[quote=barnaby33]The end is nigh, repent. The sun will not stop shining, the water will more than likely not stop flowing and we will not wake up penniless in the land that our fore-fathers conquered.
We are however going to be a fair amount poorer overall, and those at the bottom end of the spectrum will take the brunt as they always do. Its good to prepare for contingencies, but if things get as bad as this thread intimates, you are going to need guns and salt, not gold.

Josh, there is chance that water could stop flowing. The infrastructure in this country that handles our water supply will soon have issues of its own as the west continues to feel the pain of a drought. Many will wake up penniless, don’t think that is not possible. As unemployment rises and the value of the dollar drops many will experience pain in this country. Think about the amount of people that live paycheck to paycheck in this country. If the job is gone and the price of goods continues to move up with inflation, I can only imagine what will occur in this country.
Do I live my life in fear? Of course not! Preparing for an earthquake is much different than preparing for a catastrophic economic event. I have a wife and child that I support along with a few family members that are currently struggling. I want to them to all be prepared for what could happen. I don’t have a clue what will happen, but I think the assumption that things will get harsh in this country is probably a safe assumption. Those that choose to ignore the facts will get blindsided, there is no doubt about that!
