Orange pill the landlady. Probably easier said than done, but maybe not impossible.
I’m not too worried about my neighbors and such, but my government (USA) is not to be trusted. Basically, the whole establishment was taken over (a long time ago) by radical elites who would be perfectly happy to burn this entire place to the ground and then rule over the ashes. That’s not really my game. I don’t really understand that mentality either. Why, as an elite, would you f**k the working class? What benefit does that provide to you? On the short-term it provides more money to the elites, which just becomes a game to them rather than necessity. On the long-term it erodes the elite’s way of life because they’re largely incapable of providing for themselves so they’re reliant upon the group of people that they’re screwing. Why would they do that?
Anyway, as far as financial oversight goes, we the people (of all countries) ultimately have the power to tell the establishment where to go and what we’re going to put up with. The trick is to get some small percentage of the population all acting in relative unison to send the message to the overlords that we’re not going to take it. Bitcoin is an interesting step in that direction. It doesn’t look like revolt so it’s not largely perceived as such. All the cards are laid out on the table for everyone to see so not a whole lot of people are threatened by it, well, maybe the banks and a few governments are but then they should be threatened by it. That’s kind of the whole point.
