Governments are quietly buying gold on the sly and offloading treasury bonds, while artificially lowering the price of gold for themselves, but enacting fees and penalties against common citizens when they try to buy. They are all preparing for when the US dollar becomes extinct, which won't be long at all. The house of cards the criminals, thieves and traitors have built is about to come crashing down around everyone's ears, and the cockroaches in government are already preparing for it.

It makes sense that economic collapse would come just when I finally have a pension.
Thanks Obama.

We all support a system that can only continue by exploiting and victimizing huge numbers of people. When it all falls apart none of us will be able to say we were innocent

I don't know if it's we support capitalism... If we snub it we are forced to go live in the woods and find our own resources. What are we supposed to do?

I personally think both capitalism and communism are both fatally flawed and self-destructive in the long term, but what I'm talking about is more like economic imperialism.
In theory capitalism creates competition and allows new 'innovators' and 'entrepreneurs' to claim market share, but in effect the biggest companies are able to use their market share to buy political influence and essentially regulate newcomers out of the market. A good example is the EPA - it was originally created at the behest of Ford and GM with the purpose of making environmental compliance so expensive that emerging car manufacturers would not be able to bring new products to market.
Combine that with a financial system designed to keep resource- and labour-exporting nations underdeveloped and indebted and it starts to make sense why countries like China are rebelling against it.

The problem isn't capitalism. Capitalism is good. The actual problem is crony capitalism. Two completely different animals. The ironic part is that the two are like night and day, yet almost no one seems to know the difference. How can anyone solve a problem when they don't even know what it is?

you always do the thing trump does were he doesn't know about something, then learns basically what the word is and very little else then espouses like he knows all about it and no one else does. Everyone knows about cronyism, except they call it corruption and economic collusion if they don't use that word.
You're literally saying nothing here and pretending you are
