I agree things are coming to a head all over the world.
It is quite disturbing. Very few people around the world realize how dire our situation is around the globe. Dependency on dilapidated infrastructures by billions is a lot of the problem. Communism and quasi communism just adds to the potential misery and downfall of prosperity, and then stability crumbles in our hands.
The United States used to raise the bar. Now we are headed for rolling blackouts and lines at the pumps, followed by excruciating inflation. Then there is the illegal immigrant problem, but it is academic, as future immigrants will be allowed in with little screening and no major requirements. Then new legal immigration to come is going to be much more detrimental than illegal immigration could ever dream of being.
I expect us to nationalize gold and silver in the next couple of years. The 2nd Amendment is going to be toast soon. We won't allow extraction and refining to take place at levels we need. Our government is punishing the people that are busting their butts and risking millions to make this country wealthy again by mining gold; even in the light of a very overvalued, soon to be worthless, greenback.
That is just a drop in the ocean.
