Things are bad, the world is on fire and there doesn’t appear to be a lot of hope for us on the horizon. There are nonstop protests on the street, civil unrest on the left and the right, increased regulation stifling business and economic growth, wars on multiple fronts against the will of the people, wildly out of control spending and the threat of looming massive tax hikes.
Many doomsayers are running around screaming “end of days, but gold, buy gold,” and while I collect silver (gold is too expensive) I am not convinced we’re seeing the end of the world. We seem to move through cycles throughout history, we start free, then we prosper, then we become complacent, then apathetic, then debauched, then despotic and then finally we become enslaved to the monstrous governments we create. Then we always seem to look back and ask ourselves, “how did we get here?”
