Most countries are printing money to pay whatever they need to cover. This drives down the value of the currency and driving up inflation. Unfortunately, then there is no liquidity in the world market (e.g.Yen dump). The problem is that this is macro economy driven and they all are doing it. As I see the only way to increase liquidity is to sell, reduce interest rates or accept independent financial platforms, which can carry value and not affected by global insecurities. This is the worst devaluation of money globally. Are currencies and exchange rates still valid in a volatile Global environment? Comparing currency valuation across the world is in my opinion completely influenced by external factors and not value. I still believe the South African Rand is way undervalued in terms of value. Notwithstanding, it is based on sentiment and I cannot rely on this changing. The only values are in assets, store of value and diversification.

@Angie Goff Lack of energy is a symptom of decline. Lack of water is a disaster. I know it is on the list, but intervention here is a no-brainer. Stay without water for a few days and imagine.....please think about this. No cooking, no cleaning, no washing, no shower or bath and no poo flush. There is no backup like solar or batteries. It is all yours!!! Water shedding is near impossible, because the pipes that are empty will be boosted, with resulting bursts, reservoirs will be drained to lowest levels with all the bad stuff at the bottom going into our pipes and feeds. More interruptions with decline in water quality. I am a water engineer, and I see what is coming. We need private sector investment like we have for toll concessions. Government cannot do it.

Interesting. Principles sound, ideas and examples old. We are way beyond the industrial revolution. Mindset, Faith, Emotion, Commitment and Passion absolutely valid. Also feeding the subconscious which is proven science now as well as the Ëther" or universal connectivity and brain power. Superpowers. Also the power of consequence. One decision can change the world. Your child, writing or doing an experiment at the most basic level has massive influence. If you did not take that job that looked so nice but took one you love, it changed the world. "I prefer painting, but had clay, so I started sculpting, I made a weird statue of a cat, someone loved it. Now I have 20 people doing cats under my guidance. Now this market matures and everyone makes cats. It never stops. Scale!
