RE: Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, what money really is... the choice between herpes or syphilis and why I am not voting
I can relate to much of the sentiment you express. I feel like I spend a lot of time wondering if I’m prepared for various financial scenarios. I think its a good idea to stock up on food and should probably do more of that myself. Personally, I don’t see all debt as financial slavery. If an asset has the potential to grow faster than the interest rate required to service the corresponding debt it may be worth considering. Also, the added leverage may be good for call/put strategies with metals, miners, etc. In any case, I too, cannot support either candidate and think a non-vote is also a form of expressing opinion. If enough people refuse to vote for unqualified candidates it may help send a message that better alternatives are needed in the future. However, we still have the party machines and electoral college to overcome.
Well put. You are right that all debt is not bad. Some debt allows us to grow and purchase things over time we would never have been able to own. Ultimately, we have the choice to sign on the dotted line and can choose to live within our means. As for the our electoral system, it is so corrupted by big business, it is very hard for a true leader too emerge. Hopefully this circus we call an election is bringing the corruption to light allowing more people to refuse to participate in a rigged system and choose an alternative way of living. Remember, govern means "control" in its root form. We don't need government we need enlightenment, consciousness and reason to guide our actions.
