COVID-19 will be with humanity forever, humanity should be mitigating the risk not trying to eradicate it – May 24, 2020,
Have you ever met, known, or spoke to someone who has had someone die from COVID-19? I have a total of 3 people to date. When these people who had COVID-19 affect someone close to them spoke to me face to face, eyeball to eyeball, instead of speaking my truth, I didn’t say a thing, why? Because there’s nothing I could say or do to make them feel better. The bottom line was at least on paper the doctors said that COVID-19 was the root cause of their loved ones’ death.
I’m not a medical professional, and the medical professionals I have in my family, and that I know personally have told me that if a drop of COVID-19 is found on the patient, they’re going to blame the cause of death on COVID-19, which even they as medical professionals will argue is a good idea because it warns the public of the seriousness of the disease.
With that said, it should be noted that more people are recovering than people who are dying. Every time you see a headline that says 150 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed, it’s not a death sentence, but in the minds of most people because of how COVID-19 is being portrayed it’s imagined that all these confirmed cases equate to death, furthermore, there are people in leadership roles who approach problems in a manner that says it’s better to overly safe and protective than sorry, these people similar to Capitalists like myself, approach situations anticipating what the future might look like if the worst possible situation happens.
Personally I don’t think there’s nothing conspiratorial about people who want to approach COVID-19 with extreme caution, the problem is these people are not our masters. I’d love for the world to embrace free-market capitalism because I think it’s a cure for poverty and disease, but nobody has to or should be forced to obey me, I’m their equal, they have the same rights as I do, just because they have a title of a government official doesn’t make them smarter than me, nor does it give them the right to tell me how to live my life.
So with that said, the numbers are coming in and the global economy is deflating and we’re talking about deflation in the sense of lack of productivity. Money is merely the carrot for the donkey, the reality as Bitcoin has proven is that money can be whatever we want it to be, money is nothing more than a convenient form of bartering, what gives money value is productivity and if the world is being less productive and the governments keep printing money for COVID-19, eventually countries reach a period where the money can’t buy anything because everything that money can buy is scarce or in short supply.
Price controls can’t fix shortages, welfare can’t fix shortages, shortages are shortages and at least in Canada, Justin Trudeau refuses to budge on regulations, which means if there’s a recession it’s going to be very hard for the private sector, namely small business to get us out of this.

You see small businesses are the backbone to every great society because as they compete with each the cost of living decrease, however, if as an example Justin Trudeau believes that a carbon tax is vital to the survival of humanity, all of sudden on top of other job-killing regulations, the cost of energy for a small business owner just became artificially higher, this means it’s harder for the small business owner to hire people and it also means the small business owner has to charge higher prices for goods and services
Now, if you know anything about small business owners, most of them want to get inventory out the door, the small business owners who have extremely high prices, have those high prices because either they have no competition or their cost of doing business is very high via regulations, you have to remember, that the average Canadian prefers the larger corporate establishments over the smaller business, we’ve been socially engineered to think this way because of Liberal Party policies which are Labour Union driven and in favor of larger corporations who the Liberals believe contribute more to taxes!
Income taxes are the preferred taxes of any government because it comes directly from productivity, something was made and the Government got to take a part of the proceeds, yes, of course, it’s a shakedown, but voters aren’t complaining, so why should the government stop doing it?
Canada also has a Regressive taxation problem, in Scandinavian countries, regressive or sales taxes are the tax of choice, in Canada as Canadians we get screwed in two ways, income taxes and sales taxes and to add insult to injury, we have what I believe is one of the lowest Corporate tax rates on the planet!
So, in the event of a deflationary economic period, with Trudeau as leader Canada could face some serious challenges. I don’t want to sound all doom and gloom, the reality is I have no idea what’s going to happen, now obviously you can tell after reading this post how I plan to prepare, but I don’t know what the future holds.
It’s a novel coronavirus, this is unchartered territory, what I do know is productivity is down and a lot of people don’t want to return to work and if they feel forced to work they’re going to sue or vote for a politician who will tell them words they want to hear.
In a progressive society, these are the periods in which progressive ideas are challenged. But don’t always assume that good guys win, the good guys are sometimes reliant on the bad guys to survive, which makes the good and bad guys intertwined and this is often how great societies are destroyed!
The assumption by the people who lived during the good times was that we are untouchable, our leaders always find a way, but sometimes there is an unexpected sea of change, that forcibly becomes your new normal! Argentina is still a beautiful country, but economically it’s a disaster and the people of Argentina have gotten used to their currencies hyper-inflating! Furthermore, a lot of Argentinians are against austerity measures, that’s how this thing works!
If you don’t know, you don’t know, if you’ve been brainwashed from you’re a baby that capitalism is bad, you’re ideology will tell you that no matter what those evil greedy capitalists can’t win, if you have to shoot yourself n the foot, you’ll shoot yourself in the foot, that’s how Socialism, Fascism and communism win the battle of ideas! I personally think this backward thinking is dominant in Canadian culture and I think we might have to learn things the hard way!
The warning calls for Trudeau to change course are even coming from his supporters now! Sure many are still writing in code language in fears they’ll be fired, but the warning signs are there, so consider preparing yourselves accordingly!
