Bigworld, The natural resource and energy sectors may ultimately get hit just as hard as other stocks by a big financial / economic tailspin, since they are so sensitive to economic activity. They benefit from inflation, but not if the US/global economies crumble.
What you say about the US going down the tubes is true, but how it all plays out is still an unknown, especially the timeline. One thing for sure though, once the CBDC is firmly ensconced, we can kiss our liberties goodbye. Several generations of Americans have been taught to embrace being ruled by 'the experts', so they may be fine with it. As Huxley said, the idea is to have the public willingly embrace their slavery. That describes a lot of the 'woke' zombies out there who have thoroughly internalized the media narratives, and have no problem with censorship, government edicts, etc. The idea that this stuff is anathema to American principles never even occurs to them. A very bad sign, but good if you are a globalist ghoul / control freak watching the 'progress' being made upon the population.
