Something So Terrible...

We have problems in plain sight that are in fact too terrible to consider, IF the options are limited to a false dilemma.  Gary North has an excellent essay on social security and medicare, and fixing it.  Or not.

Mish works the actual numbers, to show this will all end badly.

If the false dilemma is social security or death, then this whole problem is too terrible to think about, and if anything, one dreams up a reason he will be exempt:

1.  I have connections

2.  I am a good person.

3.  I am a prepper.

4.  I am very important.

None of those will work.  The one thing that will allow you to thrive is to be able to say "people voluntarily buy from me."  Then you will be fine.  Getting there takes personal transformation.

Let's not say "self-employment" any more.  The accurate term is "customer-employed."  Getting customer employed is personal transformation.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
