The virtues of Capitalism and the Free Market are touted greatly by the establishment, and in concept they are beneficial. But why do the same rich who preach Free Market capitalism, push goverments to pad their pockets and protect their interests. That is not free market.

Oh sure billionaires like Mark Cuban want to keep their billions, but when Silicon Valley Bank went broke, they got paid off. When I go broke, no one bales me out, but when billionares lose money, the taxpayer bails them out? Again and again? And yet they still want to call this a "Free Market"? Seriously?

And not just him, but many "Free Markets" such as sugar production and ethanol production are losing business in the US, but thats OK, the government takes money from the taxpayers and gives it to the ethanol and sugar producers so they can still operate at a loss. How is that free market? Is the taxpayer happy about this?

There are many "Free Market" examples:

• Ethanol Production Subsidies
• Sugar Production Subsidies
• Dairy Production Subsidies
• Big Three Auto Protecting Tarrifs
• Oil Exploration Subsidies
• Corporate "Business Expense" Vacations, Jets, Events, etc..
• Many Many More

The people working and surviving as workers or self employed small businesses are not flooded with free government guarantees and subsidies. I guess they are just taxpayers, must be that is all the government thinks we are good for. Guess we all should be farmers since in 2022, 60% of all farm revenue in the US went to farmers from tax payers via government programs. Yes that is right, farmers make more from government payments than they make selling crops.

Knowing all of this, is it time to invest in something other than US dollars? Is farm land an answer?

The alternative to knowledge and adaptation, in this case is slowly losing your savings value, as is occuring in Venezuela...
