And the fact that we seem to be alternately twiddling our thumbs and sticking our fingers in our ears and going LA LA LA about the threat they pose.<br /><br />Because if SHTF, I could probably grow and hunt enough food, but I can't do that in a burqa.<br /><br />I once said the one time I'd condone suicide would be in a clear case of serious, terminal illness, where the person's condition was clearly getting worse and they would lose the ability to do for themselves. I now include "In a situation where the choice is dying at your own hand is preferable to a slow beheading by some extremist's knife."rickihttp://ranting-ricki.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-79295676251743540442014-08-28T22:31:02.047-05:002014-08-28T22:31:02.047-05:00If it is any consolation these two "annalists...If it is any consolation these two "annalists" are professional short-sellers, they make money when the market goes down.<br /><br />Yes world financial markets are in a bad way, but frightfully we're still a better bet than most of the rest of the world.<br /><br />I'm of the opinion that people need to be prepared for the world to <b>not</b> end as well.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710666926746925370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-53561068036931226142014-08-28T19:22:18.746-05:002014-08-28T19:22:18.746-05:00Just to your south a ways is His Wiser Angel from ...Just to your south a ways is His Wiser Angel from The Lonely Libertarian blog, and to your north is Odysseus, and me, and TinCan Assassin for at least the time being. There are a couple of others in between, too. If the fit hits the shan, you won't be on your own, and it won't be hard to find your tribe (bloggers who think as you do). We're kinda spread out all over the place.<br /><br />Besides that...when the market bottoms out is the best time to buy, because I cannot imagine things staying in the shitter and the government we have actually surviving the outrage of one or two hundred million retirement plans going tits-up. Have a good solid reserve of real, honest-to-God silver or gold.

We have substantially less debt and also less disposable income now than what we had back then.

It goes on and on and on... We work like slaves to keep up and pay for houses we'll never own and vehicles that'll shit the bed on us right before we get them paid off. But hey, at least once it's finally on and poppin', I'll get a chance to get my loot on for some of the shit I'll never be able to afford as a working man.
