What's mindfuckingly frustrating is that EVERYONE (but the rich ass financial types) see it coming. And there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WE CAN DO to prevent or prepare for it.

And there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WE CAN DO to prevent or prepare for it.

sure there is.

  • get a years supply of shelf stable food, preferably things with a decade long shelf life
  • start a garden and fill it with staple foods that are nutritional and abundant
  • install a solar system, no matter how big or small
  • collect barter goods like alcohol, fabric, paper, hand tools, entertainment media, books, etc
  • learn trade skills that can land you a job in a jobless market

these are just five things you can do now before the bust.
