I agree. Not going to worry about owning any precious metals to speak of.

Lead is a precious metal.

Gold/Silver buyers are preserving their wealth in metals.Govt can and has shown in the past they can either confiscate or reduce it in terms of value.It's just a store of wealth compared to a fiat currency,ie..funny money.Aside from that ,yes,their are other prioritys of survival.Ammo is better than gold when it blows.

Just my twisted view but you can't eat gold or silver. As a nation we haven't used metals for barter or trade in generations. Important things would be food, medicine, seeds bullets, salt ...
We've had a garden for several years. Freeze enough butter beans, tomatoes, and a few other things to use for the year. W/O power those are gone. 'Can' pickles and jellies but that's not enough to live on. Best that it doesn't happen.... ${$default_grin_smiley}$

We compost our organic garbage to use in the garden. It seems many things that you do for yourself are like Sqlbullet mentions...it cost more for materials than you can buy the product. Or, at least, close enough not to waste the time. Interesting that cheap imported goods have maintained our standard of living to some degree at the cost of our manufacturing base. If they are cut off or prices are raised substantially ? Share the wealth, indeed.

Only precious to a few of us. And I have a goodly stock. In fact, right now at a absolute low point, since I sold off anything I could replace rather than move it, I still have about 800 lbs.

And I expect by spring I will be back up to 3000 lbs. Where I should be. After all, that is only 105,000 200 grain bullets.

If you look at the history of this country we have turned away from the true and only God and decided to do things as we please. BOTH sides of the coin have decided they know better than the GOD that made us and blessed this country.
This is what you get when men/woman in government AND in society decide to do things as they please, It is not going to get better simply because everyone wants to do what they want instead of what is right. And there is only ONE definition of what is right , The word of GOD.

The Word of God warns us of the same and more.
