This episode was very helpful. I feel like I get it now: We don't have a disease that kills the government/economy, but more of a disease that weakens it and requires active management by the politicians to keep it from becoming fatal (and there is a proven method to do so, i.e., financial repression). The trick for the individual is, to the extent possible, not to be along for the ride because your savings are being diluted, just like the milk in your analogy.

I look forward to installment 3 wherein you presumably lay out what to equip your sail boat with as you explore this analogy, which I loved:

"You can jump off this ship any time as it sails into rougher and rougher waters. In my opinion, the sooner you get into your personal sailboat and go your own way, the better."
