Maybe America really is a stupid country full of absolute fools after all, kinda hard to say that.

I’ve accepted election but I just don’t get why people vote for higher taxes and energy costs, among other disastrous policies.
Do this and give us a reportin a couple years. Can't wait to see the results.

it just seems impractical to buy toilet paper at c.v.s. with a purse of gold flakes.

Not gold for how will you buy the small things in life such as a loaf of bread?

Some other precious metal that is more easily used for such things.

Copper can be used for very small denominations where it would be impractical to use gold or silver coins.

I was talking about a different person.

Just was making a point that anyone with any wealth I know are a little nervous.

No, not really. Most people I know outside of forums are mature and realize that the political system moves at the margins between the two parties, mainly at the center where they try to swing the vote. The people like you and others here are influenced too much by social media. There is a lot of short-hand for relaying opinions on social media that wouldn't cut muster in an intelligence conversation. I think some of it is engineered to manipulate people and play to their emotions.

You would be laughed out of the room for trying to impress people with money.

Must be where you live, nearly everyone I know is very confident the market will be doing much better with an actual functioning federal government again.

First of all, for the 4th time, this thread was partly made in jest as I clearly stated.

Second, for the 3rd time, I was not referring to myself.

Of course I know everyone’s money isn’t going to suddenly vanish. Over the next 30-50 years if the democratic/socialist agenda progresses? You bet.

Quite a hateful response, take an SSRI.

Oh and also, I “exist outside of forums.”
