  • Hard logic for hard assets
  • The role of “control” and why it will be field the collapse of the system will be fought on
  • Recent learnings from my own journey worth knowing
  • Why I am certain things will get darker before they improve

I never thought that we’d be here.  It could have all unfolded so differently if our society had made better choices.  It didn’t have to be this way.

But here we are.

My plans now revolve around these trends continuing:

  1. Money printing will continue and accelerate if they think it necessary
  2. SARS-CoV-2 will be poorly managed at the state level and worse at the federal level

My assessment is that both trends point to the need for hard assets.  Land, resources, water, food, gold, timber, etc.

The period we are in is without any historical precedent.  More money is being printed at a faster pace than ever before.  Fewer people are in charge than ever before who have any experience or role models for managing effectively.

Nobody seems to have any grounding in history or a vision for the future.  Everything seems geared towards getting through one more day and doing whatever it takes to keep appearances up.

I’ve seen these trends coming for a long time.  I am not at all surprised by them.  They explain my continued and consistent encouragement for people to plant a garden.  Sure, I think people spending more time outside is a good thing.  And I think eating healthier food is a good thing.  Also keeping occupied during the long periods of self-isolation.

Yes, all of those things.  But deep down I am very concerned that our national managers will screw up big time and keep doing what they do until something breaks.  It’s a non-zero risk.  By ‘break’ I mean wreck the functioning economy to the extent that inflation, if not hyperinflation come roaring back.  Possibly bad enough that real shortages arise in our supply chains.

So Rector, what are your top recommendations for a newbie NOW… (other than arms, food storage, and starting a homestead in 3.5 months?
