I saw this in Mongolia when the Soviet Union fell apart. There was no heat in the apartment buildings so they moved out into the country and lived in tents. The electricity might be on a few hours a day. They came out of it but it was with a lot of monetary help from us. It became very real to me how civilizations die.
When the cities, counties and states that are over spent and can't pay their bills and fix the roads, things go down hill FAST. I am not a pessimist but a realist. The world can change overnight. There is always that possibility, how probable, I don't know.
Incredible quote.

I hope to God this man is wrong.
Better stock up in that case. Ya wouldn't want to go hungry!
Not the end of the world, but a long hiatus in the ever-upward climb of our standard of living. An end, for as long as these people are in total power, of what we all have always assumed was our birthright: to work hard and keep the fruits of our labor and pass them on to our children. This is now *selfish* and *unpatriotic*. We are to give most of our earnings to idiots to hand over to entitled fools, minus the rake-off, in exchange for keeping the idiots in power forever.
I think there is fear because America as we have known her has changed almost beyond recognition. Our politicians are hell-bent on starving our economy of fuel, encouraging dependency, demonizing success, insisting on reeducating us away from religion and our traditions of free speech and the right to keep and bear arms as individuals. They are destroying our currency, our sovereignty, our basic values, our families, our businesses and the jobs they provide, and everything we have worked for that is the basis of our security. In the name of tolerance, Christians, Republicans, conservatives and anyone with any unencumbered assets or who owns any means of production is to be humiliated and threatened with everything from disenfranchisement to confiscation. If we complain, we are overreacting. If we fight back, we are mean-spirited. If we simply state our own ideology, we are ridiculed.
I am with you on the pragmatism and I believe that is what we are seeing in these sorts of articles and threads. Failure and nuttiness are causing the fear, not the other way around.
How can we forget zerO? He is our President. His party is in complete control of both houses of Congress. Within 4 years, he has a chance of changing the SCOTUS so that it is also under the control of progressives and the next stop on their agenda is the foundation of our nation: the Constitution. He is the anti-Lincoln, who will bring about a civil war to enslave the productive.
You are correct in that he ran on an advertising slogan. No one knows what it meant and the idea of undefined change when there was nothing much wrong with the basics of America, except the actions of some politicians, evokes well-founded anxiety in anyone with a brain.
Don’t forget that this is affecting the entire world. There is no one except ourselves to liberate us. The rest of the world blames us while demanding we help them and they celebrate the very political upheaval that is at the root of all the present problems. How nutty is that?
All political campaigns are advertising. Mac was selling the past, while O was selling a rather hazy vision of the future.
Durasell’s first rule of history: You don’t get to grow old and die in the same country you were born in. That was true for the Founding Fathers and every American generation since them. The problem isn’t with a changing country, it’s with Americans’ expectations of the future.

my SIL says this according to her inlaws that are Dukaboors in Canada...they make vegetarian soups using lots of butter and milk and veggies....they make it in huge quantities....then they can a lot of it....not that it will keep on a shelf, but they vacuum seal the jars just so the lids will seal....the soup will keep in the refrig. for several weeks.....
I hope we have enough soylent green.
Follow that “yellow brick road” ... aka ... B*ll S**t.
Is there any resource showing the amount of money a state pays in and what they get back (after the fed has filtered their grift)?
Buy some MREs because they are quite portable, but otherwise spend some money buying dry beans, rice, dried onions and seasonings. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have some basic protein in the house.
Buy some guns for your liberal neighbors to use when the time comes. Even liberals have a strong sense of survival. :)
