Everything went wrong, practical advice to prevent it from ending worse

everything will go wrong
Everything went badly, yet he insists: "Everything will be fine, stay at home" says Caputo, player of Sassuolo, 800 thousand euros in salary per year.
Covid, the countdown begins.
The Italian people, for a change, allow themselves to be seduced by the easier perspective, the one that predicts that all problems will dissolve by themselves. As if a financial crisis, pumped up to the sound of lockdowns and restrictions, had an expiration date and as if at that point, as if by magic, the world were to flourish again around us like a new Eden.
Is it true or not?
It is a pity that the economy is not a divine or even natural fact, but a product of human ingenuity; for those who have it. And who needs to get busy.
Without effort, without ingenuity and without effort. As if the real duty we are paying was a divine punishment and not a consequence of doing the opposite of what needed to be done to deal with the Chinese influence.
Without the slightest hunch that the worst is yet to come.
With the end of the truce between European states, aid will also cease (if, which and when it will arrive, there are no certainties), while the lightning rod on BTPs offered by the ECB could also gradually cease.
It's time to take stock. It is time to take stock of what is forthcoming.
The notices have all been sent this time.
The first comes directly from the ECB through the note on the desk that the new rules for bank stability are about to come into force:
everything will go wrong
Lockdown and NPL
Even according to the governor of BankItalia, Ignazio Visco, things are bad. He warned about the upcoming bank failures in both Italy and Europe:
Visco, it looks bad: risk of bank failures
In fact, we said, without work there are no refreshments, help and shortages that take.
Now we can say it: everything went wrong, but it could end even worse, so let's see how to behave to avoid the default. Our personal one.

The first piece of advice is therefore to stop taking sides in defense of this or that hoax channel that they want to close because it peddles false and sensationalist news without putting them in their context. And I'm talking about both sovereign and pro-European blogs.

You have to stand up for yourself and your family.

We're not going through the real mess today, but it will come when the pandemic is over.
Without work there are no refreshments, help and shortages that take.
And to pay will be companies and contract employees: in short, many of those who today, together with state, retired university students and retirees, ask for restrictions and acclaim the lockdown, because they believe they are guaranteed.

The reasons are under everyone's nose. The first is that aid will stop arriving from Europe that day and Greece-style austerity will resume.

But for almost a year I have been repeating that everyone has to take care of saving their own ass and yet even among my followers I see people who do everything except wake up.

“Everyone for himself and God for all”, must become the motto. Like it or not, that's what awaits us.

We must enter the order of ideas that we must save ourselves, as individuals, families and small communities, of the type of a few dozen individuals capable of supporting each other.

It is not clear where all the firepower of honesty has gone, given that in 2020 390,000 companies closed .

What will happen if the restrictions continue, when (not if) the tax collection cards are unlocked? When will the funds for layoffs run out? And the freeze on layoffs? And how long can commercial activities and companies remain closed?

How to defend your savings

Visco told us plainly. Over-exposed banks with non-performing loans, which restrictions and lockdowns have aggravated and increased, will close. They will fail.

And there are not enough capital set aside by banks to compensate even those savings below 100,000 euros as the bail-in rules provide.
Because if the system collapses, there is no guarantee it will hold. Clear?
So the second tip is: if it goes wrong, choose a safe bank.
The following video will give you all the most appropriate advice.
It is taken from a channel that I have been following for a while and that I advise you to follow in your turn, because it is very well done, it is accessible to everyone while offering extremely professional content and also uses the right tones to inform.

Make it as if it all goes wrong – set aside your savings safely

The third piece of advice I have already given several times over the years and is a bit like grandma's method. How to set aside your savings without putting them in a checking account.

In addition to choosing an INDEPENDENT financial advisor: that is, a professional who does your interests and not those of the bank or fund that pays him the salary, he begins to inform you about which are the safest investments.
I'm not just talking about investments based on guaranteed annuities or capital preservation, but also all those investments not subject to forced withdrawals or assets.

I repeat for the umpteenth time, in my opinion it is unthinkable that a political government should make a patrimonial – unless it went to strike the very rich – but with these moonlight, facts of vacillating governments that sooner or later will lead to a technical government , which therefore does not need to pay attention to consent, anything can be.

Finally, the usual old friends of all time: the cashier's check and the safety deposit box (as long as it will remain a secret corner where finance, banks and politics will not be able to poke their nose).

These two instruments are not taxable, they cannot be violated by patrimonial or forced withdrawals.


Investments in entrepreneurial activities

Investments in productive activities deserve a separate chapter.
Personally I think that with the defeat of Trump – since it is equivalent to the victory of financial capital and Big tech, which financed Biden's election campaign – the financial and commercial axis has definitively shifted towards China, putting in the hands of Beijing. the command stick of the world economy for the next few years.

Not only that, but the fuse lit under the American powder keg is getting shorter by the day. The US has been in decline for at least 50 years. Not since January 6th. Kerouac told us in On the road that the free ride was ending.
But do you really believe that idiots rule only in Italy?

After exporting their production and jobs to China, they now find themselves printing paper as the only lever to keep the economy and consumption alive. Paper used to consume imported products until the bubble explodes.
And this will also affect Italy, which in order not to miss anything, presses on the accelerator pedal doing the same thing.

Come on, let's close everything because China is producing what we need!

This will result in a natural asphyxiation of the Italian market, of course, but also of the European one.
Vice versa we will see the opening of the eastern one, not only in China, which today, just happened, is the only one recovering (+ 2%).
Those who have broad enough shoulders, able to protect their brand and their patents (wishes) will not have many choices.

But what interests us today is finally acknowledging that Italy is really close to making a bang. What will Italian entrepreneurs be able to do? We'll see.

For all the others: save those who can. For many of them, everything will be really bad. For ten years now, reality has been knocking on our door every day to tell us to take stock of the situation.


From bad to worse: the economic policy of suicide

Let's try to change the perspective from which we look at things. We are experiencing, bad luck wants, one of the most important changes in our history.

It was inevitable that sooner or later we would end up against each other. The world is changing and it is not in the hands of ordinary citizens to govern the change, but of the elites.

Mario Monti is right. With the end of the pandemic, Europe will pull the purse strings again and make us do austerity again.

  • What were the refreshments to companies (those who saw them) good for if they were made to remain closed?
  • What are the refreshments for if in the last year we have been able to shop only online, often of goods produced in the only market left open: China?

The banks that have connected the loans to the same companies that have not been able to work, will go bankrupt because they will not be able to return the loans entrusted.

Not only that, but all the rain subsidies that do not encourage production and the internal market are done by creating new public debt.
How will we pay it back in the absence of taxpayers that caused the 10% drop in GDP?

Sorry to have to point this out, but Easy Explained Economy was the first to say that we had entered the war and that it would end badly.

The European treaties and the statute of the ECB still give us sufficient autonomy to introduce instruments to support the economy. We list some of them:CCF , Minibot , statonote , internal circulation currency, state currency based on blochain …
These are forms of issuing tax credits and currency parallel to the euro which, if introduced while debating whether to leave or remain in the euro, would allow us to save the economic and social fabric of the country without getting lost in debates and debates for the next few years. disputes in the square.

Too bad, however, that if you keep everything closed they turn into waste paper, like any other coin spent in the same conditions.

A country that wants to call itself advanced cannot ignore the ability to keep itself informed on the issues that concern it most closely.
Italy has once again shown that it prefers to stand on the balcony with a candle in hand to sing tearful songs, as a reaction to adverse causes and as an extreme gesture of self-defense.

Only this time, as in recent decades, our politicians – assuming they still have the faculties and the ability to protect us and this is not the case – are a jumble of runaways who have not even been able to find a job for themselves – made the due exceptions.

This says a lot about the chances of saving those who have spent the years between roundabouts, slogans on honesty and kasta and in the square between BLM and sardines, without a parachute in the backpack.

But sooner or later everything ends and everything is renewed. Speeding up events is actually saving us a lot of time.
