If there's one lesson our overlords want us to learn, it's this:
Our betters need to be in charge of important things, or we'll be sorry.
I think it's obvious enough how this applies to COVID.
But it applies to other things, too. Like money. Notice that the alleged experts have to ridicule the old days, when they weren't in charge. The gold standard is stupid, causes depressions, whatever. Whatever b.s. thing they have to say to make people without curiosity stay away from it, and embrace the present monetary system.
I've defended sound money in other places against the dumb arguments raised in opposition to it, so I won't do that again here.
But here's one thing we can say for gold:
Back when gold coins circulated as money, they held or even gained in value. That meant you could save for the future simply by accumulating cash.
No longer.
Anyone trying to save for the future by accumulating dollar bills is a fool, and will see a massive chunk of his purchasing power long gone by the time that future arrives.
So just in order to break even, people now have to invest their money in instruments they barely understand.
This is an improvement how, exactly?
And with the U.S. government completely out of control, intelligent people are wondering: what am I supposed to do now?
And as you and I know, we're asking that question not just about our money and our jobs. We're asking it about everything.
Like: how should I educate my kids so they don't get swept up by propaganda?
How can I express my opinions without having them taken down?
And on and on down the list.
Well, I was just interviewed for a documentary series called Endgame, which takes on a lot of these questions.
Even with a fever and feeling awful, I can safely say that brought my A game.
The documentary comes from the people who created that docuseries Money Revealed that we all enjoyed last year, and which featured people like John Mackey, the libertarian CEO of Whole Foods.
