Yen went on a free fall to a 24 year low yesterday. It is the third largest fiat currency in the world. Japan is also the largest holder of US treasuries.
yeah I just got an unexpected email from my Bank, talking about inflation and how to budget your spending. I don’t mind another 2008 coming, this system needs a reckoning or we’re all doomed in a few short decades.
a reckoning means the world finds a new dominant ideology – whatever new form of liberalism replaces neoliberalism – and a contingent economic policy that opens up new markets for exploitation… or… we’re all gonna be enmeshed in war for decades. kinda hoping this one turns out not to be the big one just cause I was planning on a couple more years to prepare…
Tons of dried food like white rice, beans, whole corn, etc will last 20+ years if stored below 100f/40c.
A 5 gallon food-safe bucket is the best choice for storage. They are stackable, vermin-proof, and air/water proof that cost ~$8 with lid at a hardware store.
Each 5 gallon bucket can hold roughly enough calories for a month of food for one person. If you go with white rice or lentils that can be had as cheaply as ~$25-30 per bucket.
I starter “investing” in January from a windfall and putting $100 away a month into an index fund. The market started collapsing pretty much right away, I’m considering my continuous investment as a real magic hex to collapse the economy and there is nothing they can do to make me stop. I will destroy the capitalist economy and if it just cost me $100 a month to do it, we’ll that’s just my cross to bear.
