I would move! lol Where I live, I have friends that farm and own cattle. There is a winery within 5 miles that grow their own grapes. I have a friend that builds guns from scratch. I have a friend, part Indian that is an expert hunter, and a lot of friends that deer hunt and make their own deer summer sausage. I don't own physical gold yet but when the time comes I will start to build a network. I agree it won't be as easy as having gold bars in your house and then waiting for collapse and then just throw gold bars around, there will have to be pre-networking done.
So our local commercial farms can produce enough food in the year after the economy collapses to feed 1200 people. What will the farmer do with your gold bar when a couple thousand hungry people show up at his farm wanting food?
I think he'll take my bar and make a deal with me, then send the others to the reincarnation of FDR, whoever that will be.
Do you think he has enough guns and ammo to chase them away?
Did they in the Great Depression?
If he doesn't does he then give them food or risk dying at the hands of a hungry mob. If he decides to give the food out then what is your long term deal worth?
We will defend what is ours. The rest will go to government as their savior like they always do. Yeah it may resemble a serfdom for a while. That's the way it it go if it comes to that.
A depression isn't a total collapse. During the Great Depression he dollar was still viable.
From reading your posts you seem to believe if the dollar collapses that the government will still function as it does now or did during the Great Depression. How will they do that? Issue new money? If the current dollar is valueless give us a reason why anyone would believe a new dollar would have value?
"We will defend what is ours. The rest will go to government as their savior like they always do. Yeah it may resemble a serfdom for a while. That's the way it it go if it comes to that."
The government will need food to pass out. I wonder where they will get it?
