Cash is king
Cash? Which has its value controlled by a central bank which will devalue the wads under your mattress to help bail out their friends? Commodities are king.
Ok, so what's your solution, surely if you have the gall to attack someone else for providing advice you have a better solution so tell us?
My suggestion is unironically sieze the means of production. Becuase money is about to inflate.
Buy that Stand mixer with attachments you always wanted; You'll atleast be able to bake your own food when police start to guard the grocery store.
That large toaster oven that fits a turkey? That's be your new hyper efficient bread/cake/cookie baker. It's basically an adult sized ez bake over.
Into fashion? Get that forever artisan Sewing Machine. You'll be able to knit your cloths together to make a quilt when you can't afford to heat your home in the winter.
Are you a gardener, woodworker, welder, lunberjack, plumber, etc... Then I suggest seriously considering getting some kind of tool that makes things. How about a 3d printer? 😬
They recommended commodities, so consider buying a ton of iron ore. Or a bunch of rice.
I buy my cloud hosting with soy futures, of course
I'm more asking what cash is supposedly giving you
Security from AI agent hacks because that’s what this article is about
cash is not known for its inherent security properties
put your cash in a safe; don't give agents access to your banking api
