Just damn.
The goldbug survivorman nutsos really come out on FR at night.
This glee at the thought of another great depression reminds me of the idiots who had a picnic at the first battle of Manassas.
It’s mostly folks too young or too old to have much of a stake in all this.
I’ve got kids to feed and put through school. I could afford to be a principled patriot if it were just me.
I do not have farming or hunting skills. Does that mean my children deserve to starve to death?
To hell with all of you who are cheering on the next depression. TO hell with you.
Lots of us have kids and grandkids - and we know how bad it can be... I don't think anyone here wants a depression. We also don't want to do a bailout that won't work longer than a year - at which point we'd have to do another bailout - only there won't be any money. I want you and your kids to be OK. I also want the people suckered into these loans to be OK. The people I'm not too concerned about are the multimillionaire who caused this mess.
Settle down, Warren.
When the stuff hits the fan, as you seem to be predicting, who's going to be the "nutsos"[sic]; The guy with 1000 cans of food in the basement and some firearms or the one weeping over the Ivy League college enrollment glossy with an empty belly?
You don't have "farming or hunting skills"?
Look alive, Skippy! Everything's on the web. Befriend a redneck. Do research and print out the good stuff before Google goes teats up.
Buy some stuff, LOT'S of stuff, with your fiat cash while you can. In the spring, take the little tykes who didn't qualify for Rutgers afield and practice shooting and hoeing.
When the venison tenderloins and bushels of tomatoes are safely stored in the Fall, CDO's and reverse default credit hedge swaps will seem like a distant nightmare. Happy hunting.
