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.
I grew up on a farm. We still own them.
I married and moved away for 25 years. I did other things but it was still here when we came back in 1995.
My family has owned some of it since 1889.
Sure it can be done, lets hope it is not necessary.
The sky is not falling yet. If it does, we will adapt.
We are remodeling the house at the farm (4 mi. away), intend to move back there, where all the equipment, shops and barns are.
FDR, another failed phony tin dim demigod.
