela – your cash may be practically worthless. That is when tangible commodities like real estate, fine art, precious metals will show their value in a market reset. The market always resets to fair value.
