We may have to start a new sub-forum, "Things are Money". We may be entering an era where panic sets in and people start hoarding things of value. People and manufacturing start stocking up on everything that they need to survive, things where prices are quickly rising. The world is inflating their currencies by 10's of trillions, causing too much money chasing too few goods. On top of this chasm, China is being hit with massive historic floods and a crashing economy, that may disrupt manufacturing of many goods we depend on.

I'll start the list. Add your ideas here of what people may go after first.

homes (that's already happening)
ammo
freeze dried foods
storable foods/dry goods
silver and gold
toilet paper (Ponce is smiling from the after life)
building materials
necessities
aspirin

Fungibility. At the end of the day the book should balance.

Things are money, eh ? Does that have anything to do with bartering and horsetrading experiencing a return in popularity ?

Nice rise in the price of silver today. About time....its all about time.

Also seems that China's leader is getting a bit of cosmic retribution. Ruling the world ? Apparently God doesn't think so; Another prayer answered.

Long time agnut! Good to see you around. We were wondering how the bartering and horsetrading was going.
