X | E - Xponential Edge w/ Christian Ray FloresHow To Become Recession Proof in One MonthChristian Ray Flores unpacks how to become recession-proof in one month. Recessions are cyclical, inevitable, and good for a healthy economy in the long run. They are made worse by foolish government policies. Putin’s war in Ukraine and the massive disruption in energy flows and food supplies in an increasingly interdependent world are making things much worse. Another frustrating reason this coming recession is predicted to possibly descend into a market crash is inflation, mostly caused by a shortsighted response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Around 40% of all of the US dollars printed in the history of the United St...
