You just hope you are the first to go and hope it is painless and fast.

Of course, what we are observing now is the eternal war between the prosperous and the impecunious. Does anyone suppose that those who say that money and precious metal will be worthless have ever had any?

Thats the thing...under a total collapse, even gold may have little value. Alcohol and cigarettes do well under collapsed regimes.

It all depends on the level of collapse.

I plan to distill alcohol in the event of collapse that includes prohibitory regulations. I know how to do it from experimentation; I have access to sugar beet produsers in the area; I have yeast stored. In the event that my yeast is lost I can culture wild yeast. That won't produce just rotgut as I can distill at high proof. From a safety standpoint, I know what's dangerous about the head.

The retaliation would be massive. MAD....mutually assured destruction. Like when my dogs get in a farting contest. j/k
Read History of how many times a Nuke has been used in a war.

Yet, the Japanese have Toyota and Honda

You must be a very special kind of stupid. Everybody knows the history of Fat Man and Little Boy and the TVA etc, etc, etc.

Japan had no nukes at the time. Now they do.

What about a Caribbean island? You could drink mai tai's and listen to Don't Worry Be Happy. Ah those steel drums. Maybe we should buy a nice sailboat and live on the ocean for awhile. I love to fish anyway. MMMM fresh fish, mai tai's and Don't Worry Be Happy. Even better.

Since you do not understand the difference between testing and usage, I give up.
