You figure most systems, including the internet, are huge. So if one part of its goes down, it's like a major car wreck occurring on one section of the interstate highway system not affecting other parts.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78555685


Agree. It's not a global outage as the thread title suggests. I imagine local areas may be affected by some local failure.

Perfect response.
Someone, somewhere, is testing the resiliency of the financial network(s). Yesterday, the Fed was DOWN. Today, Visa and Mastercard were DOWN in places.

At some point soon, before countermeasures and backups can be deployed, the real strike is going to take place. And the targets ain't coming back up for a LONG, DARK time.

Customers are reporting credit-card payment crashes at restaurants and stores across the US, including Chick-fil-A and Ikea

Customers at McDonald's, Ikea, Popeyes, and others say they can't pay using their credit cards.

The payments processor Fiserv said its services were interrupted on Friday.

Earlier in the day, Chick-fil-A experienced an outage and gave out free meals.

Visit the Business section of Insider for more stories.

Businesses across the US are accepting only cash as their credit-card payments systems are down.

Fiserv, one of the leading payments providers in the US, told Insider, "A widespread internet service provider outage has impacted multiple businesses today." Ann Cave, a company spokesperson, added in an email: "Some Fiserv services that rely on internet connectivity were interrupted. The majority have been restored and we are fully focused on restoring the remainder." Fiserv declined to name its internet service provider.

Customers on Twitter reported outages at Ikea, Forever 21, McDonald's, and Popeyes, as well as at local places like a car wash and the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. Representatives from the businesses weren't immediately available for comment on Friday.

Yes... I have suggested over the course of the last two years at least that one can still buy crates of various candies, cokes, and other popular drinks and foods for the early days of the later Christian Apocalypse events. There will be alot of people more than willing to part with seemingly anything with up to remarkable ease just for one or more of the "Old World Goods". In fact, if I can I will name my Apocalypse Store, "Old World Goods".

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77399006


If you look at history, precious metals are needed just after people stop believing in paper money (hyperinflation). The precious metals are only good for as long as they are legal to be owned, and before a new currency has been created.

It could be different this time around because of prolonged civil wars, and world wars, in which case you'll need precious metals for buying your goods on the black market.

Any way about, you should always keep 10% of your savings in physical precious metals. Never keep all your eggs in one basket. You should also used at least 4 banks, because if they limit withdrawals, you'll have 4 wells to go to, instead of just 1. Keep you options open.

At present I have no possible chance to really do what I described. I figure my only form of payment in this scenario will be a barter system. I figure during this scenario the Illuminati's various fiat currencies will be better used as heating fuel than as money of any kind. I would suggest at least some bricks of as many Illuminati currency be saved strictly as "Lessons From the Past" type of thing. One bit being, "See?! We ain't lying, boys and girls!" for future history classes.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77916968


Depends on whether you have actual physical precious metals or paper certificates supposedly backed by them. I remember in the late 70s I lived in Mexico. The peso was a silver coin and the value of the metal in the coin was greater than the market value of a peso, which led to people melting them down into bars or turning them into earrings and necklaces to sell for a considerable profit, until the government stepped in and pulled them from circulation, replacing the peso with a plated cardboard "new peso".
