Fundamental Notions Of The Hive

The quality of our lives matters.

We don't have the political clout to change economic policy in our favor.  We have to adapt to economic conditions that will favor the rich for a long time.  If we can't become wealthy ourselves, we have to learn to think like the wealthy think, to anticipate their moves.  Debt is not a good thing to have.

Find a cheap, warm place to live.  Stay close to clean water.

Cooperate.  Contribute.  Serve.  Hold fast.  Don't fall through the cracks.

Moneywise, I'd say one of the biggest things right now is to get a chunk of any savings out of US $. With the financial bosses signalling that they WANT to devalue, but are finding it hard... it's either move ahead of the pack, or get caught in the eventual avalanche. May even be smart to move some out of Canuck bucks, as it's already risen 30% against the US & is roughly at par.

But with movements of 20%-40% sitting there, entirely possible, and within a period of 0-2 years, might be worthwhile to catch the wind.

Here I am in my spitfire, machine guns loaded up with pounds, gunning down stacks of dollars that are trying to flee Manhattan. Behind me, Solo and Skywalker fence with bots. Obi Wan mutters to himself and drools into his beard. Yoda says: Your debt. You must watch it.

Yoda, sure. Debt, he has not.

Swamp, dude lives in.

Staying close to water he is.

I've been thinking about this since you wrote it. As much as I wish it were otherwise, that we actually had some semblance of control over the economy, even politics, I think you've described the actual effective operations at our disposal.
