Ok, well, I didn't say this was a perfect plan. Sorry. I think there will be "survivors" in the U.S., regardless of the outcome. The basics (food, clothing, housing, heat, electricity, transportation, etc.) will still be needed by whoever is left.
Who is going to frequent your business, buy your products, employ your services, etc? It is a domino effect.
True. I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I just have a bad feeling. With the power of the internet (& telecom), many middle-class desk jobs can be done anywhere in the world.
My assumption is that the middle-class (like me!) will be decimated. That may well leave the rich folks who employ third-world people to do work to sell to the rest of the world. I don't know.
But anyway, yeah, I don't know. These threads scare the crap outta me. I am planning on starting school in August to work toward my masters and I am really starting to question if I should.
After I got raked over the coals at the aesthitician's office Monday, I am seriously thinking of taking the six months of classes and getting licensed to do that. I figure, if nothing else, it can't be outsourced, I can make friends in the field and have the services done for free and get the products really cheap.
I am just not sure who's going to be around to afford these kind of purely indulgent services...
