Interesting. Nothing would surprise me. I wonder what kinds of things we would be contaminated with. Biological contaminants or (yikes) radioactive?

Isn’t one of our posters (lindismith?) in the production of body bags? Are sales increasing?

Also interesting to note that while most retail sales are down, gun sales are up. I was in the discount gun mart (on Morena) and they were packed. The owner told me he’s never seen it like this!

[quote=arraya]So what would de-sensitize mean. I took it as withdrawing from information that disturbs or scares. So in essence what you said was “not being scared” Am I wrong?[/quote]Yes, wrong on both counts. I didn’t mean you should withdraw from info nor did I intend to say you should not be scared (although I don’t think you should be). What I meant was, don’t act rashly. Be calm.
[quote=arraya]HAHA..I’m not the one that wants to be de-sensitized. On another level, where do you get your information about economics, government etc… MSNBC, NYT, CNN? Come on you’re here, that pretty says what your faith level is in the 4th estate.[/quote]Not so sure I understand what you’re saying here, but I think you’re wrong again. I don’t read any of those news sites. There are 18 news sources (many outside America) in my bookmark tab called “daily”. Piggington is one of them because I like to read all the angles: from the most bearish to the most bullish.[quote=arraya]So are you saying that there is nothing to be alarmed or cause need for a change of plans or anything that would affect your life on the internet? Interesting.[/quote]Nope, never said that. On the contrary, I think the internet is one of the most powerful and useful tools ever invented.[quote=arraya]I already made preparations and watching the storm waiting to dump my dollars at the right time before the world dumps it sometime next year.[/quote]That’s great! What preparations did you make, and where will you be dumping your dollars?[quote=arraya]Admittedly I’m not a savvy trader or a guru in economics but I have a pretty good big picture of things. I Forest Gumped may way into some bubble money from California RE and bailed at the right time because I found this site. Have to say, what I learned on here was alarming and I adjusted my life and it worked out pretty well. Hmmm, being alarmed helped me. From there I found peak oil and all the great blogs that cover that subject. So back in 06 when I knew energy was going through the roof before the whole economy would explode in flames I bought some energy stocks and gold. That worked out pretty well too. Also, I dumped oil about a week from the top because I paid close attention by reading blogs. So you might say I have become quite found of the internet.[/quote]I’m happy to hear that.

In the short term/middle term, the world economy is too intertwined with U.S. consumers to severe ties with USD or the US economy right now. What the US brings to the table is a pool of consumers that often spend $2 for every $1 they have, and there is no other pool of consumers in the rest of the world that can substitute that in the short term. [/quote]Funny I was listening to NPR and you’re right: they will never find a consumer group as big as ours that spends more than it earns; however, they said Americans spend $1.27 for every dollar earned while Brits spend $1.65 for every dollar earned… It will be interesting to see how things pan out in England.
