Small, valuable goods are what ends up being used for currency in stable barter systems.
Gems, gold, silver, useful minerals or plants, cigarettes and booze, etc.
In unstable systems it becomes weapons, ammo, and tools that are more in demand since if you can’t defend what you have, someone shoots you and takes all your gold, gems, and booze.
There are some good LEO that do the job with good intentions. The problem is no longer the individual officer, but the job itself. A LEO's job is to enforce laws handed down by the people's government. The people haven't had a representative govt in a bit, but starting with all the abuses of power to rid the country of Trump, the race riots, the absolute disgusting abuse of power during this Covid scam, the enormous spending packages designed to transfer wealth from the people to the masters, and the overthrow of the USA gov't by a rogue regime that now occupies the white house, it's no longer even an illusion of one. This means that the job of a LEO is now OPPRESSING the masses. It is no longer law enforcement. It is tyranny. Even a traffic stop is an abuse of power today.
I understand many guys put many years in the job and most with good intentions, but the job today is to serve under a hostile globalist govt full of evil sick people that are in the process of destroying this country. Why would you want to support that? This same logic can be applied to the military guys today. I would have ZERO respect for a man that chooses law enforcement or the military today. You are signing up against your fellow Americans. Why would you want to do that? You guys that are in now have some serious soul searching to do. I have said this many times. This can be said for those that work for these evil corporate oligarchs. You should not conform to their standards any longer. Doing so says a lot about the man.
My intentions are not to demonize a group of people or a single profession. My intentions are to open a dialogue to discuss these issues. I wonder how many LEO here on the Hide took part in enforcing this covid madness? How many took part in intimidating or heaven forbid arresting business owners for trying to make a living? If this is you, how did you justify your actions? How did you sleep at night? Many may not like reading what I am writing, but it must be discussed.
I wrote that disclaimer in a post about a year or two ago exactly as you just wrote. A man got mad at what I wrote and told me that my opinions are mine. No shit! Whose else's would it be. So the next post I wrote I put the disclaimer on bottom to clarify so he would be less confused. LOL. Is that where you seen it?
"Just doing my job"
They just deported a fucking POS that's been arguing that very thing since he came here from Germany after the war. "I was just a prison guard doing what I was told"
