  • Not crypto, not gold. All of these have an implied or perceived value. This will last until people realize that the value is an agreement between them and others. Depending on how things are going there will only be some things that retain real value beyond prestige. Commodities. Raw resources will retain value forever or until spoilage. However refined there will be a value chain. Veblen goods are not practical, and as a result, will not hold up as a currency in any scenario where survival is the main priority.

    Sorry guys, but it seems like you are arguing semantics when you really agree on the root problems… you might disagree on what the solutions might be but I think this is not a good time for infighting over what amounts to very little. Any solutions and/or ways to go about rising up to to meet the challenges ahead are good and welcome. We need to come together over our shared struggle and fight in whatever ways we are able.













  • I think that there might be an argument that driving stress would correlate with the necessity of driving. That is, places where it is more stressful to drive have a higher frequency of available public transportation, like in a city, while places that are more relaxing to drive in tend to require having a vehicle for transportation, like rural areas.

    Also, there is definitely an element of PTSD that can come with being in a car accident. It can make you jumpy when riding in cars with others or driving. I have heard that many race car drivers end up quitting the sport after a bad accident. No idea how true that is but if you start driving again the jumpiness will eventually turn into a higher level of alertness which can be a good thing when operating a motor vehicle.
