Obama to Trump: you'll never get 3% growth. We got 3.9% now!

Lost baby bird, sure. I will cry a river. But the biggest economic crash in human history? Not so much.

Just stock up on gold and silver you will be good

It really doesn't bother me. They say we are doing very well economically, but it is bollocks. Interest rates are so low because nobody can afford the debt they are in. Same out here and it means you cannot even get a decent return at the bank with the money you hard earn. Let it fall down and let the greedy and beyond their means drown. They did it to themselves. If you have a mortgage you cannot afford that is on you and I urge the interest rates up to 5%. Until then do not tell me there is a recovery. A bunch of people working in retail at minimum wage proves nothing at all.

With all due respect we cannot carry gold and silver through the woods and Over The Hills and Dales and across the rivers while we are looking for acorns and wild scallions and freshwater to eat/drink. How are we going to spend the gold and silver and why would anybody honor its value? All we will need at that point is a big stick and to be in great cardiovascular shape so that we can run 10 to 20 miles a day to escape from predators and attackers and to search for food. If you know how to build a fire and swing a 50 pound club for 3 hours straight without getting tired then you will succeed. All the Gold and the silver nuggets in the world are not going to save your ass out in the wilderness when society and civilization breaks down back into the Stone Age Again.

I can trade my silver and gold for guns and ammunition and a harem of women or transgender. Gold has been used for currency in every civilation throughout . You only need a few ounces so it’s easy to carry it and still outrun the zombies

I have to say that walrus has kind of schooled beans and everybody else in this thread
