If the financial system collapses, your cash will be worthless too. Bullets and toilet paper are king.

The old “we must destroy ourselves to save ourselves” metric of success. It’s been tried many times throughout history. All without success.

Yepp.

I want to have a steady supply of bullets, guns, canned food, and pre collapse cigarettes. All will be worth their weight in gold in a scenario like that.

I could see a society like the Metro books developing around bullets. Pre collapse high quality bullets used as currency. Post collapse low grade replicas being used for the shooting.

It’s not about crashing…it’s about tyrannical thugs going in and freezing/steeling or confiscation your money because you donated to truckers cause.

That’s what little dictator of the north is advocating. Putin is less feared.

Agreed, freezing bank accounts without due process is tyrannical.

That’s why we should never trust the government. The fact that they even suggest that only add to that mistrust. And you can’t trust our government promising you either…look no farther then DHS…and how they lied.

Well I never thought I would agree with toilet paper as a currency but after seeing the great retarded toilet paper rush during the pandemic clearing out groceries stores while SUV’s were out front of the store selling it for double the price I can’t deny it.

I actually don’t want any of this to happen, I hope cooler heads prevail, but if someone threatened to take everything I own I would remove every cent. Take a man’s life saving over a parking violation? They aren’t the Taliban!

Canned food is only a countdown to starvation. Chickens and pigs ate the filth off the streets of arabia and rome and gave edible meat and eggs in return. Sustainability is key, the Alamo is death.

If you remember back to 2008, a 600 Billion+ single day run on money market mutual fund deposits almost collapsed our system. This is much more insidious, like what happened in Cyprus. There, the government re-capitalized the banks by reducing the value of individual’s deposits. I am pretty sure that the Canadian Central Bank has liquidity rules in place that dictate when a bank must be seized by the regulator…

Just looked at the Capital Requirements for Canadian Banks and their proposed new requirements. It seems that a Bank in Canada currently needs to have at least 65% liquidity of assets, with that amount set to rise to 72.5% percent by 2026. In other words, the Canadian Regulator is planning to tighten capital available for lending. A run on the banks could push these institutions below the liquidity requirement. Making funds unavailable for withdraws will only lead to loan defaults, possibly triggering a death spiral among assets of the bank, further damaging liquidity levels.
