I just hope the government collapses as well, before we become the NAU.

So have you ever thought of being a financial advisor? I'll set you a pretty good salary, paid in acid of course.

Ive had this feeling that sometime before i die im going to live in a survival type situation. I feel like my body and mind have been preparing for it for the last few years.
-------------------- Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time TRANSCEND

In a weird way I'd actually be kind of excited about it. I suppose thats very selfish, but it would bring some imediacy and adventure to my life if I had to struggle to survive.

I'm one of those that don't care. Oh no...people won't have money to buy shit they don't need how horrible! I think it will be a chance for people to get more real and appreciate the things they NEED to live.
-------------------- "If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley GIVE ME OPIATES OR GIVE ME DEATH

The problem with a total economic collapse is that those things you need to live cost outrageous amounts of money. Look into what has happened in Zimbabwe over the past decade, 100,000% inflation rates, >80% unemployment, starvation, ect. A recession is nothing all that terrible, a depression should be a huge concern but an economic collapse is totally devastating for everyone regardless their net worth.

Ya, I'm wishing the human race as a whole grows up and begins to think for itself, especially regarding the authority of government papa and religious mama. If it needs to learn the hard way, sigh, so be it. I will do what I can to endure and make friends along the way.

I'm not extremely worried but I know it's slowly dropping. It's suppose to be "The GREATEST Depression". It's going to effect everyone in a bad way. It'll be rough and pretty severe...but it'll be very interesting to see how we pull out of this one.
