User ID: 83436424 United States 10/16/2022 04:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think so. Most people I talk to are in shell shock with the price of everything. Quoting: ElleMira My husband and I have cut back significantly. We have no choice. Home repairs popped up, our son needed some money to get by, etc. We ate out for the first time in months and only because we had a gift certificate - which didn't cover 2 burgers, fries and a beer. A splurge for us is to drive somewhere nice, go for a hike and have a picnic with sandwiches I've prepared from home. Even that is scaled back due to the cost of gas. We saved for retirement but the market is shite and who knows what it will look like next year. My good friend, who has three younger children, is panicked. The cost to heat his home this winter has him terrified. Not to mention all other inflated prices, food, gas and forget cars. Not good. I hear you. I know so many people that are going through heavy stuff right now. I don't even like to complain about my bs because compared to many, it's so trivial what I'm dealing with. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79062454 How awesome would be to find a woman like this woman then force her to be a slave while also taking her preps? She could make you bread out of acorns. 99.9% of women are worthless but she is valuable enough to to give her slave rations while also deserving of a strong male protector. This is actually a huge compliment to this woman that I would keep her alive and protect her. A woman like that is likely to bide her time and find a way to take you out. It just takes a monent in time. One second, 2 at the most. You may lock her up while you're sleeping but you will need eyes all around your head every moment you are in proximity to each other.I hope in such a scenario, someone does put you down, like a parasitic psychotic cockroach that you are, deserves. I agree she is nuts and is a wild card but I would fuck the crazy out of her. If she took me out all she would have left is her acorn bread. She is smarter than that. What we have here is 1)keyboard romeo/lothario/love machine 2)natural born killer of the keyboard3) great white hunter of cyber beaver But I think it is just a bunch of bullshit Nah, I am the real McCoy. Got food stocked up and supplies. I will be offering cans of soup in exchange for blowjobs. If I come across a woman who has survival skills I will keep her around. I want me some of that Acorn bread almost as much as Jerry Jones wants some glory hole |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16990866 United States 10/16/2022 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think with a full scale collapse like we have never seen before in modern recorded history would wipe out most of the Population within the 1st few months from starvation disease and violence,…etc. the roving marauders and looters would be downsized greatly and much weaker by the 2nd quarter 4-6 month time frame imho. People will have to eventually cooperate to rebuild a semblance of a society if we went full Mad-Max in a collapse. I don’t under estimate what people that are desperate will do,… Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84077129 Dont forget about the complete cut off of 'meds'- for heart patients, diabetics, cancer, psych, etc... 1 in 4 americans takes at least one prescription med daily. ALL that shit is made abroad. And 'regular' drug addicts - coffee, alcohol, sugar, street drugs... There will be complete chaos within 72 hours. seems to have been missed. people will not do well. especially 'sick'/dependent ones, which is the MAJORITY of Americans, and thus their families, neighbors, and those around them they will attempt to prey on. Trust should really be put in God and Jesus. They can show you what you need to do. And if you die there is always the resurrection of the dead Jesus promises. So death is not to be feared. I'm not condemning anyone. It's not the elites, me, govt, celebrities, etc destroying the lives of the masses. It's. . Are you ready? The fucking masses! Nobody wants to kill them they willingly buy poison to eat, indebted themselves, kill and hurt eachother All people like us are doing is standing on the side of nature. We care more about the planet than the sheeple who is willingly committing Mass genocide collectively THEMSELVES. Im fact the only reason the system hasn't fall completely yet is because we are giving you extra time! If we don't do it this way you can expect the sheeple to kill eachother brutality like the dark ages. But you know how we keep you from dying sooner? We keep you addicted to your desires so that you won't act it out on others. We give you entertainment, music, porn, nice homes, shoes, cars, etc etc etc All to keep you from hurting others and the planet. It works. But wait till it all ends and you have to withdraw from your addictions. You will think you're in hell. Give up your current addictions now if you think I am wrong. Show your true nature without all the comfort that WE give you. You will either go into a depression, unhappy, miserable to a point you will probably act out ur sickest desires. And we can't have that so we got you in shackles. Tell you what.. if you can drop all your addictions and try to live according to nature. I offer you or anyone else reading this to come to the other side. Join us but show us first you can be good men without the benefits of society what has been given to you. The choice is yours. Sheeple or Freedom from your slavery. You show me you desire freedom with a burning desire then I will send you a key to the great reset how you or anyone interested can turn a simple $100 into life changing money by getting in the very beginning of the new monetary system being developed that every bank is currently moving their assets into as a safety storage that will skyrocket ones the paper dollar goes to 0. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76046256 It is called a real recession. Kind of like in the 70's and 80's, not like the recent ones where ultra-low interest rates were used to paper things over. Everyone survived then, most everyone will survive now. Just hard-times, most you have never seen what that really is. The rest of your hypothesis is just silly fear mongering. |

I didn't know how to pressure can, I took a class. I don't know about the foraging locally from weeds (I moved as an adult) I read books. We're preparing by obtaining knowledge in gaps we had. Taking steps to eat with as little waste as possible will either get me through a collapse...or it will pay off the few debts I do have. I make clothes, it is both using a resource I have (fabric) and entertainment but I have clothes at the end of it I am not spending more money on. I'm not going to worry about what will come, or not come. I refuse to live in fear. I'll be okay end of whatever road we're on, but I'm not going to be afraid of the trip. |

American life is filled with hurrying: to help the baby, to feed them breakfast, to start a load of wash, to drop off baby, to get to work, to pick up child, to grab a few things at the grocery store, to cook supper, to transfer the laundry. to walk the dog,... Our lives are scheduled for every minute. In order to understand what is going on, it's necessary to have time to think, first about small, quick observations; then to read; study/research/confirm.

This has caused me to not have to pay all this interest rate that a lot of people have now. if you have to pay $100 in interest a month, theres a lot of other things we could do with that money, rather than just let the credit card company have it. The best way to survive is to pay that debt off as quick as possible. Look up "snowball" way of paying down your debt. it is mentally better than "paying the highest interest down first". I am hearing on the news that people are having to decide whether to pay the electric bill or buy groceries or medicine. i dont have that. i dont know why people cannot do all of them, why they have to choose? maybe they dont make much money or they waste money on interest or maybe they need to stop buying stuff. i am going to just deal with it as it comes and not fret. worrying wont help. |
