Hey Jato! what did I tell you?JohnDenver wrote:Personally, I think hoarders are the scum of the earth.
If a hard energy crunch hits, we'll all have to move to a wartime footing, and the sacrifices will have to be shared. We will all have to work together in the national interest, and hoarders will need to be socially and criminally sanctioned.

According to your own logic, it would make you a scoundrel. Your words from the "Peak Oil Groupie Gear" thread:
"No doubt, that's what business is all about, but it all makes me doubt Matt's sincerity. I suppose there is no situation that comes along where some scoundrel will not make a profit from it."
If charging money for my book (or anything else I sell) so I can buy food, take permaculture classes, etc. . . makes me a scoundrel, how can you consider yourself prudent when you charge money for whatever it is you do for a living so you can buy food?

Who's the real scoundrel?

Hell I must be the hoarder of all horders. I have in my basement 1700 ounces of gold in bars + 100 krugerrand 1 ounce/coins, 25000 ounces of silver and I am expecting delivery 500 ounces of palladium later this month and have 225 hectares mainly forest.

If you want to rely on the Gov't then go for it, but you seem to be keeping rather odd company.

Funny Jack. Actually now that I know about the hard times ahead I guess I'd have to agree. Raising kids has been the finest thing in my life, though.Jack wrote:PenultimateManStanding wrote:Someone said if you wish to seem wise don't say anything.

There appears to be a typo in your statement. Surely you meant to say: NOT having children is the best and wisest choice any human ever made.

I guess I just don't get it.
Add that up and you are a member of the "super rich." Half the people on this board want to steal everything you have and give it to the
poor. They want to spread the misery around.
God bless you! If I were in your position, I'd be doing the same thing. One note on the palladium, I don't think most people understand how valuable that stuff is. You might not be able to sell it Post Peak. Gold and silver have value. Everyone knows that. But I don't think people will trade a loaf of bread for palladium.
I think you're mad, mate. People should be encouraged to stash stuff away now, not accused of being hoarders and pilloried. Think about it: Every ration pack I squirrel away, every tin of food I store is one less meal that the Gov't has to provide me when it all falls down. It's taking the burden off of the system that'll be providing for you if it sees fit.

How about women? Will they have to be your sex slaves?
