2008 was a great kick in the crotch for a LOT of small business’ (”Line’s of credit” we’re called in by the banks and lenders who made shit decisions; that killed the “little” guys who are no more now; not to mention their five or so employee’s). The healthy small to mid-sized business’ hedged their way for a few years until they could realize some gain and got or set up to get out. 2010 was total stop gap QE and 2012 didn’t happen because the gears of the printing presses we’re well lubed and are still spinning at high RPM. Hello 2014 and Q3 when obamacare leverages the (put off by executive order) company mandates. Kiss off small and medium business; those owners KNOW they cannot do it. Game over. Thousands of small business owners “check out” and with them 5-35 employee’s at a clip; it all “trickle’s down” from there (something Liberals tell us all does not and cannot happen). *poof* Good-bye buying power at any level. Hope you prepped ahead of time because Walmarts (or costco, or sam’s, or target’s, etc..) will start to collapse when they have no customer’s to pick up what is on their shelve’s because there is nothing to “spend” to obtain their overseas items.
Detroit is the poster child if only in slow motion. Our energy is under attack (moving goods), our means to provide (by means of burning our food for fuel), Our manufacturing because we have been sending it overseas of years and years because of government. Our laws that enable bureaucrats to to pass regulations on the fly without voter consent.
We are going to kill ourselves by means of instability because of assholes who had no idea “it” (society) could crash so completely yet their college “professor’s” swore “it” would all work if we would just try and give communism another chance!!!!.
/I know, with you, I preach to the choir. I hope google cache’s this shit for other’s to find.
One ‘consolation’ is that those same professors will be ‘consumed’ within the first four months of the collapse which will leave groceries empty. I say good riddance to such filth.
IMO, that right there is one of the primary reasons our republic is now a facade.Our legislature has ceded its constitutional authority and responsibility to unelected bureaucrats. Turning our government into a gigantic monster with no accountability. No matter who we elect, it doesn't change, the bureaucrats just continue along as usual.
