What now?
Wanna know a real post-collapse gold standard currency? Antibiotics.
They're currently strictly controlled so very few have any personal stockpile, difficult to make, have life-or-death value, and stored correctly have a real world self-life far longer than the already generous use by dates, making them far less perishable than food.
Even just NyQuil would have significant value, and follows all that nonsense chart the other person posted. But NyQuil falls under "grass" in the big rhyming three: Drugs. Antibiotics do too, in their own way. But there is a difference between preparing for a recession, preparing for a depression, and preparing for a collapse.
Yeah, very different, I get it. The ass, gas, and grass paradigm definitely seems like a post-collapse one, hence the collapse specific suggestion.
Heh, though I didn't know grass was supposed to cover drugs, I figured it was an obscure way of making food rhyme with gas.
