I believe everyone on this forum recognizes the presence of the “invisible hand”. There is also another one or two (or maybe the same one) that controls food and energy. The ultimate goal is control of people. The best example is the entry of new businesses in the economy .We will never see a new auto, steel, railway company and others in this country because of the entry barriers. This leaves fewer entities to control as a source of production.
The timing of the “event” or “reset” is unknown so all we can do is act and react to the present. Hyperinflation before deflation? Will the gun grab succeed ? Will social destabilization be a factor? Europe is paying dearly for replacing the Jewish population with Muslims.
The dike holding civilization together is springing more leaks for the “invisible hand” to control. Your post is exactly correct. I just don’t see how we as individuals can can do anything about it until it self destructs. Buying phiz for the long run and accumulating fiat for the short run may be the best we can hope for.
