This may seem tangential to your article on a UBI but I think it is very relevant. Above is a very informative interview of American Scott Ritter who has impressive credentials and relevant experience and provides a geopolitical assessment of the conflict in the Ukraine. As he states, the war is over and the big losers are first and foremost the Ukrainian people followed by NATO countries and particularly the US. As he states, this war was caused 100% by the US. NATO puppets such as Canada are also implicated. The west just shot itself in the foot economically because this war has created major blowback and may bring down the corrupt western financial system of central banks and fake currencies created by the trillions out of nothing and used to buy tangible assets such as commodities. The reserve currencies, particularly the US dollar but also the Euro and the British pound, will be hit the hardest. The future is real assets such as oil, gas, food, wood, copper and nickel, i.e., commodities in general, and real money which is gold and silver. Russia just established a de facto gold-backed ruble which will bring down the fiat currencies. Who in the future will want to exchange their products and services for fake money? And what happens when all those dollars flood back into the US and start chasing food, energy and manufactured products? An inflation rate of 8.5% (actually over 15%) is going to look like mild inflation compared to the inflation tsunami that is about to hit the shores of America and Europe. Canada as a large country endowed with major resources could become a global producer of essential energy and minerals but first the environmental terrorists who have captured the federal and provincial governments will have to be dethroned. See here: "Mineral Deposits of Canada: A Synthesis of Major Deposit Types, District Metallogeny, the Evolution of Geological Provinces & Exploration Methods."
Well, it's a cute story, anyway. But what happens when Albertans realize that it is they who are subsidizing the lifestyles of the Quebecois and Ontarian? Will they just sit and take it? It's not as if Canada is a physically well connected society. I look forward to part two to see what happens next.
Wow, reading your work and comments by Mr. Goodfellow leave in want - what can the average simpleton do with their retirement savings. I'm at that age. worked real job and saved. nothing seems safe, cash loses value, gold is stored by someone else (how do you access for spending and keep the storage companies from robbing it or the Govt). Cypto is electricity, what happens when the lights go out. Just a bit lost what to do. How to advice and resources would be great if you have some. Thanks for any helpful advice.
