We are fast heading into a barter economy where goods and services may be localized in a data base by someone who can put the labor of one person into a "bank" of sorts. For instance, I as a "retired" plumber can still do plumbing. So if I were to say I was willing to put 10 hours of labor towards whatever in that database at 50 fed notes per hour or better yet, two boxes of 9mm ammo an hour, or maybe whatever equals the 50 fed notes in silver per hour and the operator of the system takes a small cut for their effort, which could total a LOT, he can line me up with someone who needs plumbing or whatever I'm willing to trade. It may sound complicated, but I think that someone with the understanding of how to do a data base would be able to accomplish it quite easily. Once the word gets out things will start happening.

Decentralization of food production and distribution is the only solution. Why farmers do not go from house to house (at least in provinces and countryside) selling their goods and prefer the middle man beats me !
