I do not understand basic economics or investing.
That being said, how do I prepare for a recession or depression that will probably come down the pipe in the next year or two? What do I invest in? Where do I put my money? I probably can't be dinar-pilled but I'm open to other suggestions.
Don't ask here for one. People have been calling for a huge recession for decades and 2008 is the best we got. You're LIKELY better off just investing in a few ETF's. https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Lazy_portfolios Invest early. and often.

Of course a black swan event could come and fuck us all, in that case you want guns and ammo.
