During ambiguous times

       If I were a generator of wealth, like a worker, I would have choices.

                        Plan A: Trust the present system

                        Plan B: Don't trust the present system

                        Plan C: Navigate the present situation as best I can

            If I were a user of wealth, really using the money made by others, I would also have choices.

                        Plan A: Trust the present system

                        Plan B: Don't trust the present system.

                        Plan C: Hunker down and do the best I can.  For example, if I put $10 billion down with expectations that I will get both the principle back, plus interest, then that is the status quo. But if I put the same $10 billion down, with no expectation of getting all or some of it back, plus interest, then that is another proposition. Then there are alternatives, like precious metals, or just hunkering down and waiting awhile. Maybe I could even up the interest rate as a way of getting my money back.

            As for me, I have lost trust, faith, and confidence. So I will focus on more simple things for me and my Family. Mostly that means things like clean water, waste water things, food, medical things, security, and even a little local homemade electricity.

After that, I will just let things sort out during these ambiguous times. I call it a wait it out strategy.

            Now in the USA, such a strategy could be painful, though also realistic. But our tax means are also considerable. We are still a nation of workers. Much adjustment will also come, I expect.

            As the title says, these are ambiguous times.
