Gold is useless...
It has no properties that will create a demand in a time of need.
If we collapse I'm on my feet - I don't want that heavy shit in my pockets - I'm looking for resources and gold isn't one of them, unless you got a gold cup. I'll take that until I can find something made out of aluminum.
Son - OPEC does not take aluminum cups in exchange for oil.
Fertilizer companies do not take aluminum cups in exchange for Potash, Nitrogen & Phosphate.
The 7 most crutial elements to keep the current size global population alive are:
1. - Clean Air
2. - Clean Water
3. - Potash
4. - Phosphate
5. - Nitrogen
6. - Oil
7. - Arable Land
All of those items can be purchased with Gold, but not with aluminum cups. The starving people of the world will not lay down & die in peace. Critical items will be traded for Gold or fought for with Blood.
Aluminum cups
Do you believe there will be an honest exchange of goods if there was a crisis?
Motherfuckers will just take your shit....
The only people who would care in a time of crisis is conservatives..
Progressives would use it as an excuse for "free shit" and they would raid department stores.
Yeah, I saw Katrina and its aftermath..
Gold saved those immoral barbaric souls no?
Just drive a poison truck load of food by their base & let them take it. After a couple of days just walk in & take their Guns, Ammo & any thing else you want.
