But I don't like storing the damn stuff. It's not a safe investment. It's value is determined by fiat. Same goes for stocks, bonds and all the paper crap. I put my money in practical stuff that has intrinsic value, tools, vehicles, parts, weapons, ammo, food, books, electronics, stuff I can use. I also collect memories, though I'm gonna start to run outa places to store 'em before too long. The precious metal enthusiasts are part right. They're just wrong about which metals. I like worked steel. It never depreciates. Mix it with a little elbow grease and it gives off money, favors and trade goods. Lately, I've gotten interested in silicon. Silicon and gallium arsenide are starting to make gold and silver look sorta old fashioned, these days. But of all these, none are worth more than knowledge. Worth even more than that, is understanding. I oppose corporations, but not commerce. Sharing is better but commerce will do, as long as it's fair, and nobody is being exploited, especially me. Technically, also I'm a small business of sorts. I manufacture and sell essays. I also give away samples. It's great being my own boss. It's not so great being my own employee. Let's discuss ways y'all can help me finance my plush retirement villa on the scenic shores of beautiful Lake Steadman.
