A family story: I have over 40 cousins, meet 3 of them

Barry, the successful Entrepreneur, with a lot of gold coins.
Jerry, long standing NRA member, hunter, survivalist.
Harry, social worker and gardener.

Barry watches the charts, the graphs, reads Agora, Stansberry, Ron Paul. He KNOWS the market will crash, we're going to free fall into chaos and anarchy, and believes gold is the answer because it has never NOT been worth something. He has a NORMALCY bias toward gold.

Barry has months of food and water in his basement just in case.

Jerry of the NRA laughs at Barry, he sez, "Cuz, when the shiet hits the fan, I'll take whatever I want cause I got the ammo and guns and know how to use them", which upsets and distresses Barry greatly.

Harry says he'll help out at the "camp", the FEMA shelter, or refugee camp as his cousins call it. When it comes, millions will be placed into internment camps, same as Japanese-Americans were rounded up after Pearl Harbor and placed into camps. These, unprepared Americans, with neither gold nor guns will be escorted to "safe" areas and put to work on farms.

If (in this future) you aren't like Jerry, Barry or Harry, you may be like Mary, a "wildling", living with a small group of people in the hills and mountains, best they can.

It is a Mad Max looking future, a possibility due to several factors...including a potential pandemic, a market crash, a nuclear accident or intentional use of nuclear weapons. A drought which effects the food supply, asteroid or Alien Invasion (the kind from outer space...'How to serve man' "It's a cookbook!"...inside joke).

OK, do you have thoughts on the future?

As for gold, when IT (the shyeet) goes down, my opinion: you can't eat gold. I think it is, perhaps, the biggest scam on investors ever perpetrated.

PS My late friend, The Boz, and I would target practice out at the ranch, shooting an occasional rattlesnake or skunk (which we quickly buried). He had a reloader and a nice small arms arsenal...which I laughed at, who's going to invade his desert paradise with the black widow spiders, the rattlesnakes, rabid coyotes with his shiny old pick up truck as the prize?
