This Major Internet Company Has Stockpiled 3 Months of Food and $10 Million In Gold For Their Employees

While the world’s super elite prepare everything from stylish bunkers to emergency submarines, most couldn’t care less about their millions of employees should a widespread crisis strike financial markets or the economic system.

There is, however, one notable high net worth exception according to a recent speech from Overstock.com Chairman Jonathan Johnson who notes that after many years of getting hammered by short-sellers they’ve lost total trust in Wall Street and the government’s ability to look-out for the little guy.

As such, Johnson’s company has taken preemptive measures in anticipation of a major event that could take down payment systems, lock up credit flows and make it impossible for employees to meet their basic needs.

Little did we know that Overstock’s Chairman Jonathan Johnson is as vocal an opponent of the fiat system, and Wall Street’s tendency to create bubble after bubble, if not more than Byrne himself. That, and that his company actually puts its money where its gold-backed money is and in preparation for the next upcoming crash, has taken unprecedented steps to prepare for what comes next.

One week ago Johnson, who is also candidate for Utah governor, spoke at the United Precious Metals Association, or UPMA, which we first profiled a month ago, and which takes advantage of Utah’s special status allowing the it to use gold as legal tender, offering gold and silver-backed accounts. As a reminder, the UPMA takes Federal Reserve Notes (or paper dollars) which it then translates into golden dollars (or silver). The golden dollars are based off the $50 one ounce gold coins produced by the Treasury of The United States. They are legal tender under the law and are protected as such.

What did Johnson tell the UPMA? Here are some choice quotes:

"We are not big fans of Wall Street and we don’t trust them. We foresaw the financial crisis, we fought against the financial crisis that happened in 2008; we don’t trust the banks still and we foresee that with QE3, and QE4 and QE n that at some point there is going to be another significant financial crisis."

"So what do we do as a business so that we would be prepared when that happens. One thing that we do that is fairly unique: we have about $10 million in gold, mostly the small button-sized coins, that we keep outside of the banking system. We expect that when there is a financial crisis there will be a banking holiday. I don’t know if it will be 2 days, or 2 weeks, or 2 months. We have $10 million in gold and silver in denominations small enough that we can use for payroll. We want to be able to keep our employees paid, safe and our site up and running during a financial crisis."

"We also happen to have three months of food supply for every employee that we can live on."

I'm using the term "altruistic" in a loose sense. You can have endless discussions about what it actually means. Try asking an objectivist about his opinion on it.

>loose sense

If you're using a "loose" version, then define it first.

Objectivists use "altruism" as absolute altruism-nothing left behind.

You guys are retarded and if I had been your father, I would've left the family too.

>If you're using a "loose" version, then define it first.

All that would do would be that I would acknowledge I'm using the false word because a) there is no better word and b) not a single human being on this planet will not understand what I'm talking about, no matter how hard the online dictionary claims they will. Giving you my definition would serve the singular purpose of making me appear smarter and wasting more of my time.

>I'm using the term "altruistic" in a sense only I use but I expect you to understand me regardless.

>Every fucking time. Why are libertarians so retarded?

It took me half a year to find an anarchist on /liberty/ who could give me definitions of private and personal property that are actually applicable and not circular, so please, fuck off. Not to mention that you understood perfectly well what I meant.

Guess this serves as my daily reminder that not being a fucking smartass is a complete waste of time with shits like you. Everyone falling in the IQ-range between 105 and 115 should just be gassed, tbh. You're just smart enough to notice minor errors no one gives a shit about and just dumb enough to think that's a productive use of anyones time.

Being correct is priority #2 for you.

Nitpicking, Ahoy!

You also are possibly a commie, and/or believe that the retarded question about personal/private property is worth asking, and could even be useful in any manner.

>Not to mention that you understood perfectly well what I meant.

Assumptions

This is what I will say to you

President bush sucked the vroom-vroom down his gloom and then tried to push Stalin over the lone peaks altruistically.

I want people to understand my ideas. If they do, then it's fucking irrelevant how I made them understand.

>Nitpicking, Ahoy!

Says the guy who demands a definition for a term he understood perfectly well.

>You also are possibly a commie,

Because I speak out against enforced altruism altruism, in this context, meaning actions undertaken for the benefit of others, without consideration; also, fuck you? Yeah, that makes sense. You're just like the dirty /pol/acks who call everyone who disagrees with them an SJW.

>and/or believe that the retarded question about personal/private property is worth asking, and could even be useful in any manner.

It is, when you use definitions that aren't fucking horrible. At the end of the day, ancaps are still right about everything they say, but not because of plebs like you who claim that the distinction between personal and private property was useless.

pottery is something that takes skill

a man spinning the earth like a mill

while his fingers caress the dirt, leaving his mark

for he knows that were he to move his hand

errything that he'd done

would break

and come apart

>Says the guy who demands a definition for a term he understood perfectly well.

I never said it was clear;

if it were,

we wouldn't be engaged in an internet fight

on a crippled site

being fixed by a pedophile

who is now in japan

while his code still feels senile

>Because I speak out against enforced altruism altruism, in this context, meaning actions undertaken for the benefit of others, without consideration;

The man who says he speaketh

but speaketh nay

is the man who never understood

that others are not gay

he still lusts for their member

while he sets aside his gender

on an internet forum run by a cripple.

To such a man,

what could I possibly say?

are you really a commie, btw?

>also, fuck you?

the man

gay with lust

asks another to come nee;

but he sees not that another might not enjoy

his bat, or his spree

',:^)

no thanks, I'm not gay.

>Yeah, that makes sense. You're just like the dirty /pol/acks who call everyone who disagrees with them an SJW.

Those who argue with that tone

and with those lines of text

are seldom found to be

my allies, or my best friends.

>It is, when you use definitions that aren't fucking horrible. At the end of the day, ancaps are still right about everything they say, but not because of plebs like you who claim that the distinction between personal and private property was useless.

The river of lies

Runs black with filth

And the man that passes through

has his blood spilth

over tombs of men

who held only envy in their hearts

and the realization broke them apart

>Correct assumptions.

4U

the man who assumes another to understand

what he sayeth when he sayeth nay;

is also the man

who would never check em dubs

and never feed his goats hay

"Kill yourself"

said the man with the blank flag,

he spoke and let loose a sneer.

I said, "lol wut u must b joking u fag"

and kicked him in his sphere.

He bawled with pain, his bag in hand,

and asked me to come close,

"f-fuck off, f-f-faggot" were the tidings he canned.

Not one to take a blow, I struck a pose,

I unsheathed my katana and chopped off his nose.

"for all that is holy, I'd see thy in agony but nay dead."

With those concise words, I chopped his member,

His peen turned green, and his dick, red and ember.

As I walked through this wicked world,

Searching for light in the darkness of insanity,

I remembered the shitposter whose dick I chopped off,

and refused to voice a profanity.
