maybe we will end up with 300+ different kingdoms/fiefdoms/etc.
I think us “Red Staters” who aren’t in the major cities will be fine.
The Leftist elites on the coasts and in the urban areas will eat each other though.
Beer don't brew itself, I've got that chore, too.
Bread has to be made every few days, if I want to eat. That's with or without a functional government.
If it all goes south, I'll see it as a tax holiday until the next protection racket/shakedown mob... er... government comes along.

Send more money and an attaboy while making sure that the MSM reporting is understated or absent? Oh wait, I think he already is.

If Texeas secedes, I’m moving there.
It is the Judgement of God, from a Nation that served God to a Godless nation, our cup will be filled with the poisonous swill we turned to and we will be made to drink deeply. The United States, once a free country where a man could serve God, is now a Totaliarian slave State where worship of anything but God is promoted. This country is the Titanic, and the media is playing music in the dining room.
Come out of Babylon my children...
“I think us “Red Staters” who aren’t in the major cities will be fine.”
Me too. Red states will be the place to be. Have to pull any money one might have before the collapse and convert to gold.
I think your analysis and conclusion are well done. Personally, I believe America has been killed. The leadership vacuum will ultimately result in likely global conflict. The US will be especially vulnerable and suffer greatly. In other words, do not plan on growing old gracefully.
Compared to “The Great Vacation” of the 30’s?
Back in the mid '50s-'60s I was a tramp printer, with a new job every few months. (Was trying to get a drivers license from every state in the Union. (Seemed like a good idea at the time)) Gave it up when Hawaii and Alaska came in.
I made it a point to talk with the Old Timers re: the Depression. The general theme was that while they didn't have any money, those on farms made out OK as far as food and shelter went. For the city folks, it was a different story.
I highly recommend stocking up on beans and bullets. If you think you have enough buy somemore.
As my grandmother pointed out, you can’t miss what you never had. All they had was a radio for the whole family anyway. People fixed things when they broke and didn’t spend a lot of time worrying about buying things they couldn’t afford.
My great grandmother used to say “There’ll be wind pudding if the crops don’t come in.” Meaning that she would feed me but only after I did the chores.
Yep. Mom and dad were small but remembered it and told us stories about it
. Moms parents had a farm. They didn't have everything they wanted, but had everything they needed.
Dad lived in a city. Every day they stood in line for government beets and butter flavored lard. Every day they ate beets and lard. That's all the government had to offer them. That's all they had to eat.
I would suspect you wouldn’t be allowed, and many there now will be pushed out
Never have needed the government, don't need them now either! Any city slickers venturing out to look for food had better not come sneaking onto my private property! If someone is truly hungry and is in need of food and shelter, I can and will provide in return for some hard work! No honest American will be turned away, but, the help will come with hard work!
DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT ENTERING THE PROPERTY AFTER O DARK THIRTY!
That’s a great post right there.
I’m not nearly as far along as you, but I am slowly but surely moving in a similar direction. Got gardens and chickens, guns and ammo, a big dog, a stream and a well, oil lamps and oil, a nice big cast-iron wood stove with cooktop, plenty of parks and woods loaded with deer, turkey, and critters, some supplies...
It’s a lot of work, but it’s a labor of love.
Except for the laptops and ZZ Top music.
