The last one, we debated something.
It nearly made a few people quit DU, a couple got banned.
What is going to happen this time, I wonder, because we are due.
I'm not being a chicken little, just someone that has observed DU, so it here it comes again.
This year I've got a wedding and a 1st year college student to pay for. Once that is behind me, my wife and I are going to spend every available cent to prepare for what's coming. I've been holding out long enough. Although yes I have in the past [some 4 years ago] gone out and stocked on food, which is all gone now but at least I had something stored up.
But now with soooo many signs taking place that point to so much more than most people realize, I'd rather be on the side of caution and preparedness than one who cares more about the iPhone6 and the latest viral video.
This time it's not only food but the essentials as well. Heed the warning signs folks....and lean on the side of prudence and not ignorance.
thanks for the kick

It's like, the USA hasn't been bombed yet, like some other countries have been bombed.
The USA is a winner in the international marketplace.
The USA is the only power that can drop bombs anywhere in the world, with impunity. If you don't like it then you'll be sanctioned, you shitheads!
The USA has a military oriented economy, which produces a gov't controlled commodity, military hardware, providing secure jobs in areas where military hardware is produced. It's largely paid for by taxes, a war budget that dwarfs the whole planet, a war budget that almost equals that of the rest of the world combined. This economy doesn't owe to a "free market", it owes to political decisions propelled by lobbyists who are now embarked on a $4billion smoke and mirrors show, which they call an "election".
The US arms industry is paid for by the US national debt.
Haliburton didn't win its obscene profits from a fair and free market, in a peaceful world of folk trading goods.
Not even close.
Internationally, US gov'ts haven't cared for democracy, as such, except for isolated cases like during the Carter administration. The US has mostly used the term 'democracy' as a charade, a self-glorification ("they hate us for our freedoms"
, even while overthrowing democratically elected gov'ts across the world and installing right-wing despots who march to their tune. Think Kissinger and Chile. Think Hillary Clinton and Honduras. What a picture that makes.
But this hasn't come home to the USA, yet.
The karma is still brewing.

sites that have anything about the September collapse. The stock market did a slight correction on Friday AND Bloomberg terminals went down for a bit, which is definitely interesting, but...
I would like to read information from some, at least semi-, legitimate sites - WND and Alex Jones and biblical sites don't hold water - especially if it is all predicated on gematria (Qaballah numerology reduction).
Yes, 2008 was definitely predicted years before hand and with the SF housing market, along with Vancouver BC's and other places, exploding price, along with all the stock buy-backs with the corporate sector (I understand that means that the BoD and exec's are manipulating the stock price when they buy it back), there are signs.
I've been looking for European economists talking about it but can't find any.

Now for the OP - if it happens again, soon, I think that people will be fed up and something could spark. When you have grandma moving in with the kids, people know in their hearts something is drastically wrong with the system.
Occupy didn't work because there was no one with enough balls/vagina to stand up and be the spokes model. I don't think following 25 y/o's is a good idea either because they do not have enough Life Experience, which is what you need if you want to start a revolution. Every time someone does stand up and speak they are swiftly marginalized to the point of never being heard from again.
Then we have TPP on deck - yee haw.
I hate to say that we'll have to wait to see what happens because by then it will probably be too late.
