thats why if you have reserve funds they need to not be in us banks, they can close down and go out of business in a recession. Take physical wealth and move somewhere else if a really bad one happens.

You just decribed the appeal of sandbox games in the most morbid way lol. You are right, games let us do things you couldn't and they just give you more control. Sandbox games specifically just let you do whatever you want, from testin
