Preparing for the melt down. Great thread Choker. With what's happening around the world the future could be very hard. Money in anything that has an inflated or superficial value could be hit, you can't eat gold or silver. Silver is used a lot in manufacturing, as these markets get hit less value in silver.

Look at the 1930s for inspiration in what to buy.

Wrong.

It's the ability and will to use them.

A survey of WW2 soldiers who actually shot to kill discovered the % was very low, even when under attack. If all you middle class keyboard warriors thing you're more willing to kill someone than a pent up mob fueled by it's own momentum or someone whose so desperate to get something you have, then think again.

Modern soldiers have to go through very intensive training to be taught to kill. giving them a gun, ammo and teaching them to aim and pull the trigger at a paper target is something anyone can do. Killing someone is something very different.

Go back to playing soldiers on your computers.
