We seen what happens when a currency collapses, gold and other forms of goods become currency. Those who had none did 2 things, either went out and started panning for gold or they became mobs who took by force. People think Americans are more civilized so we wouldn't become violent, let them say that when they're watching their families not eat for 3-5 days straight. Even will facts staring them in the face any talk or discussion on being prepared will be laughed and the person will be called a nutjob.
