Sigh.

What, exactly, do you think is going to happen?

There is plenty of food to go around. Look at how fat everyone is in America.

CostCo was swarmed, today. In fact, I actually said ‘worst depression ever’ in true comic book guy fashion.

Kewp, that is just the problem, everyone happens to look inside the box. A busy Costco doesn’t necessarily mean our economy is booming. Costco means bulk and people are sometimes misled that Costco is the cheapest. Even in the new “Greatest Depression” Wal-Mart will thrive because they offer the cheapest products in town, so don’t kid yourself into thinking a busy store means everything is ok.

It’s the small things that actually trouble me. If the cost of goods hits a certain point due to inflation which seems inevitable, I can only imagine, just based on this fact alone, that we could see some serious issues here in the US.

No one really knows what could happen. As you well know this country is emotionally based. If the media starts pushing out the true picture of our country things could change overnight. Right now they are doing quite well at hiding the facts. They can’t hide the numbers for to long and when that happens I would hope that those who had the chance to prepare did so!

The last few years I have spent ample time burying my head into the current numbers that directly effect our economy. I’ve looked at unemployment numbers to debt and I personally feel we are at an unsustainable point in this country and globally.

Like I always say, “Prepare for the worst, but HOPE for the best”. I am not referring to the type of Hope Barack Obama was shooting for. That type of hope is a crowd of people thinking one person can do it all. This country is far too lazy to solve such a great calamity, they want everyone handed down on a silver platter while the responsible fit the bill.

Trust me, things are going to get much worse and if you don’t think we are going to see some catastrophic issues in this country you will be sorely mistaken.

If our govt decides to debase the currency as unemployment rises and defaults increase. We will have the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots” growing much greater than ever before. And the numbers of “have nots” will be much greater as well. This may not bode well for our civic safety and public good.

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.

And stock up on cigars and wine, who says the collapse of western civilization cannot be done with style.

Whatever you think might happen or hope happens, you should already have stockpiles of food and water. Ask any Ramona resident about not having water for weeks, check with anyone who lived through a devastating earthquake, I bet they have plenty of both. Even if you never use your stockpile, it will make you sleep better, it’s like having fire insurance, you’ll probably never need it but if you do it’s nice. I personally lived through a catastrophe many years ago and had to drink the water from the toilet tank to get through the third day (yucky), fortunately it never got to the point of drinking the bowl water (super yucky). Once you’ve drank toilet water, you always have a stockpile (and you never put the blue stuff in the tank). That was in the days before bottled water was so commonplace, for very little money you can get a 55 gallon plastic drum and fill it with tap water, you can also buy ten cases of bottled water for $50 and stack them in the garage.

My biggest fear is thousands of handguns going to scared novices. You don’t point and shoot handguns, you are more likely to hurt youself than protect yourself. If you really get scared, but a shotgun or take the time now to learn how to shoot, you don’t just buy a gun because it’s on your survival checklist. Until you put at least a thousand rounds through a handgun, you are a danger to yourself. When and if you ever need to use it, your heart will be racing, your hands will be shaking and if you haven’t already mastered the muscle memory in a calm situation, you will fold like lawn chair under duress.
