And eventually the money can be used as toilet paper!
See?
It all works out.

In the Canadian wilderness, we used those big maple leaves.
Venezuela...Hope they have only Pine trees.

They can all become muslims and just use their hand.

If I don’t have enough toilet paper, I’m poor. - I’ve used
corncobs for toilet paper in my life; but I prefer
Charmin.

They can use their fingers just like Muslims do. You know that august group of scientists, academicians, benevolent rulers and citizenry who have richly contributed to this world’s collective advancement? Obama said so.

The REAL white gold. TP.
I keep cases and cases of it in my preps. It is also great for barter. Paper towels too. They will be indispensable after...you know.

But you have to keep the cobs in a bucket of water, as I recall from my boyhood days. Otherwise they get mighty scratchy. :0)

The Venezuelan government just sent off 1.3 billion in gold to pay their debt.
That coulda bought lots of toilet paper.

Not to mention the empty supermarket shelves and the lack of medical care. Welcome to Bernie’s world.

The movie “Reds” was on last night; it was nice to watch the scales falling from the American communists’ eyes when they watched the young USSR deteriorate into mass murder.

There is a remedy for those suffering from this malady. They just need to get a dose of reality.

In the winter time? Which ones? The old dried up leaves on
the forest floor? I’d take the TP along anyway and just tell
your fellow canucks to go spoon a goose when they accuse you
of being too American./s
