The Atlantic is reading and quoting our posts!
We all should be more careful about divulging any personal info about ourselves or our locations on here.

Interesting story. Thanks for sharing. We are a small marginalized community.
I'm glad it was a "don't mind the the crazy people," and not a "how to" article.

' Another hoarder fretted about “the real social threat”: Oprah or a Kardashian tweeting about nickels.'

The article closes with:
"Five-cent coins, after all, will always be five-cent coins. In the 1930s, a nickel could get you a bottle of Coke. In the ’60s, it could get you a stamp. In the ’80s, it could get you a piece of gum. But good luck finding anything for that much these days."
Which shows that the writer has completely (willfully?) missed the whole point of stacking good money (driven out of the market by Gresham's bad money) in the first place. What changed, the composition of the nickel itself or the amount of Federal Reserve Hiney Wipes in circulation? Saahil Desai earned himself a pat on the head from his bosses and the smug subscribers of The Atlantic can continue to look down upon us from their vaulted palaces. All's well in their world.
I mean the article is in The Atlantic, a publication not exactly known for being a stalwart defender of our God-given rights. We shouldn't expect "that they should declare the causes which impel" us to stack.

Desai is just another shill of the debt based fiat scam system. He simply does what he's told for a paycheck... just like 95% of the rest of the world's working population. Hopefully it all comes to an end sooner than later... print that Desai!

Curious to find out if subs increased here as result of the mention.
