In WIKI world, that never happens.
This is part of that place where people don't really want to think about it. They don't want to face reality. As long as they have someone to blame for all their problems, their world is intact.
It's all the fault of (pick one; republicans, democrats, evil corporations, fat people, smokers, SUV drivers, Carbon over-users, Global warming)
Yes we are doing the logically right things in a world that has lost it's collective mind.
Of course, WE must be the nuts. Otherwise, they'd have to come to grips with reality, and there just might be more to worry about there than breaking a fingernail.

Done.
...although I was a little more diplomatic in the wording. My addendum is in bold:

For some of these reasons, junk silver is popular among survivalists. In the event of a crisis or catastrophe during which traditional currency collapses, it is speculated that silver coins could provide a viable alternative, temporarily or indefinitely, while fiat currency, which is not back by precious metals or other commodities, has no inherent value and can be subject to extreme inflation, even hyperinflation, similar to Weimar Germany and, more recently, Zimbabwe. Proponents of junk silver and other precious metals adhere to the principle that while fiat currencies have historically always been subject to hyperinflation, precious metals will always have inherent value and can act as a medium of financial exchange when fiat instruments of payment are obsolete.

Like a friend of mine used to say (JPF231) -
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean nobody is out to get you. |
