belligerent and confused? Nah.. I have my shxt together and will survive just fine. We simply have different views.

Money is important in a civilized society and how much you have puts you in a certain class with other folks who have the same but it doesn’t matter in an uncivilized society where everyone is dependent upon their skills not their worth.

As for property it’s where you are at the moment in a collapsed society because you own nothing. If you create something good others will want it.

Protecting a Chicken farm is one thing but bringing them to a market in a collapsed society is suicide. I thought I made that clear. People will kill for food and that would happen in a matter of a few weeks once the stores are empty.

Sit on your gold and have fun with the chickens. In some societies I hear they have dual purpose.

I’ll take a deer steak any day with a good brook trout, potatoes or carrots and some ice cold spring water where ever I’m at.

Why would I be bringing chickens to market? This is a wholesale operation. The market is where the chickens are.

But for those who are trying to sell stuff retail: we have examples from recent history (Bosnia for instance) where society collapsed.

People traded like wildfire. You could get anything: guns, pianos, wedding dresses. Markets (and the approaches to them) became heavily defended, and anyone who tried even the smallest theft was killed without recourse to law.

That's the thing. We imagine a lawless society - but we forget that a society where people must trade to survive will enforce laws-of-property with a trigger-pull and a shovel.

Hope this was helpful.
