The effect inflation has on the rural areas, and how to counter it.

The inflation economy is based on debt growth. The geographic areas with the highest debt growth also get the highest price growth, in terms of wages and house prices. This attracts people and capital from the rural areas.

The result is depopulation of the rural areas and uncontrolled growth of the cities.

In Asia, for example, the United Nations estimates that the urban population will increase by almost two billion by 2050. It goes hand in hand with the exponential global debt growth, which was 70% in just two years during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It's as if the debt-based system plugs millions of cannulas scattered across the countryside, bleeding the rural districts slowly to death via a tightly knit web of plastic tubes.

Over time this creates major problems for your country, for instance with regards to the cost and quality of food production.

It also creates huge challenges with maintenance of critical infrastructure, both in the cities and out in the districts.

The inflation policy is almost like a cancer for your country, and the effect it has on where people live is one of the most visible symptoms.

If you read governmental white papers etc. on demographics and district politics you probably won't find anything about inflation. Instead they are filled with all kinds of proposals on how one can stimulate growth with for instance subsidies and tax exemptions. I have done that job and haven't found anything on inflation in such papers here in Norway.

What few seem to understand is that the political measures that the experts and politicians propose aren't nearly powerful enough to counter the instant bleeding of the countryside caused by the inflation policy.

The question is what you can do about this.

We have two effective tools that we can use. And these tools have a stronger network effect than anything else.

They are:

- information
- money

The first and most important thing to do is to share this information.

You won't find it other places. The schools don't teach it, and the MSM don't mention it.

Even economists who understand inflation rarely say anything about the effect inflation has on demographics. I have read, discussed and written a lot about inflation and I rarely see this aspect of it being mentioned. So, sharing this information is very important.

The second thing is to start using silver and gold coins and bitcoin as gifts to your friends and family. Tell them that you give them something that stores value better than your national currency, which typically lose half of its value in about 10 years, due to the policy of increasing the supply of more money into society. And tell them that by doing this you support a healthier development in your country, because the national currency sucks the lifeblood out of the rural areas while it makes the cities grow in an uncontrolled manner. When they ask how, you have the answers above.

Information and money are also important in the way they connect people who don't know each other.
Combining these two resources can be very effective.

You can try to tell people that they are free to pay for goods and services you sell, for instance when you sell used sports equipment, in silver coins gold coins or bitcoin. And if it's
you who's buying for instance a used bike, you can give the seller the same alternatives. Tell them why you prefer to do it like this and they will learn something from you.

In this way you give people valuable information and forms of money that counter the destructive policy of inflation at the same time.

The network effect of sharing of information and using sound money as gifts and payments is extremely powerful.
