I believe the ratio in Maine is 5/1 Guns to people.

Owning Yuan isn't necessarily a good choice, you're much better off with commodities which can be traded or sold later. You are locking your wealth into something which may be completely worthless, even if the chinese were to invade.

If you are a prepper, wouldn't it make more sense to have a generalized stock of assets? Seeing as no single-scenario that preppers come up with is guaranteed to happen.

Yuan might not be the best prepper idea, but it's artificially held down, so it could be a good investment haha.

Edit: And yeah 5/1 seems pretty reasonable.

noeconomics/10
For my scenario it is the best prepper idea, Chinese will become #1 economy, when they do they will seek to make their currency the global standard(like the US did when we were selling people everything during the industrial revolution). When this happens the yuan will go up in value, all major economists know China will be on top soon, but the media is owned by big corporations that need you to believe the US will stay on top for a while.

it took you a year to collect like a full day's worth of food?

it looks like he spent money on materialistic object first rather than food, which probably wasnt cheap.

I do, but the only way China will take any of the US is through debt collection/economic warefare, and that won't happen. Gun laws can only change what we do moving forward, it won't change the fact we have nearly 1 gun per person in the country, most likely many more illegal ones as well.

For some reason....i think the numbers are higher. I know a lot of people with multiple guns. Lots of 3+ guns and some with dozens of hunting rifles.

I used to live in Colorado and a lot of us own guns here.

What's scary is the amount of ammunition we have in the general population lmao.

When i visited alaska for summer.....i remember seeing at least 2-3 guns inside every door. lol.

They just have it laying around. They don't even give a fuck about kids. It's so common up there that kids are trained to use it. Probably for protection from wild animals lol
