After 20 years with my firm (a big Financial Institution) I told them that they can "shove it" with their vax mandate and I'm retiring effective Dec 31. My boss thinks I'm nuts and he spent the rest of the day trying to pull me back into the Matrix by "enticing" me to stay. Didn't work. I told him that i can no longer work for a company that is taking a tyrannical approach to these vaccines and that those in management who chose to enforce these "mandates" chose poorly and will end up on the wrong side of history.(I believe that resonated with my boss but in the end, he still thinks I'm nuts!). Now that I have no job I plan on becoming a full time red-piller...wish me luck!
A good by product of this is that I have much greater control of my 401k after I leave the firm. Thinking of moving a portion to a precious metals IRA - any thoughts on that? Any other suggestions?
If I had money I would buy acreage in a conservative state with full mineral and water rights. I'd build a huge warehouse and start stockpiling shelf stable necessities. Specifically things that will be in great demand if TSHTF, but which I could easily sell at any time.
One example is salt. In my area everyone is on well water and looking for the most affordable water treatment salt. So, I might start a salt delivery business and create a steady flow. Then I'd reinvest my profits to accumulate a large backup of inventory. In my experience, salt has only crept up in price. It doesn't fluctuate like so many commodities, but it's critical and supply chain breakdowns could change that quickly.
Then, I'd find a few other products and expand, to include things that could be sold locally and online. Canned pet food and cat litter come to mind. God forbid it should come to that, but you'd never starve if you had a warehouse of canned cat food.
Sanitation products, as well.
I would optimize my delivery vehicles to serve the local community with affordable delivery of such products and also stock a few things to sell online. O rings, maybe? I don't know, just spit-balling.

Good to know, thanks.
I need to study up on water rights.
