tl;dr the wealth became more inequal simply because the rich got richer faster than the poor got richer. Everyone got richer, it's just the highest got it faster.
the US is a shithole, but it's the exception
sidenote - invest in gold and keep few gold bars in your posession - we're at hyperinflation race right now and dollar might just collapse within next 9 years
It's different here to the USA
it's the only western country where things regress
"Please don't let anyone prove me wrong!"
I'm actually curious what the idea behind investing in gold to avoid a monetary crash is.
the US is the most free country on earth, don't you remember that huge discussion we had the other day where someone told us his opinion and we all just accepted it as fact?
People who tweet that sort of thing normally haven't visited the UK
or left their State EVER
One can't just make gold out of thin air.
the US is free, and it's the only country that can be the world police
One also can't use gold for much of anything other than a luxury
but US citizens are worse off than the rest of the west, and their quality of life is in decline
it's easier to make money when you have some already to invest
they love strawmans
I mean, if you do have wealth, and you know that if you keep it in the form of currency it will lose value, what would you rather do with it?
than for poor people to become richer. Who'd a thunk it.
Gold only has a "perceived value" for the most part, but... its value has been fairly reliable over millennia.
If I had to invest money in something I knew would keep value, I'd probably go for weapons actually
As long as there's two humans on earth, there'll be a market for weapons.
Yes, you can invest, but now there's a risk of losing money.
Can you invest all of it?
Would you invest all of it?
I would probably invest in real estate
Worked for Trump.
I mean the prices seem to only go up
And you can rent it
Until the next bubble, that is.
unlike gold
bubbles are a very real risk in real estate
Real estate will go up until population declines.
china has one waiting to happen
AKA as long as we have immigration, real estate and agriculture grow in price.
Can you imagine if Elon Musk finds an asteroid made of gold? He'll make it to the history books as the first UN-sanctioned death penalty to save civilization.
How does he manage to make himself sound more pathetic with every tweet he makes?
