If the economy crashes we are the ones who are gonna be fucked... I don't think I can afford a 5090 before or after.

I am fascinated that people think if only the economy crashes everything will be back to normal. No, we are all fucked. The billionaires have already fucked us all.

    While it is true that they are at their lowest levels in a long time, the reality is that between domestic production that we have available and the reserves, even if our usage continued to grow, we still have a few years worth before we would actually genuinely run out.

    Not if the economy crashing causes increased inflation and interest rates, then you'd wish you had assets that hold value rather than currency which will lose its value.

    Although, given the numbers most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and don't have a wealth of assets or cash.

    I'm sure all of the Zimbabweans hoarding some large denimination $1,000 stacks of cash under their bed were still doing great after the 12mil% hyperinflation caused the central bank to issue $100,000,000,000,000 notes.
