No cash needed.
The rolling store always gave the kids free hard candy because they would be looking for the rolling store to come and alert the adults of that fact. I remember looking off in the distance to a rolling cloud of dust (dirt roads) hoping the rolling store was coming.
Cashless, barter society?
Shoot, they do that here, too.
And note to the Swedes - if a media outlet knows you're storing cash in your microwave, so do the police.
Isn’t Sweden one of Sander’s Utopias he often cites?
That reminds me of that movie called “Second Hand Lions”....
A seed salesman came calling up to the ranch these two old world-traveled coots bought and sold them a passel of seeds of all varieties out of the trunk of his car.
They diligently plowed, rowed and hoed and marked all the booty they’d get when the crops came up. All of it was corn!....funny ass movie.

Play Fallout: New Vegas.
One Day Bottlecaps WILL be Money, backed by something truly priceless.
Water.
Lost all my cash in a boating accident...

It’s the eternal totalitarian dream: a feudal society where the “elites” have total, absolute control over you and all your assets. A neverending cycle that plays out over and over again through time.
All roads eventually lead to a kleptocracy. Some faster than others.
When dealing with the local tradesmen, I have started to ask if they will take gold or silver. Many will, but are willing to give a bit of a discount for cash.
A business associate built a house in a rural area and paid many of his subs in cash. He saved a bundle.
No more COLD CASH in Sweden. It’s all HOT NUKED
I can almost see the Thomas Hart Benton print. Beautiful imagery.
90% silver dimes, 1/10 oz rounds etc. for the black market of the future.
PMs. Little paper. No debt.
I’ve moved all but a tiny portion of my money to Charles Schwab. I don’t think they will be affected by what banks do. Am I right, or wrong?
I want to see only one thing, any more:
The complete collapse of society.
It is the only way we can be free.
I am rapidly becoming a full-on Anarchist.
