And gold and silver as money.
Texas has now recaptured its gold bullion inside Texas. And have a plan where payments can be made by gold. (Your gold you store at the repository.)
Remember that FDR actually made it a crime to possess gold.
But is not a crime to possess a chain saw, ammo, guns (yet), cows, pigs, a few cured hams, a pickup full of potatoes, a few chickens, some eggs, etc.
An awkward way to pay for things, but it would last long enough probably to wreck the “master plan.”
The best barter is your labor. Want your plumbing fixed or your roof fixed....Be ready to part with something that can be eaten, worn, driven or whatever.
It would take us back to the 1600’s in living standard, but that is what they have been trying to do with the stupid ideas that wind power, solar panels, bears are more valuable than your life.
Sounds nutty, but that is what it is.
