It seems like every day, the tea leaves come up the same; bad times are ahead.
I was hoping to check in and see if anyone else was thinking about how they will effectively run their business on the barter system once the dollar becomes totally worthless in a couple of years. Have you considered how many eggs you will accept for your hand carved signs? Will you have someone trained in appraisals who can determine the value of guitars, batteries and gold teeth, and how big of a "Family starving, will do literally anything for food!" sign it will get them in trade? Do you have a pen or other area where livestock and food animals (such as sheep, goats and dogs) will be kept? Do you have plans to transition your bucket trucks into bucket horse drawn wagons? What will be your policies on installing signs in the irradiated wastelands? Will your designers stick with "The end is nigh", or will you modernize the language to "The end is near"?
Right now, we're just starting this process. We're already instituting a policy that we simply will not accept jobs in sectors where cannibalism has been confirmed, and we plan on providing signage to whatever gang boss or monsterous dictator that rises to power locally in exchange for their protection (and sign permitting). We've already decided to be mutant-tolerant, and to accept all customers as equals, no matter how many eyes and fingers they have. I think our biggest concern is going to be labor costs, so hopefully the warlords will come through with prisoners who we can put to work removing screws and bending sharp metal with their bare hands in the work rooms.
It's going to be an exciting time. Lots of changes on the horizon.
What kinds of plans have you made?
