I’m willing to go ahead and be wrong on this one, but here’s my take - the mechanisms aren’t in place or else they wouldn’t be bothering with the puppet theater of who’s President. It’s always possible, but they’re trying to maintain a steady flow of fear without inducing full blown panic. They’ve learned their lessons in the past. The panics have longstanding repercussions; it’s why they’ve opted to continue inflating the dollar steadily with pockets of short term downturn. If the whole system implodes just as Biden takes office, there will be shitloads of pickup trucks headed to DC, and this time it won’t be to take a peaceful, if unsanctioned tour of the congressional offices. It will be to execute the parties responsible. The IRS, Treasury, SCOTUS building, Pentagon, and Capitol Building will be smoldering rubble from improvised incendiaries. The military can’t repel that sort of volume, even if they imagine they can, and there will be nobody left to care about the optics because the mainstream media will be on the target list. So, they aren’t ready yet, and they might not be for a while unless something changes. That isn’t to say keep your money in banks - if you have the liquidity, get the fuck out of the US dollar as frequently and quickly as possible by putting it into some sort of reserves, whether ammunition, precious metals, or something else of intrinsic value that will appreciate with time.
