“All the angry demands for the government to do more will amount to naught, for the simple reason that the entire financial system has been built on the thin ice of a fiat monetary system… and that ice is in the process of cracking wide open. As a novice stoic, I know that, given the lay of the land in the degrading democracies, there is zero I can do about the current setup. And so, per dear Epictetus, if it is a matter out of my control, then there is nothing to be gained by worrying about it. There are, however, things that are in my control… just as they are in yours.”
