The left says the fed can print trillions to pay for their fantasy eco-welfare society. That will causes hyper inflation.
As a hedge, physical gold is too hard to trade for goods and services. How do you make change?
I am going to increase my hoard of .22 rounds. I think they will make a good unit of exchange.
It cannot unless you can get those trillions down to the lower and middle class. There is no mechanism to do that. EVERY PUBLIC AND INDUSTRIAL POLICY ENACTED OVER THE LAST 30 YEAR HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO KEEP WAGES SUPPRESSED. That's not changing.
Those that suppose any sort of ‘economy’ will exist in a SHTF world are being overly optimistic I believe, I am buying lead also, but only in anticipation of using it on dinner or to defend dinner from the hoardes of city millennial snowflakes that caused the $4!tstorm to begin with. I believe civilization will be lost like the dark ages of Europe before long barring the rapture of the Church and if that happens someone is welcome to my stuff.
