RE: Your Money is Well... Far Gone
Maybe I'm just sticking my head in the sand, but my theory is if the economy collapses we're all screwed anyways unless even if you keep all your money under your mattress or buried in the backyard.
I always tell my parents that whatever a company is telling you it's probably 2 or 3 times worse, because they are only reporting what they can prove without any doubt.
If there is a question of it actually happened or can use a word that doesn't sound as bad and get away with it when talking to the media they will.
It's not server experience, but when I was working for a plant in Texas we lost power to the entire plant and we made our own power and had 2 seperate feeds from 2 different power companies and lost all 3 at once. I won't go into the details, but sometimes things are overlooked because they are considered "impossible" until the failure actually happens.
Yes, 1 in a million chances happen all the time.
But, if your plant in Texas said, someone tripped over the power cord, you'd know that something was fishy. And that is what Wells FarGone has done.
Further, they started limiting withdrawls. And paychecks didn't get sent out. And...
Something definitely smells fishy.
Yes, you have your head in the sand, because when the economy collapses, your need for food in your belly doesn't go on hiatus.
And knowing a hurricane is coming gives you time to shutter up your windows.
So, if you have 3 months of food, and a secure place to hole up, then you are thousands of percent more likely to survive.
The thing about a financial collapse is that at the start, there is nothing threatening your life. And, people have always found some way to begin trading again, so, planning on how to get across that gap when food shipment stops to when food shipment starts again is highly prudent.
