Wait a second, what is wrong with buying guns and precious metals? Ammo is a great new currency. You got .22's like pennies then you got some 380s, then 9s, go to the 40s and 45s, up to the 223 and 556s. It all scales so well. The guns help me secure my own future without having to rely upon someone else to 'save' me. Sorry. The people in the military have families too, as do cops and such. I don't expect anyone to risk their lives to save my life. Hell, if i got my self into the mess, i should be able to get my self outta it. If not, my own damn fault.
McCarthy, pot, the internment of people of Asian decent after the pearl harbor bombings(hahaha surprised this didn't happen after 9/11 although i think we were at that threshold), manifest destiny.. anyone who thinks that the government keeps the best interest of the masses in mind is fooling them self. It just makes logical sense that the "world" is run on the whim of a few individuals. We are all working towards some end goal, right? No one appears to know what, yet we keep grinding away. Time travel, eternal life, enough food for everyone, what is the end game? Who fucking knows, don't worry, just keep doing what you all are doing, since it makes you all so happy, riiiight?
The bigger question is, does it even matter. What the fuck are we to do with that pile of cash anyway? You can't eat it, i suppose you could make clothing from it since it is partially linen, makeshift shelter maybe? Burn it for heat? It only means so much to everyone because everyone is sacrificing their time to get it, it better be worth what we are all giving up. Our freedom to live life, pretty priceless imo, which would explain why people value money so much. It is all they have to show for their time. HAHA let's keep it up though, great work! Humanity gets the gold star sticker this week.
You don't need a huge federally regulated system to establish trust. A small community is fine. You screw the community, you get exiled. Easier to keeps tabs on everything the smaller it is anyway. Really i long for an age that has come and gone. I just can't buy into this bullshit society where everyone feeds each others egos. Life is a static constant. It takes place and continues with or without us around. Certainly don't wanna leave life in a shittier position than it was found in, wouldn't be right for the next guy who has to live it. It doesn't matter if we do fantastic things or not with our lives, just as long as we don't make things worse.
I like the way you think!!
*buy ammo stocks, no shortage of war! lol
