Howdy Horace,
Why not the topic of economics ? Every other OT subject is on the table.
You do present an interested set of cause and effect. Having a personal game
plan to counter what we call the "market" is a step.
The problem is where to step. Back in a certain book I study, I read the
following .. "they threw their gold in the streets".
I take that to mean that gold may not be an answer..
For sure we have a situation arisen in economics that defy any apparent
solution. WE have the example represented by " insurance".
In effect, we dun ben tol .. ain't no insurance money left to pay da
claim.. sue us ! This , of course was told after AIG sorta moved all the
cash thay had in US banks over to Bermuda so they could "protect" us. Only
problem was Buffett had to loan them the money to transfer... go figure.
People get plum bent outa shape when you start messin' wid dare moneys. I
sur wish da peoples in charge understan if things get outa hand.. it gets
noisy.. I don't like noise.

At least hopefully economics, though known as the dismal science, is at
least closer to on topic here than religion.
