To be perfectly honest...when the shit hits the fan...and the county is in ruins and people are fending for themselves...your "investments overseas" aren't gonna mean shit when there isn't enough food and water for our county. Violence exists....even in the most basic of cultures. It's part of the driving force of human nature. So when people are trying to steal my food and water...my big ass gun will put an end to that.
Completely short sighted. Because there are millions of people who will lose their savings and retirements as a result of another large economic catastrophe. I'm not worried about 5 years from now. I'm a young man. I'm worried about 30 years from now when I don't want to be living in my squander. This isn't... The Road... Or... Fallout... This is a modern great depression. Maybe you went to High School and read some books and you know that during this time there were people who still made a lot of money and did just fine.
Roughing the storm isn't all that big a deal. It is the rebuilding process that takes time and money once the storm is over. You can be on the right side of it all if you're smart. Or you can stay buried in your basement with your guns and your own paranoias.
I live in the real world sir.
NFW!!! Me too! What a coincidence... Huh? That both of us exist in the "real world." I have a feeling there will be several obvious statements to follow.
I'm not worried about my money because I'm not some greedy scumbag that perpetuates the typical American rhetoric of "money, money, money" I don't know what you think is going to happen when our country collapses but expect violence, looting, and burning whatever money you have left to stay warm. I survive. Period. Money isn't required for survival. And that's all we are going to be doing is surviving. You think once America collapses and all those awesome Caribbean countries supported mainly by European and American money is gonna hold onto yours when shit goes bad? And with a county in ruins how do you expect to access and spend your "investments"? You make no sense. And about the video? He is insane.
I'm just trying to protect myself and my family by providing them with the ability to attend college in 2050, or go on a long trip to Europe when my kids are in school, and all the other things possible desired. I hope only to protect the savings of myself and anyone with a head about them. If you have a savings... You should probably consider moving it off shore until the economy stabilizes. Switzerland. China. Belgium. Diversify, that's what they always say.
You don't understand what I'm talking about because you don't know a damn thing about real life, despite living in the real world, and in real life the ability to trade for goods is a standard humans have been adhering to for a long time, and will continue to do so. America isn't the whole world. They will move on. And my money isn't in the Caribbean.
So is it safe to assume you aced micro and macro Economics in college? Or would I be jumping the shark on that one?
I never said anything about a tent or a sleeping bag and differently not a shopping cart.
Ringa ding ding ding! Really? You didn't? Oh, I though I quoted that... oh, wait... I just made it up. Wow. Who've thought that you wouldn't share with us about your shopping cart. Still working on that wobbly wheel?
I'd post a face palm picture but that's too much effort.
What's dumbfounding is that you posted an audio tape onto a stoner forum that is an 1:16 long and expect everyone to jive and jump on your paranoia bangdwagon...sorry you thought you might change something by posting it.
Keep working on that telepathy man. You're getting better.
It could be audio. It could be a text document. And that'd be fine. But because it is both you have a problem? You're sitting around, typing on the forum, and it would be too hard to have the audio playing in the background? Really?
See... That's all I expected. I wasn't looking for fan fare. I saw this, I wanted to share it, and discuss it.
Up to this point I haven't been able to discuss the thing with someone who'd seen it. Simply people who are sooo arrogantly closed minded that they not only choose to opt out they also feel the self-important need to declare their independent superiority for no other reason than to posture and conflict.
And if you were even remotely more arrogant you could have written all that in a foreign language too. Just for posterity.
It may as well have been. You're obviously not winning any reading comprehension medals around here.
