"Die Soon, Farmer Joe, Please Die Soon"

Cotton, its easy to say, we are going to hit the
wall. Oh, omnipotent power, what do you mean,
EXACTLY? Just testing!

cottonpicken: Aren't you the hopeful little fellow predicting ruin for everyone. Civilizations have come and gone and some have carried on without a miss-beat. Like the proverbial grasshopper who sang and danced all summer while the ant worked his ass off we will get the reward we deserve. Money doesn't grow on trees but anyone with a plot of land will survive so quit worrying so much and grow yourself a nice garden and live on vegetables and roadkill.

Lol,you guys read between the lines to much and
form thoughts and opinions that are not there,i do it
to reading blogs,its a common fault of most.

I truly believe the farmer will come out on top,i'm not
talking end of the world stuff just a huge shift in
wealth distribution.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong and you guys can rub my nose
in it,in a few years.

But mark these words-the savers,pensioners and
fixed income earners will be wiped out-financially.

Thats what this train wreck will look like.

The sunny day crowd will just be another corpse in
darwins grave yard of the stupid and weak.

Re Video: I've seen more social structure in a pride of lions at a feeding frenzy at a fresh kill. Could you imagine if it was food.
You can thank retail for this insanity. I would rather pay a bit more than participate in this crap.

You know cotton the gold hoarders could lose
everything. Did you live through 1980? Have you
ever heard of confiscation?

Hate to burst your bubble but the chance of the
government sinking without either taxing the snot
out of all of us is slim to none. You may be right
or I may be right. After the depression Cash,
good ol cold cash may be king. We dont know for
sure what will happen.

I could give you hundreds and hundreds of examples
through out history where paper burned and those
holding gold lost nothing.

When countries sail into zones of insolvency their
currencies crash,purchasing power is lost.

cottonpicken: Most people who own gold do not have the PHYSICAL gold in their possession so its hard to trade that gold for rent or groceries. A bag of wheat or a quarter of beef or a ham or a bag of apples would do more good as an article of trade.

In times of hyper-inflation a good-sized wheelbarrow might come in handy as well to carry the paper money to buy a hamburger or fill your gas tank. So trade your gold for wheelbarrows and away you go...instant success.

You would trade all your bling for a match and a bale of paper to keep your stranded ass warm if caught out on the frozen prairie. Test that theory, please.

I just thought that might fit in with the "topic message". (lol)

Means to produce something others need, is a
currency all it self. I believe most on this forum have
that one licked.
