AOC is an idiot but the debt is not the problem. It’s the moral hazard of free money without purpose. People without purpose stagnate and die. Both literally and metaphorically. Socialism is a cancer that kills both the real economy and the human spirit.

For years now, I've been lectured that gold was the best SHTF commodity. I've always replied that when the SHTF, you'd be happy to trade your gold for SPAM, ounce for ounce.

Well, now the virus has hit the fan, and the trade is now evens for TP or bread.

You gold bugs can eat it or wipe your ass with it. Hope you're delighted.

I thought that we went on the .22lr standard back in 2008.

Yeah,well one day you’ll be able to buy everything with just the flip of a gold coin. People won’t trust cash and want something REAL. You’ll be owned by those with jingle in their pockets!

What is the proper way to count back change in gold? I am sure that this will be terribly important.

prefer to eat something better than spam in the future so trying diversify my investments. Maybe 15 per cent or so in precious metals if it gets really bad. I don't think it will be depression like conditions but there will a pretty deep recession I think worldwide. Id prefer not to live like a pauper in the future before Im too old to do anything. And do a lot of out of state and some out of country hunting and fishing.

That is the role of junk silver. A silver dime is worth approx. $2.00 .... think about that
Gold is to store wealth, silver is for trade, just like when it was considered money

That is good to know, but still wonder about the all-important count-back - exactly how will it be worded?

Geez Rocky, not often we see this side of you. Why so angry?

Stocks and fiat can and have gone to zero....... gold and silver never have

Makes one wonder how much about 20 lbs of silver coins would be worth today.

Some USA and others older Mexican coins they are the size of silver dollars.

Under the gold standard all gold is owned by the government and worth about $800 an ounce.

I don't recall anyone of any standing ever calling gold
Quote
the one true last-ditch commodity
.

Commodites are valuable by nature. Corn can be as valuable as gold, but I don't want even $1000 worth in my pocket.

Many decades ago ( when I was a kid ) I was on a Bus for a trip of some sort . I got to talking to the kid in the next seat . We talked and talked and he told me he was from Germany and that he and his parents escaped from Germany during WW2 . I asked where he lived and he said on a 500 Acre Farm in Upstate NY . If you're from Montana or Wyoming 500 Acres aint much , but NY is different even in those days . I asked him how his parents could afford to buy such a Farm as refugees . He told me they converted all their holdings into ( I think ) Platinum which was then formed in parts for their car ...... I think he said nuts and bolts . Not sure where he said they crossed the border . Sometimes Commodities do work in dangerous times

If we were to return to the gold standard you would have to take our total wealth and divide it into the gold supply and revalue accordingly. Gold would be well north of $10k ounce

More accurately, some figure north of $10,000.00 in notes would be redeemable for an ounce of gold.
