go figure
Anyone "choosing" it is just faking it. Like pretending to love asparagus when you still hate asparagus. And suddenly hating cantaloupes, even though you still want to bury your face in cantaloupes as much as ever. I think some ugly, fat women "choose" to be lesbian only because no men want them and they feel they'll fit in better, but it's fake—they're still attracted to men. I've never known (and can't really conceive of) a hetero man "choosing" to no longer be attracted to women and to somehow turn on an attraction to men. I've never really understood why people think that's a viable option. You could choose to fake that your sexual attraction has done a 180, but nothing true about it. That said, I don't believe there's a gene. I think it's all spiritual or molested as a child (also spiritual). I was not molested at all—great parents—but father desperately wanted his 4th son (me) to be a little girl… just wanted variety—3 sons was enough. I don't pin any blame on him, but think that's probably the reason. Sauce debatable. Doesn't mean I have to yield to the lie. And I have not for ~10 years. But "choosing" to find something attractive or tasty or beautiful that doesn't "naturally" strike you that way is problematic.
Good question. All the comms I've digested suggest a new, much higher valuation of gold will be used to back the dollar, all big currencies. Perhaps silver too. Either way, silver value will follow and increase much more exponentially/get back closer to the historic ratio (perhaps better than ever for Ag). Will some government-backed crypto be part of this? I dunno. I think crypto's, generally, will be this generation's version of the lesson of the 1920's bank runs (but worse). Holding real money in your home will come back into fashion? Maybe "trillion dollar platinum coin" concept is real. I dunno—won't shed a tear for the FED if US Treasury "pays them off" with some bullshit concept, that's for sure. Repay bullshit with bullshit.
NPR is pushing propaganda that inflation will be YOUR FAULT, and makes the (you) sound like the stereotypical older white guy.
