Silver is now at a minimum $30/oz, regardless of what spot says, because dealers know that’s the price people are ready to pay for it.

There’s a great article from a guy in Venezuela who talked about how having two mango trees in his yard ultimately became the difference between life and death for his family. They ate fresh when they could, put excess fruit in the freezer, and got protein and other nutrients wherever they could. At the very least, you want to plant a source of fruit in your backyard. There’s a great video of a backyard orchard in which a guy shows how, with 12 trees, he can harvest fruit for 7 months out of the year. Add one or two nut trees to the mix and you’ve got shelf stable protein that will be good all winter to boot.
