Episode notes

So people after the run is on the bank, just to say, you know what, I need to have 100 grand of gold in my safe or my safety deposit box. And they are, this always resets people's brains to say, what's my backup to the dollar? What's the backup to my bank account? You know, do I have gasoline? It basically just triggers the prepper in everybody.
