Trump's war looks like the world will go into a depression. Demand for silver looks like it'll fall. But there are many other factors.
But the US dollar is also collapsing. So if you've got cash and that cash is decreasing in purchasing power, precious metals are still the best deal.

One name, five books, a singular journey...by William Arthur Holmes
Dobie spends his 20s in L.A., bouncing between temp jobs, and gets involved with a cult member named Venelia. When that ends badly, he escapes to Kuala Lumpur, where he's swept into the orbit of Riva, a secret-agent-in-training.
Dobie next finds himself in Nashville where he marries a Riva look‑alike. When he and a co-worker turn whistleblower against their employer, they end up in Witness Protection.
Dobie comes out of hiding and returns to his hometown, Louisville. He thinks his luck has turned when he wins the lottery. And it might have, had he not taken that money and run for president. Unsurprisingly, that ends badly, too.
Trying to make sense of the universe, Dobie takes the next logical step, writes a manifesto, and hits the road on a speaking tour. The universe -- or at least its representative in the form of a little blue alien named Semmy -- is not helpful.
While evading Colonel Charonne and his enforcer, Major Watson, Dobie's luck takes a turn for the better upon metting Kaylie -- the first thing in his universe that actually makes sense.

I haven't watched it yet, but I actually like the social credit score idea, in theory. The problem, as usual, is that it won't be run honestly.

She's just driving us crazy. Luckily, Tara is taking the brunt of it. I had to get out and walk around town in the freezing cold, just for the sake of getting out.

We made it this far! The plane ride was terrible for several minutes when we had to fasten our seat belts, which Elizabeth did not want to do.

We visited Elizabeth again today. We caught her when she was in the music room with all the other kids in her age group.
