What is a “free market”?
Here are my thoughts on it.
The ability to trade goods, for goods.
Weather that be FRN, gold, silver, or other goods.
I was reading in another thread about how China could cause the collapse of the US economy.
By dumping it holdings of US Treasury notes.
If they did this, no matter how much gold they hold, they would be hurting their biggest trading partner. Who else would they trade with and move their goods as they do with the US?
They export more than they import, and the most of their exports is to the US.
Now if, someone else was to start importing more goods from China than the US, then they would not need the US, and could start to sell off their holding of US T-notes.
So what does that mean for us here?
So the US dollar goes to shit, TP becomes more valuable than the dollar.
Does that mean the US stops working? No.
The people in the cites, will find it harder to live in. But people who have work their way away from the FRN’s will get by just fine.
Most will go back to bartering for goods and services, some may start to take gold or silver for their goods.
But the ones that can live and do for themselves now, will keep on doing well for themselves.
We have talked here about what we can do, and what we may need to do to improve ourselves and our ability to take care of our own.
Those that think they need the “Government” to take care of them, will be the ones dying off.
So ask yourself, am I doing all I can? Am I ready to be on my own? Can I take care of my family, with what I have now?
If not, then when?
