Noooo commodity market is speculative based on supply and demand when it comes to what backs money.
If the Chicago market fell the same way the NY markets did, we'd all be starving or dead.

Nope. Market speculation is speculative. It is what people THINK things will be. It's a gamble.
Again, nope. You can't do as much with hot air as you can with Au or U.
Very few people know how to survive in the bush, know their edible and medicinal plants or which will kill them. This area is a veritable smorgasbord of unharvested food. People will starve out of ignorance but not before they kill each other trying to stave off the inevitable.
If the supply isn't there and you speculate low or the supply is there but the money isn't from speculating too high? Supply and demand have to balance. They just don't wing it.
There are people who hunt and gather and there are those who hunt and gather those who hunt and gather.
That is why I would never live in a city. A few years ago we had a three day blackout. The grocery store was empty within 24 hours as people panic bought everything in it. If the blackout lasted two weeks, Nakusp would have been a ghost town.
It's still just guessing, educated or not. Things used to be valued according to how useful they were as tools, food, etc. not how much they could be worth to sell or buy.
I agree. So?
Most people wouldn't know how to find the hunters and gatherers. They would hunt the easy pickins first; other town and city dwellers.
Luck is irrelevant. We do quite well here and it's pretty independant from economies, but thanks.
City or town they all migate to the countryside to the lakes, valleys and forests. You yourself use the term "sheeple" all it takes is one to know where to go and rest follow.
Ah! The sheeple will gather at specific places. Makes it easy picking for those who know how to hunt. I've been keeping track of the vegetarians in this area. Not too fond of third hand protein.
