My dollars are fine, thank you. I need no convincing.
I've been hearing the Chicken Little scenarios my entire life. "OMG, the US economy is gonna collapse!" I've lived through multiple serious downturns, and they've ALL recovered.
Im doing fine. I have plenty enough to retire on, and my 5 kids and their families will have enough too. All done by very traditional means.
Im not buying what you are selling.
You mean you don't buy into unfounded conspiracy theories? Ha, I know you don't.
That's why I have stayed out of this thread, a few people spewing the same stuff they always do.

We've been through this entire thread before. It just has a different sticker on it.
Broke people always have a reason why they are broke, and it's always someone else's fault.
You're right. Who did I blame though? I provided information, empirical examples, stated it is going to be an issue in the future, and that means I'm broke?
I wouldn't wish what happened in other countries when their currencies collapsed on anyone especially not future generations. It doesn't have to happen but it will if we don't learn to work together to stop it.
Fun fact: take the US debt, approximately $35 trillion. Now confiscate all the currency in the world: dollars, yen, euros, dinar, rubies, pesos, yuan.... (all of it). You won't have enough to pay the debt.
Now confiscate all of the gold and silver too! Put it all in a pile. Say it's worth the current spot prices. Now you still can't pay off that debt.
This is the only page of this thread that I have read, so apologies if & as required, but by coincidence I just this morning finished a book from 2020 called Money: the true story of a fictitious thing, by Jacob Goldstein, and it is (a) fascinating and (b) a whole bunch of fun to read.
Depending on what y'all are worried about, it might help. I guarantee you will at least be entertained.

It's adorable you think every reply is about you. Paranoid much?

Seems like someone wants to turn this into a political thread.

Hes repliying to the wrong person.
And we’re going to call it.
