I saw this yesterday

But had to digest it for a little while.  Hell is on the way.  We are rushing towards an economic collapse the like of which we haven't seen.  Not "we haven't seen since the great depression", but that we simply have not seen before.  States have maxed out their credit cards.  The Feds are doing the same.  The government is taking all the wrong steps and killing our economy before it has a chance to recover.  Small businesses are running scared.  When White Castle is saying that Obamacare is going to eat up 55% of their income, what does that mean for them?  Shutting down.  Do you know how many people White Castle employs?  Now multiply that by millions as business after business shuts down or lays people off due to over regulation and taxation.

I at least have skills that I can barter.  Lots of other people don't.  If you can't pay for electricity, you don't need someone to fix your computer.  If you get all your food from a box, bag, or can, what are you going to do when the trucks stop delivering those items to your local store?  This country can't even handle taking care of itself for three damn days.  You think I'm kidding?  Look at New Orleans after Katrina.  One day is all they lasted before the hysterics started.

Of course, there are parts of this country who's mentality better prepares them to survive.  But it ain't in the big cities, folks.  What's going to happen when the supermarket doesn't have anything left on it's shelves?

Hell is coming.  If that Doug Ross piece doesn't scare you, then go read the Eternity Road piece I linked to yesterday, and then go read his newest one as well.  Life is going to get real sucky.  How long it sucks depends on us.  If we can remove that pseudo-American from the Oval Office and repeal the damage he's inflicted, then it might not be as bad as advertised.  But if we can't, well.....

Stock up on ammo.
