socratt, you’re right on all points. I was only trying to point out that collapse is inevitable and has occurred many times throughout human history. The Soviet Union collapsed recently, yet most of the people survived! Yes some died, some froze, some were murdered and some starved. The same was true when the Incan empire collapsed, when the Mayan and Roman empires collapsed (those collapses took hundreds of years BTW!) These things will happen here also. Worrying about it isn’t going to help but a little planning might. Having a gun isn’t a bad idea, some useful items like food and water, a couple of gold coins or diamonds to give the nasty that’s pointing a gun at you to make him go away, that’s a good idea as well. But nothing will beat knowing your family, friends, and neighbors and being able to count on them when times get tough.
Honestly I think that the worst that will happen to the majority of Americans is that they won’t be able to buy new Jet Skis every year. We’re going to have to live like normal people again. That means grandpa and grandma and uncle johnny and his family are all moving into the house and we’re gonna plant tomatoes in the backyard and make our own ice cream for fun on Saturday night.
