I’ve been buying gold cinderblocks, but only because they were out of sheetrock
hope for the best- prepare for the worst
Exactly. I live in a small town (relatively large for the area)with a full acre - one reason I have hung on to this place is I know what my parents did here during the Great Depression- we ate very well. Bought very little from the store. Same for WW2 when rationing was in force.
Not saying it is not possible, however, questions...
he mentions tent cities existing—I have never seen a tent city in the US...has anyone else.
Also, others asked what is is track record—it is noted what he predicted correctly; how is is his batting average inclluding errors?
They’re reasonably priced as well. I keep that link in “favorites”.
>>Same for WW2 when rationing was in force.
Yep. City folks need to learn two words: “Victory Garden”.
People like their homes, and aren't going to move away so easily. Most people have friends, family and attachments to where they live and aren't willing to pick up and move for ideological reasons. Many of those attachments cross party lines.
What you want is only a simple move away. I couldn’t understand a conservative staying in a “people’s republic” just because they like their house.
I live in DC, which is more or less a "people's republic." I like it here, and am not going to move out over politics. My friends and family run the gamut of political views and ideologies. Giving all of that up just to be surrounded by people who agree with me politically seems silly.
There absolutely are tent cities in the US. Seattle recently had quite an uproar over a bunch of folks living in pink tents. I’m not talking five or ten people, I’m talking two or three hundred, maybe more.
Buy gold in Nevada. No sales tax. Buy weapons there also. Get on the net to place a purchase for pick-up.

You can still see the remnants of one at Camp Pendleton. It’s the one that housed the boat people in the 70’s.
Most of our modern infrastructure was built after WWII - and with bridges the safe lifespan is some 50 years give or take... Add 50 to an average of 1955 and you’ll see we’re long overdue on bridge replacement. Our other infrastructure’s the same. Without the money to maintain it, it’ll go quickly.
everytime I go to Walmart I buy more quart canning jars
For those that already can and have jars, it would be good to stock up on jar flats. This fall a friend of mine still had alot of canning to do, and could not get flats. Anywhere where she lived.. It gave me a heads up and I started buying them each time I went to the store since I could get them here.
Anyone out there old enough to remember the jar rubber rings that were reusable??? That goes back into time.
I have never bought gold before (besides jewelry), but will let my friend know. Thanks.
When the BO guy finds out the treasury dumped their IOUs in his lap, he'll kick his dog, beat his wife, and slap the kids.
Hey just don’t cook it first!
