Do not resist the great reset

OK, not trying to be confrontational, I look for things to change a way of thinking, and I thought maybe you had one, some people may say God, but that's not something you can prove

The great reset is a myth, it would depend on the wealthy elite giving up most of the things that make them the wealthy elite and destroying most of the things that allowed them to become the wealthy elite.

Ivory towers neither build nor pay for themsleves.

don't have money in the bank and won't notice a reset of the dollar
have liens against their home an car, they already "own" nothing, the bank owns it. you have not been able to afford to buy anything for a long time.
most people live paycheck to paycheck and will not notice whether the glass beads they use to buy things are green, blue or red as long as they are spendable.

That's patently untrue, even in third world countries a significant percentage of the population have some form of savings if they live in an urban area. It's why when currencies devalue there are bank runs.

Surely you must have seen the pictures of people queuing for hours at ATMS in Zimbabwe or Honduras or places like that.

The median bank balance in the US is $5,300.
Median means denoting or relating to a value or quantity lying at the midpoint of a frequency distribution of observed values or quantities, such that there is an equal probability of falling above or below it.

So there are an equal number of people with less than $5300 and more than $5300.
Personally, my experience is that winning or losing $5300 is not enough to make me or break me. I have kids so I have been there done that, got the T-Shirt.
If you believe $5300 is an amount of money that will be materially affected by the Great Reset then please remember that the next time you ask your parental unit to borrow some cash. (I only say that because it is a great example and I have three adult children who have had to have cars replaced this year and had neither the money or credit score to do it)

At risk of getting my wrist slapped for off topic activity, a shout-out to our friendly neighborhood mods for their service when certain unhelpful pests simply won't take a hint.
