Too many Americans read too little news, relying upon broadcast news for what often proves disinformation. We can do better.
Quote:Can't Americans buy guns, gold, and food today and warn Americans about the US decline?
We can certainly buy guns, gold, and food... but guns make no sense except for sport hunters. Gold has value only as a hedge against inflation. Food has never been so cheap as a share of people's living costs unless they have the habit of going to "Whole Paycheck" Foods.
Quote:Can't Americans stop paying taxes so that the government will collapse?
No, but some can practically drop out of the consumer economy. If enough do or are consigned to such, then we are all in big trouble.
