Why You Want A Plan B (Part 1 - South America)
The United States continues to decline. An online business gives you the ability to have a Plan B.
Decline Of The American Empire
“A republic, if you can keep it.” - Benjamin Franklin
The United States is no longer a Constitutional Republic. It may have the appearance of one, but if you look underneath the veneer, it is clear that there are now two sets of laws. The ruling class (politicians, government agencies, and big business) don’t have to follow the rules. In contrast, the average person must follow ever-growing laws and regulations. Additionally, the social, economic, and moral decay parallels the fall of the Roman Empire. America continues to fight needless wars in the name of “freedom” and “democracy.” By making itself the “world police,” the United States created many enemies who would gladly like to see America lose its current status as the dominant world power. The country is also collapsing from within.
The most dangerous people are not outside of the United States but are walking the halls of the country’s institutions and responsible for policy decisions on the state and national level and directing the country’s monetary policy.
Americans think the education and higher education system teach them valuable information and that a fancy piece of paper is necessary for a career. The educational industrial complex only indoctrinates the current and upcoming generations.
It gives bread that people gladly take instead of being productive members of society in the form of Social Security and Medicare, which are estimated to run out by the 2030s. The Social Security and Medicare Board of Trustees estimates that the “cost of both programs [Social Security and Medicare] will grow faster than gross domestic product (GDP) through the mid-2030s primarily due to the aging of the U.S. population.”
The circuses entrance Americans in the form of entertainment from Netflix to YouTube to the Super Bowl to the news. Entertainment keeps Americans distracted from the real problems. The growing number of issues in their own country. The corrupt institutions. The enemies in their backyard. The enemies are within the country and freely walking, often presented as “leaders.”
The United States government continues to take over more parts of the American economy and contribute to the nation’s GDP than the private sector. This means the government controls more of the economy than private businesses. The United States ranks among the top most indebted nations in the world. It cannot pay off its debt, and it is mathematically impossible. The essential difference is the United States holds the world’s reserve currency.
Americans have a recency bias when it comes to the dollar and inflation. Most think that hyperinflation or losing the reserve status is a fairy tale that could never happen in the United States. Americans have enjoyed the many benefits of holding the world’s reserve currency status, but nothing lasts forever, and the BRIC Nations are directly attacking the dollar’s reserve status. The de-dollarization process will likely continue. When Americans no longer hold the reserve currency, the country will need to follow the same economic rules as second and third-world countries. Once the countries that currently hold United States debt in the form of treasuries decide to sell them (particularly China), that means more dollars will return to America, which will mean that inflation will continue to rise because there will be more dollars circulating in the American economy. Inflation can continue to go up. Americans’ standard of living can continue to decline. There is no reason why the American Empire cannot collapse. America’s foreign policy has created many enemies who would love to see the end of the American Empire.
There is no perfect place, but remaining in a declining, collapsing, corrupt empire may not be the best option if you have some flexibility. In reality, it’s an overpriced banana republic. An online business allows you to move and work in another country.
