Re: BRICS lol
You work. I assume you save and invest. Do you hold 1 oz krugerrands in your mattress?
​
If we're 5 years from currency apocalypse, I assume you don't keep soon-to-be worthless, fictional paper in banks or investment funds.
​
When I cruise right wing media (usually Sunday morning, when my small village's serene blend of sanctimony and hangover keep me calm), I see lots of gold: doomsayers saying it, show hosts hawking it, print ads for it sandwiched with survivalist gear.
​
Are you a gold bug, Phat? Is that where you place your faith?

Re: Gold Bugs and Political Thugs
Let me ask again: Do you save and invest in dollar-denominated funds and accounts?
​
As for the rest, I don't interrupt conversations to watch videos. You shouldn't, either -- it's rude.

If you are going to come in here claiming the sky is falling you will need something more than a children's book as your source. You have to bring a barometer.
