Is it "Special Olympics" night on FR or something?
You must be new around here. I assume you know that there is no historic collapse where every economy on the planet is dependent on each other for economic survival. You have to rely on the imaginations of writers and futurists to get some insight. Anyway, my post was meant in jest because of the hundreds of Gold threads that I have seen. Usually in every thread you have the "you can't eat Gold," "Gold isn't an investment, its a hedge against inflation," and "one ounce of Gold is always worth about what a good suit will cost," "Gold isn't used for anything in manufacturing so keep Silver," "I keep food, supplies and my favorite metal: Lead instead of Gold," etc.
I don't understand why you would bring up Special Olympics, it is a great organization that helps people in need. I hope you were not denigrating it.
