I mean, what's it to you if someone else invests in survival equipment while you're instead investing in My Little Pony dolls?b,121b,121Seriously, if the extent of your whining about the economy is that you'll be able to take one less vacation next year...sorry, but there are plenty of other people who will instead be figuring out how to keep fed and healthy. b,121b,121h,121
font class="post"1b,121b,121I think it's sensible to be prepared for a natural disaster but if you're talking about a doomsday scenario in terms of complete gov't infrastructural collapse, I don't see any evidence that such an event is on the horizon. b,121b,121Sure, it's not a great economy right now - unemployment is over 6% for the first time in years - but it's not like we're back in the 1930s. We're not even in the late '70s yet. And just because Wall St. fucked up isn't threatening to collapse the entire financial system. b,121b,121h,121font class="post"1b,121b,121I guess some still don't understand how much of a fraud our system of banking has been for the longest. It's not just a patch job that's going to just fix it up and have us back on our way. In truth, it's the con that has kept us afloat as all of our tangible industries have been exported over the past 3 decades. And since it is finally nothing more than a con revealed, the ramifications of its collapse simply cannot be underestimated. b,121b,121Get set for hyperinflation as the feds continue to throw worthless overprinted money at their problems. And again, when the facade of eternal success fades...we don't have much to fall back on. Oh yeah, we've got our weapons. So plaese do make sure to vote for McBama so that there will be no interruption in our sparking conflicts with countries including Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc. b,121b, 21YEEHAW!

But sometimes there are actual answers out there that transcend just pulling a lever in a magic ballot booth.

font class="post"1b,121b,121For anyone in a similar boat start studying up on getting your unemployment. I'm sure it varies from state to state but in California it takes about 3 or 4 weeks before you get your first check.
