OT: Countdown: Three Weeks to Chaos

[scaredyclassic]

wishing for badness and wanting to do the right thing to protect yourself are different things. “getting a house on the cheap” sounds like profiteering from someone else’s misery. what about just avoiding one’s own damned misery? getting a good deal means being somewhat more financially stable. the economy after all is made up of an innumerable number of little tiny decisions. you don’t make your money when you sell, as they say, you make it (if you do) when you buy. so i would say it’s less about ‘wishing” for bad things to happen, or “wishful thinking”, but more about enhanced prudence and awareness in very financially risky times. in other words, i’d rather make a smart decision than a so-so decision, or a really bad decision.

Chaos is here. Reach out and embrace as much as you can then come back to Piggington’s and panic about the future for cathartic effect.Go back to chaos until you can’t take it…rinse lather repeat. The future is not more chaotic than now…Even if the dollar crashes, the U.S. is supplanted as super power both militarily and economically. The localities in which levels and types of Chaos exhibit themselves just shift.Who has their eyes open and who doesn’t?

I would ask what are the current symptoms of Chaos and how do I address that instead of sitting around fantasizing about shoes dropping, dikes failing ect. Those things always happen. Meanwhile we are a nation full of voluntary debt slaves, self drug and junk food poisoning,cluster bomb building, twinkie whores.Giving our children a future built on day care, obesity and diabetes. We call people marginal underachievers who don’t get on board with unhealthy over consumption and screwing civility to make a buck. I call that chaos.

Russ when the dollar crashed troops are coming home because we can’t fund them anymore. The dollar reserve currency is a very clever global taxation method.

By this time next year, real unemployment will be pushing 26-30% and most state services will be getting slashed because of plummeting tax revenue right at the moment we they need it the most.

Right now the Fed is playing weekend at Bernies until the world pulls the plug.

This is the debt-ocalypse

I will throw a party when the troops come home broke or not, “win or lose”.

Sure you are right about the dollar taxation scheme.

I agree with the others who think life will go on O.K. It makes sense that, unless the U.S is being blown to pieces, some arrangement will be made to accommodate the existing domestic debt structures more or less. There is no way I believe that the dollar becoming less relevant on an international scale, or the U.S default on debt or any of these other things predicted is going to get Joe six pack out of hock.On the other hand “globalism” will not get him off the hook either. He just might change hands to a new set of masters. If J6P survives to pay his debt then those J6P’s currently in the black will certainly survive, albeit within the “lower living standards” of the new economy.

I guess there are some other scenarios that would marginally approximate an “apocalypse”. Perhaps some attempt at confiscation of all domestically held private assets ….and a different form of government. I guess to that you would say, “Bingo”!In that case there goes your gold and the box of tomatoes that I was going to pay my house off with.
