The right-wing push for people to buy gold has started up again

[RAB910]

during the Obama era, right-winger propaganda networks and commercials pushed buying gold. They did that because they know the more money is invested in gold the worse it is for the economy (since money invested in gold does nothing to help the economy and actually hurts since that capital could be used to create jobs and goods and services).

The push to buy gold stopped under Trump but now that Biden is president it's started back up. Heard Bill O'Reilly on a commercial telling everyone to put their money into gold.

3. Let them waste their money.

It’s so precious that they believe that if the government collapsed, gold would be worth anything. You can’t build a house out of it, eat it, grow crops with it, fix a car with it, burn it to heat a house... Bless their hearts.

4. They should stockpile Jack Daniels instead

You can trade it for any of the items listed above.

And if things get really miserable, it provides more comfort than gold.

5. LOL - still a bad idea, but at least JD would be worth SOMETHING!

Eventually the others in the prepped squad WOULD get sick of their kombucha or rotgut distilling, and trade for the real deal. But still... it amazes me how badly these Armageddon cultists plan for an actual apocalypse.
