not being an economist,but a simple sailor i can only correct your previous post,and since this is thread drift,and not a political forum i think it is best left at that!

Thanks. That was my point exactly but was too knackered to pursue it - LOL

Of course it was somewhat tongue in cheeck.

My solution to any SHTF or end of the world scenario is to open my gun safe, pour a big stiff drink or 3 and sit in my big easy chair and wait for the end! No fuss, no muss because it is all beyond what any of us can do about it!
Might as well go out feelin’ good and without a care in the world...

Nope. The second one was dropped three days later because the Japanese did not immediately surrender. A "renaissance man" does homework.

Being able to survive several months in isolation would actually be a huge advantage if this occurs.

I may need to change my user name. Soothsayer Lass has a nice ring to it .

Unfortunately, something like this was bound to happen at some stage. It was just a matter of time. We are very, very lucky it was not worse.

Yep.

People have been talking about this sort of event for years, decades, etc.

Once upon a time, I was trained at one of my jobs on how to fit an N95 mask. Training included a hood and a substance that stunk real bad. This was in the early 2000s when The Swine Flu was the big concern.

The Swine Flu did hit but it was not deadly however it sure spread fast. We were at Disney World with the kids in the midst of the epidemic/pandemic. Everyone in the family got the Swine Flu and got it fast, except the wife, who just happened to be on an anti viral medicine.

You would be perfectly fine, then within an hour or so, the Swine Flu would hit and hit hard. When the first kid got it, we thought the child was just tired, and sat down under the People Mover in Tomorrow Land to take a rest. The kid started coughing. It was a very specific cough. Very different. I could hear that same cough all around us in the crowd...

The flue would hit quickly, kick your a.... for a day, and then be gone, leaving one very tired and worn out. Thankfully, it was not deadly but it sure spread fast.

Later,
Dan

I didn’t buy into it until I was targeted by the alphabet guys for gang stalking, probably after researching the reptilians. Glaxar (from the pleadies system) told me while examining my “starfish” (why are they so obsessed?) soon they would arrive. Glaxar also boasted the cloud seeding was going well, lots of sheeple have been created. Anyway, After glaxar zipped their pants having finished the exam w my probing told me how to protect my thoughts from the black helicopters with a nice tinfoil hat.
I hide out on my boat with massive amounts of ammo and guns, knowing the SHTF any day now. We all know from past experience, “They will come for our guns any day now”.

Nope, not kooky, or paranoid, purely rational thought process.

You’ve been misinformed.
Those tin foil hats are, actually, antennas, propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC, which Actually Make it Easier for the Government to Track [or maybe control] Your Thoughts.
They are, however, effective rain blockers, and can camouflage a bad hair event.

A sovereign paper currency can’t “ run out of cash “, excessive use causes inflation but it doesn’t cause it to” run out “

European banks via the ECB have access to as much money as the ECB decides at any one time

Nothing to do with cash flow.

That certainly makes sense. While sailing The Cunnilinga, no matter where I went, there “They” were. “They” also plant crazy desires into your mind and make me say things I might regret later….

I was thinking to invest in brown sails.
I dunno. Totally lost here I guess.

"excessive use causes inflation"...did you mean excessive supply of money?

Fiat currencies rely on public confidence to retain their value since they are not redeemable for precious metals (which have more or less perpetual and constant values throughout history). When the supply of fiat currency is over-inflated or the public lose confidence the jig is up, in hours.

And that is why those who control the money supply control the world; at least for as long as the world chooses through ignorance, fear or apathy to tolerate their control.

What's been worrying me lately isn't just that people were warning about a plague forever, it's the list of other things scientists have been warning about for just as long. From the obvious economic political bickering you can see in this thread, to that meteorite we just couldn't see until too late. Who knows when someone might walk off with one of Pakistan's nukes, or North Korea realizes they have everything they need to make a corona virus, that's WAY more deadly, but only to non-oriental populations.

Human technology has vastly surpassed our sociology, and is yet far too feeble to keep us safe. Even the very benign discoveries of aging treatment or prosthetic interfaces, could easily break the world economy and cause massive wars.

Syria has a draught, which causes farmers to go bankrupt, which sends them to the cities for jobs. Unemployment and homelessness skyrockets, leading to mass unrest and civil war. Which causes mass exodus from the country, destabilizing the entire EU, shifting political stances across the continent, and ends up with the UK leaving the EU.

That's about 1% of the projected damage from climate change over the next century.

So what else have we been warned about for decades?
