Of course it is. In the US the highest denomination is $100 – which isn’t enough for pretty much anything useful. When I was young one of my uncles bought a house cash – with $10,000 dollar bills. Today that $10,000 dollar bill with cost more than $10,000 as they have been rounded up by banks. Just like that old silver note, or gold note was taken out of circulation and replaced with worthless paper, and now replaced with nothing, not even paper as paper can’t be anonymous, and everyone wants a trail these days.

One of the reasons that the biggest commodity today is privacy – because there is precious little of it… Make no mistake it is all in the name of totalitarianism where all power is in the government’s hands – you don’t even have any money unless the government says you do. If they want to punish you, you have nothing all of your assets are theirs. Of course, that is why people are stock-piling guns and ammo… Trump may delay things a bit with common sense and ass-kicking, but the commie-liberals will bide their time… So keep your powder dry – you’ll need it… If not in the next 4 years – soon enough…

The percentage of ownership of each branch of the family becomes a settled matter, and obviously the branch of the family proposing the privatisation is planning to take most of it.

If the al-Saudi family loses control of the state, even if they lose control of the oilfields, they can then sue in foreign courts to get control of the foreign assets of Saudi Aramco, presumably a rather large consolation prize.

Also, whichever faction may dispossess the al-Saudi family of the state, they are going to be certainly muslims and rather likely islamists, and islam respects private property.

The infrastructure in Bangkok puts most American cities to shame. The prices for most things are 1/10-1/5 the cost back home. Far from the lies Ive been told, these economies embrace free markets 100x better than in the west.

It seems like the main difference between developed and undeveloped countries comes down to open markets and accountability.

In shitty places, there is often only one monopoly business allowed to operate, and its owned by the president/dictator or one of their friends. People are forced to accept shitty service at high prices, and theres no incentive for the company to improve anything.

When there is no accountability, restos/taxis/businesses will fight tooth and nail to get you in the door, bleed you for as much cash as possible, then forget about you. Uber drivers are 100x better than taxis, and they know at the end of the day theyll be accountable for their service.

The one thing government can actually do right is provide infrastructure such as modern roads/highways, traffic lights, and bridges. Everything else seems unnecessary and counterproductive for the common man.

One thing I never understood about official history on the event was how ridiculous the narrative is.

How hard is it to kill millions of people for a technologically advanced civilization?

Much easier than keeping them alive during war time. According to what Ive read, people will die if they dont drink any water after 3 days. After a couple weeks of no food, they also die.

I am supposed to believe that nsdap Germany, the most technologically advanced and intelligent civilization at the time were able to build complex machinery, invent working rockets and jets, national infrastructure, and so on, but apparently were so incompetent that they didnt know all they had to do was literally nothing if they wanted to kill many people.

More likely, the official narrative is not quite accurate. Seems to me like something (((eskimos))) could actually imagine themselves doing to others, so they see the historical narrative as believable.

If youre into reading about their influence over secret societies and deep state politics, an old but good book on the topic is Occult Theocracy.

If true, it makes you wonder how they could be incompetent enough to allow foreigners control their physical money printing industry. Unless that incompetence was foisted upon them at gunpoint, much like the history of the federal reserve and all its opponents who coincidentally died on the Titanic.

Planning on going to India in a month, hope it stays stable enough for travel.
