Amen.
I don’t know what frightens me more - the evil that is descending upon us or the vast majority of people - even with all the information now available for everyone to find - that just haven’t a clue.
keep your stores a secret and not easily found - because they will come after it.
I hear you. I find that I’m more worried about the people who ignore the problem, because not only will they want a handout later, because they didn’t see it coming, but they tend to be the ones who have an entitlement mentality later. As I talked to a friend today, he asked if I thought things would get bad fast or slow. I told him I think they’re bad and will vacillate from bad to worse over and over, but that it’d probably be accurate to never experience a lifestyle that was prevalent in the last century. After WW2, most of the world’s manufacturing base was destroyed and the U.s. could sell anything, because someone was willing to buy. As other countries have developed infrastructure, they won’t be willing to trade their labor for our resources at such an unfavorable exchange rate.
We’ve been essentially subsidized by the Chinese through bailouts etc. I don’t see it happening again, and I think the people of the U.S. will have to learn to live within their means, which may be well below the level of their comfort. A domestic energy plan (drill here and build nuclear plants) would help, but people have to go back to old fashioned work, not a service society. At least, that’s what I believe to be the case.
