You’re the most amazing example of survival I’ve ever known!

“...The Fed may have backed itself into a corner. They should have absolutely raised rates six months ago,” adding it’s difficult now because of global concerns.”

I’m sure there will be new levels of crime with it.

Of course it won’t matter at that point. Everyone who takes the Mark of the Beast is doomed already via Revelation chapter 14.

My guess is, they will “prosper” by helping to hunt down and turn in those who don’t have and refused the Mark of the Beast. It will be the betrayal of Nazi Germany turning family member against even family member (also prophesied in the Gospels). Nazi Germany on super-steroids.

I don’t think they could have done it then, either. Continued raising would not have worked after that and lowering again would show them directly responsible for the setback and any confidence would have been erased.

They have never had anywhere to go after 2008. And making sure that less Americans are working, has them short-circuiting their own lifelines.

When the music stops, I think they’ll only have “electronic cash” to offer. This will be their final “monetary” medium. Shoot, most of it already is.

People living on $2 per person per day still spend a surprising amount of that money on coffee, tea, beer, and other "luxury" goods.

Would you expand on this please?

Kind of ridiculous to think everyone turns into murderous idiots as soon as government goes away.

In times of a disruption of civil society, I'll go with Selco's views that you don't really know people the way you thought you did. I don't walk around all paranoid, but there are a fair amount of people that don't do harm to others because they'd get in trouble, not because of morality.
