I’ve got a friend at work, nice
lady. She and I were discussing buying silver once day and she said that
when TSHTF she’ll be a rich woman, and it wasn’t going to be silver
making her so. I asked politely what she stocked now that would be of
such value then and she said “shotgun shells”. She made a
convincing argument that they were the best and most portable means of wealth
should a breakdown in society happen. I can live without the chocolate, coffee
and probably even oranges. I will miss bananas and though I have a tea
plant I will miss that too (one plant will not suffice for my iced tea habit).
I do, however, live near an immense salt mine and its likely to be less
valuable around here than fruit fattened squirrel. I was more lamenting feeding wildlife to
such an extent that I see but a pittance of my labors among the fruit trees
more than anything else. Btw, Kevin, you sound like a libertarian
to me (high praise indeedJ) Zone 6b Michigan From:
nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Moore Scott, unless you live near a pristine coastline, you had better stash
a few tons of salt away. If society does indeed collapse in your lifetime, you
will not be able to get this precious and necessary substance, not to mention
black pepper, chocolate, coffee and depending on where you live, oranges,
bananas and tea, etc. What we really need is some sort of locally accepted
local currency that is not backed (or mismanaged) by the Federal government.
Coins minted of precious metals have always been accepted worldwide by every
culture until recently. So you might want to corner the market in silver too. |
