Yippee!!! 50% increase! So you’re saying I should buy all the bread and eggs right now, store them until May of next year, and then I’ll be a billionaire, too???
Everyone’s gonna have beans and rice. I’m gonna be the only one with bread and eggs. And unlike beans and rice, when I need some more, I can plant them and grow more eggs and bread.
A better strategy is to buy real assets like gold and silver, which not only hold their value with inflation, but generally tend to explode in price as people wake up and pile in.

In much the same way iron is heavier than feathers!
yes the bread and eggs plan is far superior that’s for sure
When people “wake up” and trade their paper for shiny metals with no real inherent value beyond maybe industrial uses.

You people have been saying this for 100 years. It’s gonna be true aaaaaany day now…
