Instead of taxing "unrealized gains", maybe just my opinion, a tax on investment transactions (IIRC, a Tobin tax) instead would automatically create a margin that would force people away from more speculative investments.
I believe he's right about a recession/depression taking hold, and also that will force an end to many of those social programs and push all those who are capable of working into the field.
Further, once many of the companies that are effectively zombies die off, that will open up room in the market for new businesses to start to create a more localized and independent group of economies.
You last para..paragraph... spot on, this is where the value lay. Those who see it and pick up the pieces. It's already started.
We have been effectively depopulated. The demographic left a hole where now opportunity sits. Work from home hides the true lack of labor available. And it causes work slow down in most cases.
Go to a restaurant. All understaffed. Some only running drive through.
Homes for sale through the roof. Booming funeral business. They achieved some of their goals. But they lost. Now we finish removing the corporate anchor off our backs at every level.
Thanks, I've already been in the thinking through a plan on potential business ventures, but most concepts either hit the wall of needing a much larger pile of resources OR something that would need to start as a hobby and building up from scratch.
I do have mixed feelings about the work from home trend, on one hand it demonstrates how many people can contribute without being physically present, positions like mine could at most be shifted to "hybrid" where I could do about 80% of work from home while still needing to be "on call" to show up at the office when needed.
Ultimately, the economy is completely fubar and there are so many threads this covers.
Yeah. I'm feeling ya. It's broad. I know someone who moved to a flourishing area. He met with a business broker lots out there. Some hold lucrative contracts and need good leadership building them. That is where you get your shares i.e. ownership in a company. And if you become good at it the paychecks themselves are rewarding.
Oddly, I wouldn't have considered looking at a business broker, but after a quick search that seems something worth looking into.
So far has just been relatively vague brainstorming, knowing what I have in terms of resources and skillset, then trying to see what could be done and how that would play out at the start.
That may be a route worth digging into a bit more, just to see what kind of options exist.
