My legit Killtrocity

Camping like a 'mouth breather'
If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

186 countries are in some sort of debt, 179 countries being $100,000,000+ in debt, no escape

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

Debt was far worse after WW2, and we were all doing OK until relatively recently. "No escape" seems rather far-fetched.

Well there's only 3 countries that are technically debt free. The rest are newer countries that are NA for the time being. I just mean that cause I don't see a way many countries could ever be debt free.

We should just print some more money

15 trillion dollars in debt?

print 20 trillion dollars.

instant 5 trillion profit.

worried about inflation?

make the 20 trillion dollars a secret. Nobody will know the difference between the "new money" and all of the other money.

debt = paid

Sounds like I should invest in more Silver/gold.

That would be silly.

I don't fathom how people can rampage against fiat currency being worthless, then turn around and buy metals (especially gold, less so silver) that have little to no industrial/commercial value other than being shiny.

You're moving your money from one faith-based currency to another. Why, in a economic collapse scenario, would people turn to gold? If you're that paranoid, buy things that would have value. Firearms, gas, whatever. Don't be silly and buy a precious metal.
Buy platinum.

Actually, if you're worried about not having money when the world collapses into anarchy, the best thing to stock up on would be cigarettes.

Why do you think WWII POWs used them as money?

Lol. Even China has abandoned much of the economic side of communism. Got them from -blam!-hole to second largest economy in about 40 years.

Are you basing your claim of the false-communist USSR comrade?

Not worth the attempt. Trying to alter the mindviews of the socialistic mind view is like pulling teeth. There is no understanding of human nature and unintended consequences that inevitably follow socialistic policy.
