Am I the only one here is a fan of the prospect of World War III? I would love to see the West go to war against an Axis of China-Russia-Iran-North Korea.
Imagine what this would do for commodities! The coal mines would be cranking out unprecedented amounts of coal in America and Australia -- even in Europe. Other mines would be built in the thousands. Factories would spring up everywhere. Everybody's working for the weekend! Burning the 3 AM oil, as Elon puts it.
Deep down, I am a total Western Civilization patriot. I just hate its current decadence. The fires of war would, I believe, burn away that decadence and refocus our priorities and re-naturalize us.
The only reason I consider life in China or Russia is because of the prospect of longer-lasting coal mining there. But in a WWIII scenario, the USA would have to mine coal like crazy to fuel the wartime economy. Coal would be doing great along with all the other commodities.
If you want to get rich, consider advocating for the Third World War.
