Short of an oncoming collapse of our entire economic system, e.g. the end of the world that many conspiracy theorists have been predicting for decades now as a way to sell bunker goods and taint wipes. smile.gif Short of that, I think we will be ok. Just avoid listening to Alex Jones and info wars and life starts looking a lot better smile.gif

Inflation is set to bite and bite fairly soon. We are at full employment. That is one of the historical drivers of inflation. Once we hit full employment getting new labor gets harder. Prices for labor increase. Inputs for everything else go up as well and Gold goes NUTS, I"d say gold will be at 2k within a year or so. Time will tell smile.gif

Yes, in a Mad Max 2 scenario only things like food, water, defense and petrol would have value. You'd only need fiat money for toilet paper. Never mind a Banana taped to the wall.

In the 'end times' scenario, if that banana is still ripe and paper money is worthless - maybe it will go for a few million.

I don't really believe in that kind off scenario .
How long could you survive , if there was a disruption in your food source right now . Most have maybe a week. This is more what i think will happen , a temporary malfunction of things we take for granted causing us a momentary lapse in our life style and when it does, Gold will be of no value .

that being said, no I don't like the way our government is spending and printing money , but that is a conversation for another Website

A couple weeks ago I went to the local Ford dealership to pick up a part for my truck that I had ordered. They couldn't sell it to me because their internet was down and one of the guys at the parts dept said that they couldn't even clock in for work and joked that they were working for free. I was blown away that they couldn't do business simply because of a lack of an internet connection. I told them to call me when they could sell it to me. 2 days later they called. Unbelievable! And after blaming their service provider initially, it turns out that it wasn't even the service providers fault and it was a problem with the dealerships own network, probably something as simple as rebooting a modem or router I would wager.

It's a brave new world eh smile.gif Some places the register won't even open unless the unit has a wifi or ethernet connection. We are living in a connected world. When that connection has an interuption, things get wonky quick.

Yes, we might get start of a reflation cycle. In the UK inflation figures include the prices of computer games but not house prices or rents. The money system is rigged.

Yes, if you have some bundles left after using it for fire wood, or toilet paper. In Wiemar republic 1923 it took 1 Trillion paper marks to buy one gold mark.

Me neither, it was your beef and grain scenario if those were the only kind of things with any value. It's fiat money that is the bankers trick, Gold is just a form of value that cannot be manipulated so easily by them.

I can think of many words to describe the "New World" in this case but "Brave" isn't one of them.

I understood the reference. Thanks. What I am getting at is, being so dependent on any one thing in order to function is not only foolish, it's dangerous and not in any way brave.

Ps: I don't believe that there are any critical services that are so reliant on an internet connection that they cease to function without it in the way the parts dept at the Ford dealership I visited does, at least I hope not. Still, the experience was a bit disturbing to me.
