Things have been wierd since May 2022. People have been reporting 50%-95% loss in sales. This could lead to Great Depression 2.0 if we don't fix it. There is a way to fix it.
Of course, all this is because the Gov has been trying to bankrupt Humanity to justify the Great Reset. They planned on doing this because they expected to naturally bankrupt the World eventually. The "Babylonian Money Magic" debt slavery system eventually would bankrupt the World and they knew it. They wanted to shift blame on the covid lockdowns which were illegal btw.
Babylonian Money Magic is 3 fold. Your money is stolen by:
-
Bankers printing money and lending it for high interest.
-
Bankers monopolizing land and raising rent prices.
-
Taxation.
All of the economy is tied into a piece of paper called the dollar. In truth, this paper is not needed because all the economy requires is a product, a service and workers. For example, a farmer milks a cow. The farmer is the worker. The milking is the service and the milk is the product. Without money, all these things can still be done but the farmer is unwilling to do it unless he gets money however, if there is little money in the economy, the whole economy slows down since People can pay or get paid.
What if we take money out of the formula to some extent? What motivates the Farmer to milk the cow? Well, the farmer wants stuff too. He may want a new table for his kitchen or shampoo for his bathroom. There's probably tons of items that he wants. So how do we get trade rolling without money? Simple. Barter for Goods and Services.
Bartering for goods is pretty easy. There are many common items People can barter for all the time. Marijuana is very popular and can be bartered for like cash. A $100 bag of weed can be used as $100. Then the person who takes the weed can trade it off to another person if he doesn't smoke weed. I'm just using an example here. Food is very popular to trade as well but it is usually perishable. Non-perishable food is good for barter. Expensive stuff like cars or houses can be bartered for real gold. Online purchases should be the only place cash is spent via a debit card. Save all your money for those kinds of purchases. Barter for goods and services in real life. You can wash dishes at a restaurant for a plate of food. The possibilities are endless.
This way the economy keeps rolling. Believe me, we don't want to live through Great Depression 2.0. It would be a total nightmare. It's better to learn to Barter.
Another quick tip is to only shop at Ma and Pa stores. Give them all the business and boycott major Corporations.
ok i like your idea you get a ag of weed i will make a pile of potato chips we can trade for some vodka and if nothing else we can have one hell of a party get the farmer wrecked and we eat too...lol
I like your point and think barter will indeed be an important element in the economy, probably sooner than we'd all like to think. I'll add this, though, to encourage people to add metals to their savings:
Gold and silver are money because, in a way, they are the best barter goods ever discovered.
They are almost universally acceptable.
They are compact.
They aren't easily destroyed -- in fire, water, extreme cold, by decay, or whatever. Gold in particular doesn't even tarnish; a 5,000 year old gold coin from a shipwreck can be cleaned off and is literally as good as it was when the ship went down.
They are valuable for other uses: jewelry, electronics, silverware (anti-bacterial as well as beautiful), etc.
If you can barter with something else -- eggs, vodka (in glass bottles; lasts forever), or whatever -- that's great, but you'll often have to hunt around for someone who will accept what you have -- unless you have metals.
