"Only an IDIOT (or someone who’s broke and can’t get credit) would not be stocking up on EVERYTHING...now!! Personally, I’m out of things to buy...I can ride out about 5 years (other than food). It’s going to be a WILD ride down."

You should have been here in 1999 when so many Y2K nuts were "stocking up" for the collapse of civilization brought on by Y2K. I wonder how many of them are still choking down dehydrated beans.

It was tough back then...you had Clinton saying that everything would be just fine. I mean, what’s a person to think?

In this case we HAVE to crash...we simply cannot spend 10% more than we produce, year after year, without someone (maybe China) simply pulling the plug. Right now they cling to the notion that we are still (somehow) interested in paying it back...once they give up on us, Y2K fears will look like a walk in the park.

Ew. I wouldn’t want to get behind those folks. If you know what I mean (and I think you do).

Had some yesterday, as a matter of fact. ‘Stocking up’ does not make one an “nut”. Those who buy their groceries daily are the fools.
