the stock market is slowly collapsing, and as it does we are watching our futures

fade away, my life savings was stored there and what of SS, it will be a husk

1. Sickening

2. SS is backed by the feds not the stock market nt

6. The Federal government is collapsing to an extent too.

While I think SS as we know it is safe, if things get bad enough, it will be cut too. Now, if that happens, we’ll all be in a similar boat and rents, mortgages, etc., will see adjustments.

Most importantly, we need someone directing those decisions that cares about people first, but also looks for long-term solutions. We don’t have that now.

Not really intending to debate you. SS is relatively safe, but only if things don’t totally collapse.

3. in 12 months all will be good

4. Just wait until the currency crisis.

It’s coming soon.

You can’t float this much debt and not have one.

[Happy Hoosier]

5. I dunno...

I think it’s possible that just printing the money at the fed is the way to go. With everything shut down, it won’t be inflationary.

7. "slowly"? 1k per day!!!

8. Hang in there--

We came back from the last global crisis in 2008. Of course, then we had President O to pull us back from the brink.

Now we'll have VP Biden (as President this time!). We have got to stop saddling our Democratic presidents with the mess the GOP leaves!

Imagine how good we'd have it if we had two Dems in a row (still furious about Secy Clinton not getting a chance-- just imagine how well she would have handled this).

9. I guess we'll go back to bartering.

Trade ya a 57 Chevy hubcap for that sack of beans.

This is what we get for allowing ourselves to become totally enamored to the stock market, the gambling and whore house it is.

Wall Street and Republicans did this to us by making it impossible to make gains from bank savings and CDs, and everyone took flight to stocks and mutual funds and became overnight market experts. They also made trading as easy as buying bubble gum. After that the public refused to criticize the rigged system because we became the system but in the far, far back seat.

But as they've consistently said, the market always comes back. We just may not live long enough to see it.

Not making light of your loss because I've been burned bad before too (90s tech crash).

10. My daughter didn't want to go out yesterday

Offered her neighbor some TP for Tylenol.

I can see Brinks trucks stuffed full of it now (with armed guards)........
