Are you prepared for a near total economic collapse?

    Get depressed. However, my business is pretty much impervious to such events.

      Look into self help books on saving money, that is what the clever ones did during the 1930 depression.

      They sold them for virtually nothing, and made a bomb out of it!

      You know, even the multibillion dollar international companies that have been through so much, and that so many feel are so great and immune suffered, HECK, even COKE and PEPSI once almost went bankrupt! PEPSI tried to sell the company to COKE, which declined, and COKE would have been in trouble if the US military didn't buy their product in WWII. And what of Disney? Their per sale profit on each piece has probably dropped a LOT, and what if a major depression hits? I could see a number of ways Disney could be hurt. It is said that they get more business during depressions, but they are going more and more upscale, and there are more and more options.

      As for dollars? Look at Germany between WWI and WWII! Look at various places in Hispanic countries, and Africa! As for Silver? Look at the world a bit prior to WWI. Gold? Well, kind of the same thing.

      And depressions don't really hit the US, but the world. Things are just too interconnected.

    It is entirely possible that it's already underway.

    Anyone been a subscriber to the blogs of Michael Snyder..The Economic Collapse, End of the American Dream...? I used to frequent there all the time, but even though he's a good writer, it's always too depressing to linger around.


    He's got a book out Beginning of the End, and another one, that is a prepper's blueprint. I am seriously thinking I could identify with this subculture.
