We will. Like a Third World nation. Cattle, lumber, hides and foodstuffs.
Woke up very early this AM with a nightmare that the meteor story is TRUE. Don’t know if it’s 2012 or when, but the rising price of food and oil along with hoarding by governments is EXACTLY what I would expect if a meteor strike were imminent.
If we had real leaders they would be drafting everyone to construct shelters, slaughtering most livestock, planting every field fencerow to fencerow, and storing every necessity to keep the maximum number of people alive for years in the shelters.
Am I paranoid or is something really up? My gut tells me something could be afoot.
It’s always a good time to prepare. I hope my fellow Freepers are doing so.
BTW, when I was an aerospace engineer I actually was involved in a study of the effects of a major, Extinction Level Event (ELE). Humans CAN survive, but they must have provisions sufficient to stay in underground shelters for YEARS.
First, the shelter must be built to survive earthquakes of incredible magnitude since the shockwaves will ring this planet like a bell. Military style log or concrete bunkers under 20’ of earth will survive such shockwaves.
They will require a way to filter and COOL the air supply (pumping air through wellwater can do both) because an ELE will heat the atmosphere to at least several hundred degrees. Later, it will get very cold as the dust and smoke block out Solar heat.
Would our leaders really stock shelters for the elite while keeping the peasants in the dark to avoid panic?
