In my opinion, no matter how you slice it, giving a central cartel of bankers the ability to expand and contract a fiat money supply, complemented by a fractional reserve banking system... well, based on world history, there is zero probability of our currency surviving.

I own Larson's Ski and Sport in Wheat Ridge.

Prices are going down because the supply of goods is going up and your money is growing.

I even supplied all the funds, forms and offered 50/50 splits for any properties I bought and resold.

It's all local.I wish my college area would fall, but there seems to be an endless supply of rich parents or 'investors' betting on appreciation who are willing to pay up.

How they could supply what I needed?

I am ahrd on myself and hate to lose, so I do everything possible to avoid a loss, both in business and in sports.

I would definitely stock up on food, water, ammo, a crank-type radio, and other emergency supplies.

We will see supply and demand equalize in the next 12-18 months, and that will be the number that will show us the official bottom.

Hyperinflation is an extreme version of that.Typical tools to fight inflation include raising interest rates and shrinking the money supply to slow down an overheated economy.
