Who would you buy it from? Especially if they are as shut down as you are.

It seems there was a bank strike in England.

People kept writing checks, trading checks, and many predicted a train wreck when it was over.

Not so.

CashisKing;
Good afternoon to you sir, I hope that the Thanksgiving weekend is behaving for you all and you're well.

If I may, I'll add another scenario for you which happened to us here in rural BC.

It was 2003 and a fairly major forest fire started just a wee bit down the road. The cause eventually turned out to be an eagle landing on a power pole or at least that's my understanding. The bird didn't make it, the power went off for a fairly large chunk of the neighborhood and the fire started, that much I know.

The local gas station, as well as a food mart had a generator, but there was no inner webs so all transactions needed to be completed with cash.

It was a hot Okanagan day right around 100° and windy, so in short order we were given a half hour to load the horses and evacuate our property - which we did, then dropped over to pick up my Mother in Law who was on 15 minute alert.

Now we had our family and her to take care of and no transactions of any kind were possible without cash anywhere in town.

Anyways, we're fairly stocked with all sorts of things that the uncertain vagaries of life might throw our way here in rural BC, so along with tools to fight a fire and clear a road if we needed to do that to evacuate, we had enough cash to buy all we'd need for a week and enough to lend out to any of our neighbors who didn't have the cash on hand.

Just like the 10lb fire extinguisher, the 8000lb winch, recovery gear, water, food and a noise maker of some description, it never hurts to be prepared.

All the best to you all this Thanksgiving sir, may none of us ever need the emergency gear we've got ready.

Dwayne

You drop it. I made a simple comment about ammo being good currency, you gotta go and act like a dick. Grow up.


Ballz... game on.

I told you keep you bleeding vagina out of my posts... you can't help it... you get it... move over Flave.



Good gawd.

Some people have made the decision to plan for a short event, as well as a medium and/or long lasting one. It all revolves around how long it lasts methinks.

Some people like cash, silver coins, gold, oil, and lead...

Now, there is a bold question to ask on a public forum. whistle

I always have some emergency cash in the gun safe. A few months ago I got to thinking if the house was to catch on fire no way the cash would survive even in the safe. Ordered up a fire proof bag from Amazon and it now resides in that inside the safe.

I keep a years worth of bare expenses on hand. It’s hidden on property not in the safe or in the house that could burn down. Well hidden and not disturbed. It’s there if I need it and my son knows where if I were dead or otherwise incapacitated. I keep another ten grand in a safe for use.
I always pull money from my accounts if they total over five grand. Either invest it or put it in the safe. If they seize my accounts they’re not going to break me.

Oops, I forgot. In ten years or less all transactions will be electronic, so make sure you spend that money before it is no good to you. As you say "use it or loose it".

if the banking system crashes and people cant get access to cash or do electronic transactions, every grocery store in America is gonna look like an Antifa protest in about 3 days

A while back, a whole sale car dealer was traveling from a Southern state to a car auction in Buffalo, NY. Cop stopped him for speeding and searched his car, seized $30,000 he had in cash. He struggled to get his money back for a year, and they kept it.

What law allows the cops to do this, and would this also apply to your home? Not that I have $30,000 in my home...I wish!

In the TV series, Bret Maverick kept a $1000 bill pinned to the inside of his coat for emergencies.


When my wife wanted raw fish Japanese food from a restaurant that took cash only.... I had to carry cash....$50 bill would pay for two and a tip.

The restaurant owner was driving a Ferrari, and I assumed he was cheating on his taxes.

But now they take no cash, only credit, because they got robbed.

I think I still have the same $5 dollar bill in my wallet that the Command Sergeant Major would ask to see in case one of your soldiers needed a haircut. blush
