You're insane if you think 'campaign finance reform' is going to fix ANYTHING. Every time politicians try to 'reform' something, they DEFORM it even more!
As far as people saying the economy is better, they only see the TEMPORARY benefit that Trump's tax relief and economic wrangling has done. Obama joked about Trump needing a magic wand, but that's EXACTLY what Trump did - he magic-wanded the economy into a false stimulus.
Our entire economy is built on central banking and fiat currency, both of which inevitably collapse because it's all a scam. When the hard reset happens, people will return to historically proven stores of value that can be used for buying & selling. That's why precious metals are important to anyone who is even halfway serious about prepping. Gold, silver, nickel, copper, even in some instances platinum will all have their uses. Like I said, preppers who are not dummies understand that even the most primitive economies will default to precious metals.
