Throughout this whole ordeal, I've balanced the axioms "trust the plan" and 'the end won't be for everyone" to assuage any personal discomfort I've had. I do believe and ascribe to WWG1WGA, but I'm responsible to a few people other than myself. I would have a hard time imagining a plan where retirees are left destitute when the cabal banking system is toppled. It's not quite as bad for the people who are currently working and pulling down an income, so long as their jobs aren't affected. But what about those who are retired or living on fixed-income? There has to be a shadow banking system in place that would replace the pyramid. I've always assumed that the phrase "the end won't be for everyone" to mean that some would die from the vaccines, or low-level collaborators would not enjoy the new system. I'd love to hear the thoughts of fellow pedes. I don't see the elderly starving as part of the plan, and not everyone can replace all of their invested wealth with precious minerals or commodities.

I agree with your statements regarding parasitic pension plans. I do not survive off of those. I'm a retail investor with assets in two major institutions - one of which was minorly affected by the collapse of SVB. I do have real estate assets and, yes, they are probably overvalued. But if I have to lower rent, that would mean goods and services would have to be reduced in price as well. I'm of the belief that there is a shadow economic system, just as there is a shadow government. It seems so utterly complex. I'm taking all the defensive measures I can, but I believe that your average retiree is not meant to be left high and dry.
