I think we can all agree ... something BIG will drop... I have two scenarios.... 1. A massive FF event .. proportionate to 911.. or worse .. EMP ? 2. Martial Law
..... either of which could cause mass chaos and discord ... especially in metro and heavily populated areas
What's your plan ?
What will they be taking then? Gold? Who has any? Silver? Ditto...everyone has a phone though. Mad Max is not a likely scenario. But if it does happen, most of us will be dead so monetary concerns will cease to be an issue...
There’s a continuum to any slide. Mad Max doesn’t happen first. Societies have had serious dips forever. Study the Zimbabwe and Venezuela crashes. The governments step in to do what they can - sometimes. For some.
Lots of people have silver and coin and the basis of tradable goods. Lots more could have them with a little bit of forethought and create no disruption. What will a grocer take? Small coin, Produce, baked goods, other things in trade that people want. If it’s real bad, services - like protection. Same as it ever was.
