Yen went on a free fall to a 24 year low yesterday. It is the third largest fiat currency in the world. Japan is also the largest holder of US treasuries.

    We have them because we live in earthquake country.

    Estimated time to get power back to our property after the Big One will be 6+ months.

      The big one refers to that impending earthquake on the northwest coast right?

      Absolutely wild that there's been basically no preparation for that at a systemic level

        There has been some but mostly at city/metro level.

        Some cities have caches of generators/tents, but most will rely on FEMA.
