Has anyone noticed that there are no new infections in China. And that although the number of new cases in many other countries is increasing the rate of increase is slowing. Google michael levitt, a stanford nobel laureate and see what he has to say. I work at an investment fund with some highly intelligent people. We are buying distressed assets - bonds and equities - like crazy. Can the market go even lower? Absolutely. Will we have a recession? Absolutely. Will tens of thousands more people die? Yes. But this is not the end of the world. The mortality rate will be far lower than the 1918 flu pandemic. Society will survive and the economy will rebound in the coming year or years. Stop panickng for God’s sake.

If they are graded you have a few options but if its just bullion a pawn shop is the easiest. I have both.

Kiss that fiat paper money goodbye, it will be useless. I invested in gold and silver years ago. Cull the masses, Just nature taking care of business. Historics times for sure.

The financial coup d'etat is being conducted in a much more creative fashion this time than the ham-fisted one in '08.

rotf I stockpile many different denominations. 45 acp, 357/38, 9mm, 380 acp and 22 LR. Plus half pints, pints, liters and 1.75 liter. A big fan of the barter system here.
Or you might just be a fan of basic survival.
If things go sideways it's always the death dealers at the top of the food chain.
Some will be government endorsed, some not.

It never fails, people get on a very public board and brag about their armory. Why? I ask knowing government bots patrol the "net" looking for any of thousands of key words or numbers. I would think the fewer people who know about your weapons stash the better.

Explain how talking about weapons you own legally is a problem? If you own weapons legally, you had to register the weapon when you purchased it. That means every government agency in the country can easily know you own the weapons.

I do agree, if you own a bunch of illegally acquired weapons, you would be more than a moron to be bragging about it on the internet.

rotf Well, I know for me, before stroking out, my employment required weapons licensing from the DPS. In Boulder, Montana I was elected mayor long ago which also placed me as the de facto police commissioner. It may just be my personal paranoia, but I think I went "on the radar" a while back. :col:

I don't think people have any idea how many infected people there are. I believe once everyone gets tested. I think the numbers will shock the government. Our economy is going to take years to get back to some kind of normal. Our medical situation is so far behind the curve that tons of people are going to die who didn't need to.

The entire world's economies are going to turn to shit and people are going to look to us for help and there will be none coming.
I am 62 and have seen some nasty shit over the years but this makes them all pale in comparison. People who are not qua ranting themselves are being stupid and putting the rest of us at risk.

When I saw the crowds at Clear Water beach the other day I knew we have a generation of stupid fucks who are going to spread this even worse.. I worry about what kind of world will be left as I have 4 kids ranging in ages of 17-30.

None of the world is ready for what is coming and if you are not thinking this is the worst thing you have ever seen, take your heads out of the sand.

Could be worse....
