THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Fife]

How you gonna hump a hundred thousand rounds of five-five-six? How long are you going to last drving around with a metric ton of ammo in the back of your pick-up? What, you think you can't be outflanked?

Damn that illiquidity!

Maybe protection-racket currency backed on a fractional reserve of .45ACP?

[Smitty-48]

Best bet is to be a Svengali-esque demagogic cult leader, WTSHTF, there be gold in dem hills.

The Smithson Family gonna roll up and take your ammo from yeas, Reb, ain't no thang.

Join us, or die.

Even if your investment strategy was somehow betting on a total market meltdown, gold is nothing to get excited about, even if you had bought gold at the end of the First World War, by the peak in the Great Depression, all you've made off of that is a 300% return in 10 years.

Even if you held it for 60 years and just happened to sell in 1980, you've still only made 1000% in more than half a century of holding it.

Nah, I'd never buy it to get rich. Just based on how hard it is to actually get, the value would be absolutely huge in a real collapse. Even a small amount might ensure my family's safety. Just another survival tool, imo.

I play poker and work to get rich - much more sensible than wanton corporation-gambling in a rigged game.

True, true dat, cousin. Be careful about who gets the password to the Casa de Smits.

Street's gonna take that gold off your pansy ass in two seconds flat, in a real collapse, there's safety in heavily armed numbers, but flashing your gold around trying to buy passage, just gonna get your family down in a ditch with AK-47's at the back of your heads.

You live in 'Murica, dood, strapped Niggahs be robbin' bitches up in here.

Hah, I'll be on the road to Canaderp if Shit Really Hits. Anything less than Mad Max, and I'll be hunkered down with some buddies of mine. I'm the food provider, others are responsible for security work. The gold would probably be used to bribe your border guards, if I need it.

You may be surprised what this 'pansy' is capable of, if needed. I like that you underestimate me though.

WTSHTF, the border will be manned by HM Royal Canadian Infantry Corps, we can't be bribed.

Crown of Canada is sitting on more gold than anybody, Sar-Major just gonna tell you keep your gold and turn right round where ya comes from, rapefugees.

Ducimus.

I'm sure they're all 100% loyal, and incorruptible, led by Lord Smitty of Her Majesty's Personal Guard and stuff. We'll find out, scooter.
