The global financial system is a mess and overdue for collapse for many years. The fact that it hasn't collapsed yet is because the (central) banks are able to create currency out of thin air and pump the economy (selected financial institutions and big corporations) while the People gets the inflation part of it in food prices and home bills. On the other hand all big western corporations has almost ceased their domestic production and export it to the East while smaller businesses cannot compete with cheap (for the time being at least) eastern labor and thus consequently fall out of the game.

But all things being finite (not sure about human stupidity though) the game will come to its end eventually. The problem is nobody knows the exact time of the next big black swan effect. All we can do is make our own decisions about our investments and I'm not talking about financial aspect only. Oh yeah, and stop voting! Politicians are all part of the same scam. Their job is to write favourable laws... yeah you guessed it right, they're not in the best interest of the People. So, stop voting and maybe there will be some peaceful change of scenery when the voting participation fall below 10% or so. Well they will probably ignore that signal as well and write some new laws making elections legitimate event at those ridiculous levels.

After all said I cannot imagine a very nice conclusion of the drama we're living in but I still hope I'll be proven wrong. Maybe we can overtake them on the right with cryptos or something. Who knows?

+1 for most of the post: Exactly!

-1 for "stop voting" - not cool! There are parties who know what's up and want to end that failed Euro-experiment (I only mean the currency). "Alternative für Deutschland" in Germany, for example. Vote somebody alternative who comes close to your view.

If there's REAL alternative of course we MUST support it but until then I'm out of this democracy charade.

P.S.: I'm not saying AfD is not a valid alternative, I don't know them. Just be cautious, I've seen a lot of alternatives... of the same.

Any party that wants to end the Euro in its current form is good enough for me...
