Quote History Quoted:Well, based on the last few months of stupidity at ALL levels, I have been "converting" cash on hand to durable goods rather rapidly, because I feel that this is where we may end up shortly...

Back when Obama was running the show and some of us were having hardships i quit wasting my money on junk, cut a lot of bills down, got rid of the cable (aint nothing worth a damn on it anyway), keep my cars maintained and in running shape and dont spend extras on it for crap i dont need. I dont buy electronic gadgets like i used to either, they cost to much to be outdated to fast or they dont have a long life. I also realized that all the junk dont bring happiness like most people may think, its just useless crap that takes up perfectly good living space.
I am still that way today. if i buy something anymore it had better be a good investment, something that i will have for years or if things go bad it will be useful. Most things i have been buying over the years are tools (power and hand tools, not the cheap stuff), supplies for home/vehicle maintenance, guns and ammo of course, some survival/camping/mil-surplus goods, and emergency foods that have a 20 to 30 year shelf life.
When covid hit and everybody was panicking because they did not have supplies to hold out through the lockdowns that were to come (the great TP Apocalypse), most of who knows me noticed i didnt panic and wondered why
