“One of the reasons many believe a major seismic shift is coming in how we will live.”
Still reading, listening, and learning.
I recently watched a video that made some very dramatic claims about a seismic shift coming — one that will mark the beginning of a new era in how we live. (It was clearly designed to get me to subscribe to their monthly financial report.)
The presenter used several recent global developments to support his arguments, and many of them actually made reasonable sense. However, the line that struck me the most wasn’t from the video itself — it was a news headline from last year.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve taken from Robert Kiyosaki’s books is this: no matter what social movements do — whether voting in a new government or pressuring the existing one — the rich simply do not pay taxes. They have always found ways around it, and they’ve been doing so for decades, if not centuries.
The top 1% of the world’s population owns nearly 50% of global wealth. If even they are unhappy about paying taxes, how long do you think they will tolerate the current ironic situation?
Paying a bank to hold their money?
Or, put differently — paying to preserve the value of money that is steadily losing purchasing power every single day as more dollars and euros are printed out of thin air?
According to the video, something significant is happening behind the scenes (and no, it’s not 5G or AI). While most people are focused on Covid-19, the U.S. presidential elections, and a struggling global economy, a much bigger change may already be unfolding — a change that was perhaps coming anyway, with or without the pandemic.
(I’ll leave it to your imagination whether I eventually subscribed or not.)
