Why would I run away from a place with civil rights and go to someplace else without them.

I stand corrected, the sky IS falling!
Commodities like cases of canned beans, or spam for the expensive stuff?

All you need is a ski mask and untraceable pistol

Maybe youve never seen a prison. Ive been inside to pick up prisoners for trial and that was waaaay more than Id want to spend, especially as a cop

Strangely I have quit using cash for daily expenses while at the same time keeping much more currency for emergency use.
Went on a CO hunting trip with a group. The country had some sort of financial emergency and all the cards were locked down. For some reason I had decided to take cash instead of relying on cards. I was like a Wells Fargo for a day. 2 pickups and 6 broke guys for a day. It sure impressed upon me the fragility of the system.

Id also consider pre 1965 US silver coins. You might be able to buy that loaf of bread with half a dime....

No, I do 20s, 50s and $100s. Couple of grand, total.
I live on the northern coast of the Gulf of 'Merica, so I am in hurricane country six months out of the year. When a storm hits, the power is out, sometimes for weeks at a time.
I can't very well run my credit card, but I can darn sure grab some ice and a 24-pack of ___________ for $50 and have a little change left over. Never had anyone threaten to upcharge me either. Probably has something to do with everyone running around post-landfall strapped with their Pistola, I'm guessing.
I think everyone knows you shave your chest, besides, it's the platform shoes that gave you away.......
I don't eat bread or beans but I carry small bills, nothing more than a $20, for the women around here. Never find yourself in a position to overpay.....

Back in the Day , l had a zippered money compartment in my tooled leathet belt , with two $100 bills .
Back in the '70s , that was enough to handle just about anything . Tow truck , medium serious garage bill , motel room , plus bus ticket home if car actually dead . Plus buy just about any cool gun you suddenly encountered .
That was then . Nowadays it would take close enough to round up to $1,000 , and that's bulky even with hundreds
. But also nowadays , everywhere takes plastic . Or for actual cash , there's an ATM on every corner , and do the daily limit on 2 or 3 debit cards .
