We're not running away but going to be closer to my wife's family. She gave up a lot to come to the US so my turn is coming up. As to shutting up, come make me coward.

Gold/silver are tricky things. They are a hedge against inflation, but still physical objects subject declines as people use less/be controlled. I don't have nearly the savings I'd like, but I have bought some silver as it makes sense to me to have. I buy it assuming I'll lose money on it, but accepting that as the cost of an insurance that might pay off in certain circumstances.

How can I come and make you a coward if you are toiling away in a Chinese slave camp in the Philippines? Your only running away into a Chinese invasion.

Filipino president ding-dong announced this morning that he was suspending the suspension of the defense treaty with the US that he suspended a couple of years ago. I guess China's breath on his neck stinks too much.

China will conquer the Philippines and enslave and slaughter most of the population.

Enjoy your "life" the Philippines, Xeraphim1.

I can start drawing on my retirement in eight years.

There is no possibility of conquering a country of 106 million people where Chinese are disliked and there are lots of guns.
