Did they factor in for the possibility of multiple universes? I know physicists have been truly blessed in the brain department, but how would one even begin to contemplate something like that! Did the super computer(s) they used figure out the atomic makeup of dark matter and black holes? It’s amazing to me how much we’ve learned about our universe since the advent of computers, but there still is much more that we don’t have a clue about. Btw, those are the kind of shows I enjoy, “How the Universe Works” always makes me feel really small, like the size of a quark.

Kaiser, I don’t know if they are miserable or just conditioned to a certain way of life. They are a thrifty, hard working society and are developing (some might say stealing/borrowing) some impressive technologies lately. They now have a smart looking supersonic drone which travels at Mach3, satellite destroying missiles, and plans to build a base station on the dark side of the moon in the next several years. Remember Pink Floyd? I just don’t think Xi Jinping is focusing on the happiness of his countrymen as a top priority.

Kaiser,

I too noticed that the Mint has 15 products scheduled for release in “Summer” & 15 products for “Fall” release scheduled (some have actual dates, but most do not). So get your budgets planned on your computer spreadsheet!
I also noticed that for some reason it seems the annual Proof coin set & annual Uncirculated coin set is not scheduled for much later than normal this year. I wonder why?

Kaiser,

“No man is an island”…Maybe you could join the Green Party & hug trees in your free time. Lol. Southern ladies here in Texas plant tomatoes whether they need them or not…but we here on this website already have a lifetime hobby of numismatics.

I’ve heard that too, D&C. After all, the Dollar isn’t backed by gold anymore(thanks, Nixon), but merely by the good faith of our government. I don’t know about you, but my faith in our government has waned in recent years (decades actually!) The really sad thing for me is that I’m getting used to expenses thrown around in the trillions of dollars. My brain has a hard time contemplating a billion of something, a trillion things would cause my brain to simply explode. Lol. Gov Huckabee signed the Legal Tender Act into law which makes gold and silver metals legal tender, with no taxes on the purchase or sale of said metals. I know where I’m going if I decide to sell my gold or silver! They’re not printing dollars backed by either, although that might be what we need to get our deficit spending under control. Finally, a governor with some common sense!

Craig,

Amen dude!

I like “Beto” (Robert Francis O’Rourke) basically, but the poor handsome man lives in what we call “Hell Paso”, Texas just a walk away from the border murder capital of Mexico at Cuidad Juarez, Mexico.
I spent a month there one night as they say! Lol.
Austin is highly gay, very wealthy & a high-tech hub for many decades with even Elon Musk buying up lots of land here recently & employing many at one of his many companies.
Austin is the “Live Music Capital” of the USA. Austin also has the largest campus of The University of Texas System, with 52,000 students from all over the world at the Austin campus (basically a small city).
Of course, SXSW festival/gathering here each year is probably second only to Mardi Gras week in New Orleans in its size & scope.
It’s a place many celebrities call home, like Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaughey & Willie Nelson.
The State of Texas government here in the Capital City of Austin built a fairly new precious metals vault/depository for anyone to use for fees & licensed by the Federal government to hold precious metals IRA account silver, gold, platinum, palladium & rhodium coins, bars/ingots, rounds etc.

So, sit back, relax & have a glass of the house wine of Texas – Southern style sugary iced tea.
We also have lots of “black gold, Texas tea” if that is your investment thing…Y’all come back now, you hear!

Conspiracy? Liberals are the one’s always shouting “Russia, Russia, Russia”, no? I’m not surprised you enjoy the Austin lifestyle. Isn’t it home to one of the largest gay populations in the US? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’ll bet you’re more of a Beto O’Rourke type vs a Chuck Norris.

Craig,

No thanks! I’m just fine here in The Great State of Texas, with no state income tax in the Democrat enclave of Austin (“Keep Austin Weird”).
Are you in the state of Reality? Or are you in the state of Conspiracy here, there & everywhere?

I believe you are mostly correct in your assessment Kaiser. If a “total collapse of our economic structure” occurs, we probably wouldn’t have access to our monetary funds, or they would be practically worthless, Hell, if our electric grid was compromised for a period of time, most of us would be up a creek without a paddle. That’s one of the reasons I hold gold and silver coins, they are fungible and I think would be in demand for the procurement of essential products. Now Kaiser, I’m not planning for the total collapse, but some sectors of our economy do seem to be in distress..been in any of our largest cities lately? You nailed it when stating about the safety of stepping outside in your scenario..personal protection would be essential.Hopefully before anything like this manifests itself, we are able to buy more of those Morgan and Peace dollars! We always seem to have to wait until Summer and Fall to buy their best products.

California wants you to come home!
