He was bony and thin, an arrogant elf
And I cringed when I saw him....and prayed for myself
With a wink and a nod to the slavering press
He took off for Hawaii to stick us with the mess

If and when the world economy collapses, which appears inevitable, the only ones who will survive are those with enough land to grow their own food and enough weapons to protect their land and families. Anarchy can happen very quickly when panic sets in. We’re already seeing glimpses of it in Europe and Argentina. Those who believe America will be immune from such disruptions are in denial. A depression of the magnitude of the 1930s would be 10 times as devastating because of the increase in urban populations and the fact that most people lack basic survival skills. America and Canada barely survived the Depresssion, at a time when most people still lived in smaller communities and could grow their own vegetables and hunt or fish to supplement their family diet. America now has tens of millions of people who don’t even have basic cooking skills and who depend on fast food and frozen dinners.
We all saw how quickly civil order broke down in New Orleans because of an isolated crisis. Imagine a similar level of crisis across the US. Imagine what it would be like in Chicago, LA, New York, Detroit, etc., after the looters cleaned out all the stores. FEMA can’t even supply basics in the midst of an isolated crisis in one area of America, it would have no way to support desperate populations in every city. Once the food runs out, you’ll have bands of desperate people roaming into the countryside in search of food.
“’TWAS THE NIGHT HE STOLE CHRISTMAS
He was bony and thin, an arrogant elf
And I cringed when I saw him....and prayed for myself
With a wink and a nod to the slavering press
He took off for Hawaii to stick us with the mess”
Very good. A horrible apparition.
