How else do you think people with knowledge profit without production?

Otherwise we would have fixed the fundamental issues and we would have no cyclical collapses. We would have sustainable growth and a productive country and world economy.

India, much more the case.

~20+ productive acres with a secure water supply is a damn good investment, though if things go pear-shaped here, maybe not enough.

The best hedge is something out of Waterworld (a self-sufficient seastead), and if the fish die off maybe we can eat the algae, yum yum.
