The dollar has gone from being equal to the euro to now being worth 82c as of april 11th. The value of gold is rocketing due to market uncertanty of no known cause. RFK promises to find cause by september. Prior attempts to find the cause had been interupted when a 4d chess piece slipped through a time portal and appeared in the white house signal group chat.

Part of me wants to hold some gold for these times but on the other hand I just can't get over how it holds really no use for regular people. Like, if the world came down to money being useless and you had a shiny metal and used to buy apples or meat then it sounds to me like you got the food and the other guy got a yellow rock.
 
Now imports can be even more expensive on top of the tariffs.

Once the economy collapses and the majority of the population is living in abject poverty, we can build sweat shops here. Think of all the trinkets we'll be able to export to actual advanced economies once enough Americans are willing to do 12 hour shifts in factories for $2/hour.

This is how you make America great.

Also funny how most high paying jobs would be meaningless if the grid collapsed and the world turned into The Stand or something. Every bean counter or lawyer or techie (like myself) would be essentially useless. Construction workers, farmers, health professionals, laborers, those mf’ers would rule. Of course, engineers and politicians would find a way to make it seem like they’re useful, too ;)
