    all I see is companies buying up everything, (or promising too…), driving the costs through the roof resulting in me either choosing between food and shelter… or buying stuff.

    I choose me… my house, and staying alive. the rest… whatever. let it inflate to absurd levels and crash. they can play their dumb game, I’ll wait until the riots start.

      I mean, storing wealth in US dollars is stupid, the government learned their lesson a century ago and that’s why inflation exists.

      You can buy gold/silver or any investment vehicle, even guns and ammo if your pessimistic enough. Or land in the middle of nowhere if you have the funds.

      Like, at first it sounded like a personal choice. Now it sounds like a forced reality and not a choice?

      Anyways, if anyone is storing wealth at any substantial level, under no reason should anyone keep it in cash under their mattress.

      Cash constantly get de-valued, it’s not something anyone should “hold”.
