Touched a nerve, didn't I? Not that it matters, but I'm an educated, salaried professional. Either way, and unless I misunderstood your original post, it sounded shady.
You seem knowledgeable about many topics and post a lot of sensible points on the prepper threads, but you'll never lecture me on capitalism or economics.
By the way, just because something is legal doesn't make it right.
