The World Has Changed - And We’re Still Pretending It Hasn’t

Matthew Piepenburg offers a sharp, unfiltered summary of the current global financial and societal landscape. From the abandonment of the gold standard to the unchecked expansion of central bank balance sheets, he outlines the systemic consequences we can no longer ignore. This is not a forecast—it’s a reality check.

We left the gold standard behind a generation ago. What did we get in return?

* A manipulated inflation narrative no one fully believes.

* Central banks printing trillions with no accountability.

* Asset bubbles where 90% of market wealth flows to the top 10%.

* Historic debt levels and a society teetering on inequality.

This isn’t doom and gloom—it’s the reality behind the headlines. The dollar isn’t dead, but its undisputed rule is. We’re not just entering a new era.

We’re entering a multi-polar, dysfunctional, and uncertain world order.

No hype. No conspiracy. Just facts.
