Yep that sounds about right to me. At least someone is still reporting uncensored news. If people don't believe there's at least a media conspiracy then there is truly no hope for them. The shit's hitting the fan and people better start buying euros and hope the whole world's financial system doesn't collapse. Gold won't mean much either in the grand scheme of things. He who has the most guns wins. :sadcrying

Hmmm... would a global financial collapse be the great equalizer of humanity? The people currently considered wealthy would be just a vulnerable as the people currently considered poor. They'd just have nicer stuff (and more of it) they'd have to defend and barter with. But if the standard of value changed (intrinsic vs. extrinsic) who's going to need or want jewelry and yachts and designer stuff? Just a thought.

I'm personally working to go back to the barter system and remove monetary exchange completely from my life. I know it will be difficult but the only things I can't figure out how to barter for is insurance coverage, health care, and cable/internet service (unless I barter for it with someone else who uses currency exchange to pay for it). I can always go off grid for my electric and phone access can be gained through the internet (once I figure out how to barter for that), although I hate the phone. Love web cams and online meetings though. Living in the right place can make bartering for food much easier but not prepared foods. Oh how I'll miss their chemically manipulated unnatural taste and texture. And then after a while, I won't.
Bartering for travel will be difficult as well, as hitchhiking is now illegal. I'm sure I'll find some way to get where I'm going. :jointsmile:

Other than that I can't think of anything else that can't be bartered for. Of course you'd have to find someone willing to barter with you. I suspect currently being the right place at the right time is all it would take. I believe the time is coming soon that the right places and times will be many. Good luck to us all in the years to come. Who knows what will happen next. :hippy:

Blessed be~
