arraya I think you are right on with what is happening. The only thing I will add is that it may not be as bad as so many are predicting. We are going to have to deal with mass unemployment, rioting, etc… I think we are heading towards collapse and breakup of the US just like happened in old Soviet Union. They can try to herd folks into camps but it’s not gonna work. There are too many people here and the govmt. is broke anyway. Now is the time to develop the skills to help make it through the transition. Panicking isn’t gonna help, in fact I think the panic is being started by those at the top to push asset prices down even further so that they can snap it all back up.
What is going to be valuable are real skills, quick thinking, and the ability to adapt to new realities. When the food stops coming to the supermarket people are gonna plant vegetables on the sides of the highway. When the police come to tell them to stop the people are gonna tell them to pack sand. Actually the police will probably help to grow veggies anyway because they’re gonna be hungry too.
The human race has survived a lot of tough things and we’re gonna survive this no problem. We might not dress as well and we might smell worse but we’ll still laugh and have parties and weddings and get drunk.
I think a lot of people realize that the system is busted and they have planned to profit from it by buying gold or certain stocks because they think they can get rich when it happens or at least survive better than their neighbors. Unfortunately they don’t realize that the prices are all rigged and manipulated by those at the top and no matter what you try to do they’re probably gonna get your money. Gold doubloons are easily stolen but abilities aren’t.
