State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Back in the 90s, I would listen to the talk radio and they would drone about gold prices and how it was the time to buy. Gold was about $500 per ounce. I though the ads were full of it, but now I am wishing I had bought some.
I did buy some silver over the years, mostly at about $18 per oz. It is somewhat tempting to sell at these prices, but then I ask myself, why would I trade a physical asset (in my possession, not paper IOUs) for Uncle Sugar’s fiat bucks?
Having lived long ago in the Age of Silver Money …..
1964 1 paper U.S. Dollar bought 5 gallon of gasoline.
1964 ten U.S. dimes made of 90% silver bought 5 gallon of gasoline.
2025 13 U.S. Dollars for 5 gallons of gasoline (dollars are not stable)
2025 ten U.S. DIMES made of 90% silver buys 12.72 gallons of gasoline (silver is stable)
Now over $47. Was upset when I cashed out a small silver IRA when it was $28 (because I didn’t trust the holder of the coins – there had been stories at the time). Paid 10% penalty to Uncle Scam too. Now they are in my hands along with others and couldn’t be happier. The 90% pre-1965 stuff will likely be the “walking around money” when the SHTF. Never regret one purchase.
