a collapse of the petrodollar may very well cause huge amounts of American manufacturers to go back to the U.S.
That bit sounds pretty good actually.
I say bring it on. I can live off of the land if need be, and so can you.
It's time for things to change, and if that's what it takes, then so be it.
I think you are minority ("can live off of the land")

If people don't know how to cast a line with a hook and a worm on it into a river... i worry.

The petrodollar collapse is not something to cheer; it's something to fear. That scenario is a true, real, precipitous global meltdown, the likes of which the world has never seen.
Will the collapse be bad? Yes.
Is it a bad thing? No.
Why? Because it will finally cause a global reset and crush the central banks. Those holding gold will prosper, those holding fiat mony will crumble. At this point in time I would accept anything that will break the hold of the Fed, IMF, etc. If we don't free ourselves from those vampires we are doomed to eternal slavery.
You will accept ANYTHING ? to break the hold of these organizations who will replace with something even better ? Nice.

Yep I would accept anything to break the hold these parasites have over humanity. As long as they go down I'll be happy, even if I go down with them. You don't know what will replace it, neither do I but on the slim chance it could be better it's worth the risk IMO.
As far as the gold goes it's one of the only real assets that's actually maintained value and credibility over the last few millennium. You can do what you like but I'll keep some gold and silver thank you very much. Guns, ammo, tools and individual skills are also a good bet.
If you have a better idea I'd love to hear it.
