Too late MaryN. Check out some of the news threads on here. There are quite a few about how bad the homeless situation is in the US. Having said that, the UK is MUCH better at hiding such things in the media.
I'm sure many of the older-timers on here will remember a thread with a video where the people were living in the woods, but loads were suffering from respiratory diseases caused by the black fungus/mold growing on their pillows!
The fact of the matter is, the US and UK are going to be a copy of South Africa, with the rich and poor divide, instead of the black-white divide. I read that if you want to see the future of the US, look at South Africa, but change colour for money. It's happening, and as much as we all want it to not be so, that's just the way things are going.
Oh, and for everyone that said I don't know my stuff, a couple of years ago (and back in 2007, but I wasn't into prepping when I was sat with dad every weekend in a coffee shop discussing this depression, and other things), wasn't I harping on about how we're in a depression? Saying it was obviously a depression, but we're not labelling it as so? Some agreed (NR, BP, SD, among others), yet others just said it was a double dip recession and I was being negative. Hate to say it, but...ITYS (I told you so).
So, about precious metals......haha.
