Anyone ready for it?

Anyone doing anything different?

Taking any steps?

What are you doing?

What do you think will happen short term?

What do you think will happen long term?

Personally, I think the total of even partial economic collapse of any of the unions/countries will trigger a collapse like nothing we have experienced before. Quadrillions of debt owing all over the planet.

The banksters, governments and corporations all lobbying each other to pay their Visa bills with their Mastercards...... And failing miserably at that.

Discuss.

I got my guns and ready for war.

I don't think anything will happen because of this. I fear the loss of resources more than this. When the resources get low is when the real hell will begin. Not sure when that will happen, though. To prepare for it globally, we need to come up with innovation and technology which will offset it before we are anywhere near being in short supply. Figure stuff out like never before.

Its already happened though hasn't it?

Yes which is why it's not too bad. Sure it's not great but it's certainly survivable.

I have a sharp pencil.

Once civilization collapses I'll take my sharp pencil and eliminate the nearest person with supplies. And then I'll be ready. I may take his family as slaves but we'll see how fit they are.

I am intrigued by your ideas and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter!

I live in Canada and I can only arm myself with a pencil, or a Sharpie depending on who you ask.

Any particular brand of pencil?

You might want to save that pencil to make notes

I have a shotgun and a lot of supplies. Anyone who gets near me or my supplies will wish they had brought more than a pencil.

Better get something better than a shotgun.

I've got live traps and know how to make them. In the chaos, you're going to come across some unsavory people, and if it's you or them, of course it's going to be them. And when you do them in, why not make their corpse of some use? There are some sites that describe how to butcher a person, which you then can use the viscera to bait your traps, and not waste things you'd enjoy better eating yourself. But if you need to eat human flesh to survive, I guess you can do that to. Some of the sites even have recipes. But I'm not worried about that I'd have to consider it because there is too many resources around me. The only thing I'm worried about are bad guys coming to get what I have.

I think the whole thing will be invigorating!

I would use a standard yellow #2. It has a certain surprise value and will be readily available in a range of post-apocalyptic or economic collapse scenarios. A pocket sharpener can improve your reload times. Carrying a back up pencil is probably a good idea.

Then just perfect your friendly neighbor routine. And get real close.

There has been no total global economic collapse yet, just tremors so far.

The Powers That Be have been busy kicking the can down the road so they can continue burning and pillaging, getting themselves vastly rich and powerful in the process. The can is running out of room to be kicked.

In fact, there is no can anymore....

Were talking worse than the great depression.

Spain just took a "bailout" over $100billion this week, it was gone in a day... A DAY!! !! !! ! But the talking heads are up there chanting "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, rah rah rah hey hey hey!" "recovery!!"

We still have another housing bubble, a student debt bubble and a credit card bubble just waiting to pop in the USA

China... Oh wow, poor China... They are building HUGE massive cities as make work projects that nobody lives in...... something like 70 million empty newish units.... Look up "ghost cities china". Still, I think the renmimbi will end up taking over the US Dollar....

Canada has been lying about their banks, leverage, exposure....

Germany is going to finally win the war... decades later, without bullets.

The core and periphery of the EU are totally broken and broke.

All of them are printing money out of thin air backed by nothing other than more debt at ever higher interest rates... The whole global economy has been hi-jacked and turned into a giant ponzi scheme. The rich get richer, the poor get... poorer..

Global debt is so top heavy it would take the GDP of the globe a thousand years to pay off (generalizing a bit here)

Well, I don't think I have time to perfect the friendly neighbor bit, I'm not good with people, Maybe I will just pretend I'm injured.

Oh don't you worry...I've got much better than just a shotgun!

Damn Americans..... Probably has a rocket launcher or something....


Just Kidding!! !! </SARC>
