The inflationary cycle was created by a biological agent deliberately released from a certain asian country. Everything would be completely normal right now if that never happened. I dont agree with the trade war either, free trade benefits the mass populace and keeps costs low. But I can say categorically that China is the number one problem facing the existence of human civilization.
Cash is the financial embodiment of freedom. Centralised banking and highly regulated financial systems are the stepping stones to overreaching government control.
Ah well. Good thing South East Asia is a region, not a country. Philippines, Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia are all on offer. Thailand was always the gem, the step ahead but times change and nothing lasts forever. Let's see how it pans out but I wont live in hope forever. Life's short.
Bizarre. This reluctance to return to normal has always been a dodgy phenomenon. I wont speculate as to any reasons why this is occuring but I'll call it out for what it is - unbelievably fucking stupid.
