Precious metals when the SHTF

[Great-Kazoo]

If SHTF, precious metals will be steel, lead, copper and brass. You want something you can really barter? Store good quality alcohol and pharmaceuticals, especially pain relievers and cold/flu medicines. People can get by without gold or silver but they'll sell you their children for some good whiskey when none is available or for Tylenol/ibuprofen when they have a splitting headache.

For those of us who have no plan to barter, screw them.

Basic example: decided to go shopping this morning. HEY I HAD a munchie for Chorizo. Juevos , chili verde and other item swere already on hand. NEEDED THAT CHORIZO. SO in to a packed grocery store, running the obstacle course of any and everyone who OMG no food or water STOCK UP late to the party folks. Or as we label them SHEEP / VICTIMS. Loaded carts of food, water, water, water. .
Me, chorizo in hand, in and out 10 min tops. 7 of them spent standing in the self check out line.

Back on Topic. reason i mentioned the store trip. Fuck the, WE NEED SUPPLIES NOW, WHEN THE SHELVES ARE EMPTY?? YOU NEVER WAIT TILL YOU RUN OUT OF GAS TO FILL UP, NEVER.
cept for when i forgot i had the petcock on reserve

Jim, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and put your avatar back on. See... All is right with the world when I read your words of wisdom, glance over and see a bad ass with a mustache standing next to a motorcycle... It's a lot like a father figure.
... But without the avatar I read... And then just feel fear ..that your out there somewhere, waiting to kill all of us with our own femurs... I'm just sayin. (Please don't kill me)

I'll use the fibia and tibia. Femurs are over rated and heavy, once the swinging starts. Now where can i get a good haircut.

In reality the number of people i saw this morning with shopping cartS, was pathetic. I'd wager an easy 80%, easy have no back up power if the power went off ,to keep the shit they grabbed from spoiling.

I don't use self check out lines, I prefer to help people keep jobs. I was told that by a grocery cashier years ago and it made a lot of sense. Glad you got the chorizo though.

When the regular lines are 1/2 way back to the dairy area, i'm taking the path of least resistance.
Since i'm a fairly congenial guy, i figured why ruin it dealing with some tree hugging, obama voting, dipshit, who has their "husband" running back and forth, for "ONE MORE THING HONEY".
You're in line, you are in line, not standing there, while some limp dick, pansy ass spouse jumps at the crack of her massengil bottle.

But in the name of jobs, i'll keep your support for them in mind.
