The US Government is in Debt for 15 trillion. But they still can waste $5 million on a %^&*(*&^ Hip Hop Museum. If NYC wants a museum, LET THE NYC Taxpayers Pay for it.

DC. It's beyond hope.
NIFO.
Cheaper than a hip hop museum.

Then he calmly added something like, "Uh, huh. That's right." Me dino was horrified back then.
Now I have a for being used to it "business as usual is still stupid is as stupid does" calmer attitude.
Nevertheless, so why am I now thinking of traitors who need to be lined up and shot?
Yes, without principles anything goes.
The People must impose those principles upon government and corrupt business in order to restore liberty and rational financial justice.
that does not include the 100 to 200 trillion in unfunded pensions
this cannot continue, the house of cards will fall, worldwide at some point soon
If we don't do something, the Deep State will bring America to ruin.
NIFO
lead
food
water
guns
ammo
thank you for adding
i am already planning for next winter
an indoor propane heater, 2 of them
i am trading 20 pound propane tanks to 40 pound ones as i can, i can run the heaters for a month right now
120 watt solar panels, i plan to have 12, this will allow an average of 500 watts (angle of the sun, night, clouds)
base camp tent with a wood stove
small generator wrapped in Faraday cloth, enough fuel to allow the generator to recharge the Deep Cycle Marine batteries
9 Deep Cycle batteries, more as i can
To Quote Clif High... The problem with $600/oz silver... Is that most people won't want to live in that world! They don't have the skills for it.
I used to think: 10-20% of your assets in Gold/Silver as a hedge. Now I think.. 10% in cash/bank as a hedge. Everything else in assets.
Keep in mind that the Primary Skill... Is acquiring skills! I think in those terms.
Tools, can be made. Raw materials are hard to convert to useful things. But knowing how to do some piping, strip a tree to make wood. Make a kiln, to fire bricks.
If you get a big enough community, you could get some specialization. But food is the difficult part. We are so far removed from feeding ourselves.
The carnage will be high.
I suggest checking out the local Amish and other such groups!
No need in letting all that meat go to waste!
But I imagine it will look a lot like the Book of Eli!
What assets
1) don't have ridiculous carrying and maintenance costs and
2) don't support our enemies and
3) don't have high probability of being destroyed by corrupt bankster/government power and
4) are concealable and portable (for reasons that should be obvious)?
Cash/bank deposit has the considerable disadvantage of being reduced by severe inflation
that is likely to result from the impending end of the petro-dollar, imo.
Our enemies have corrupted everything.
Lets start by saying I don't trust Stocks, Bonds, or Wallstreet any more than I trust the Banksters.
So, you are stuck with
1) Property (real estate). But even having a clear title can't stop these criminals.
[And property taxes will sky-rocket]. So I prefer more Rural Land.
But that is a "hedge" unless it brings in income, or can in the future (harvesting trees, refuge)
2) Guns, Ammo (The 2nd Amendment Precious Metals)
3) Gold and Silver (Physical)
4) Crypto (again, as a hedge). Stick with BTC and ETH for me. In your own wallets.
5) Knowledge in the form of PDF, Books, etc. (Can you MAKE paint/glue? Carbon? Bleach?)
6) Tools, Machines. (Something as simple as a hole punch for leather goods)
7) Some level of Solar to power at least the machines and recharge batteries
8) Friends, Community
9) A Healthy Mind and Clean/Healthy Body!
Those are the Assets.
Anything that would have supported a distant relative in the 1840s, IMHO.
I recommend projecting yourself into various possible futures.
And planning accordingly.
At this point. RETURN OF Capital supersedes return ON CAPITAL.
10) Alternate communication method with family and friends
11) Potable water source
12) Do you know how to cap off the main drain before the toilet backs up when the town pumps fail? Especially basement?
13) How to address sanitary needs with no indoor toilet?
Etc.
I just got my Ham radio license, and a couple of handhelds that give us miles of communication.
Water. OMG, 3+ Years of Berkey Filters, a full setup, and 3 sets of ceramic only filters, and the buckets to make it work.
One thing I am lacking... the DOLLY/Wagon to go to the nearby water sources. I keep forgetting. But you don't want to be carrying near 40lbs in each arm. (5 gallons).
Extra buckets, and garbage bags.
A Shovel.
The upside is that once you start fasting. Your #2 volume drops significantly... LOL
Thanks for the adds!
FWIW, I don't think you can have too many Garbage bags.
And I have a full Face Mask/Gas Mask with various carbon filters.
