I asked GROK to summarize the video (the risk is real, but personally I couldn’t tell you how much) it was more a gold and silver pitch.

$220T Derivatives Crisis threatens our economy.... based on sub-prime auto loans this time Well the video turned into an infomercial for gold and silver. I submit that IF, we have the type of systemic collapse that she envisioned gold and silver wont' mean squat. Remember in Covid when the whole supply chain got F'd up? There will be no more food unless you are a prepper and have built the ability to survive independent of the supply chain: fishing farming, hunting. At theis point, the most important asset besides the Preparation will be weapons and ammunition so you can defend what is yours. Probably less than 1 in 100 will be prepared. All the financial assets in reality are what Jordan's Belfort's mentor described in The Wolf of Wall Street - Fugazi. The whole valuation structure of currency and assets will collapse. In 2007 the crisis was triggered by several factors: rising interest rates and the accompanying rise in ARM rates, artificially inflated asset prices (mainly RE), Credit Default Swaps (CDS - a derivative type), a total disregard for time-tested lending standards, lack of proper regulatory oversight. Now, there is a lot more debt and what worked in 2007 won't work now. Another factor that you need to consider is that this will be a world-wide event and raises the likelihood of war. We also have half of Congress, much of the rest of the world and 1/3 our population actively hoping for a financial collapse. Yeah, they really never did anything about derivatives - she is right there. In essence this could be an EMP to the financial system.
