There are places you can take gold and get at or near the spot price. It is a decent hedge against inflation and against any one fiat currency tanking. It is also more compact than stacks of cash or explaining why you are depositing stacks of Qatari Riyal.
How useful it will be during true societal collapse is debatable, but gold was valuable even before we had the concept of currency, much less money.
Anyway, we really need to get rid of this guy. It USED to be back in the day, pressure from the party to resign was enough. If he refused to go, then expel him like Santos, whose crimes he’s accused of really pale in compared to this guy.
