“You will be surprised how adaptable people in hyperinflation environments. It won’t be Mad Max level.”

Agree - it takes an EMP (or worse) to get to that level. Argentina is the textbook case.

Bottom line - you better have A LOT of stuff stored up (I have 4 years worth of everything non-perishable that I can think of) and be ready to defend it (not as prepared there, but will go down with a fight).

Argentina had one huge advantage that we won’t have. They have functioning economies around them. We won’t have that luxury. If the US economy collapses under the weight of its debt, the collapse is worldwide (actually, I think the collapse will start elsewhere, but that is beside the point).

I’m not saying it will be Mad Max (more like The Road? jk). But Argentina is not really a good parallel. This is unprecedented, largely because of the worldwide nature of the problem.

I would imagine as much a supply of needed medicines (in the case of say someone who has to inject insulin for diabetes, insulin and needles, for instance) as possible in case they are not available?

And for food as much dry and canned food as possible?
