Speaking from a personal experience I had yesterday...now is a good time to plant some seeds for waking people up. that is not "politically' motivated. It's about something they are concerned deeply about - their money and future
In a work call, people were talking about the bank collapses....wondering what is going on/what will happen, as well as being open to listening to alternative opinions.
A few good questions to ask (and feel free to add more in the comments so others can use them) are:
- if the fed knows raising interest rates is causing the economy to get worse, then why do they purposefully keep doing it?
- The FDIC insurance limit is $250k per depositor, then what do you and is any bank truly safe? What is the alternative? How do you protect yourself and how do banks really operate with your money?
- Do you know about the Bank Panic of 1907 and why it happened as well as why was the Federal Reserve Act / the Fed created and by whom (history repeats)?
My lil sis and I were in our bank yesterday and asked if they are Basel IV compliant. They had no clue (supposedly) what we were talking about. I am far from rich but I am blessed beyond measure. What little I have is split into precious metals/crypto and enough in the bank to have an open account. The looks of the inside says they are ready to close with bare shelves and the main security on the side entrance doors is a large jingle bell hanging on the door.
