"Will code HTML for food"

Everyone is riveted to their own respective news funnels, searching in vain for clues or semblance of understanding related to the current financial shenanigans going down. Some act as if it’s just a phase, merely our taste of a 21st century depression on the horizon. We’ll bounce back!

In a thinking globally and acting locally perspective, we’re scratchin’ our noggins over oil afar, whilst scrambling to the pumps to choke off the immediate supply and cause shortages, and wondering about the constant fluctuations and skyrocketing prices. Now, the figure 700 billion keeps getting beaten into our brains. Failing, distressing, panic…

Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.

By the by, “us poor taxpayers” are gonna get the shaft in bailing out the moguls and myopic Wall Street Ninjas with that 700 billion dollars of our money. Folks, let’s not pretend- we’re all broke here. The moguls, the gub’mint, and yes dear taxpayer, probably you too.

For too long, we’ve been addicts of debt, and truth be told, it is not our beloved tax money that will supposedly be applied to delay this upcoming pain, rather it’s really foreign interests like China who will actually be bailing us out to lessen the slide in their immense holdings of our increasingly sickly greenback.

If you are interested in this position, or would otherwise like to study a take on the situation which doesn’t come from a talking head, take a gander at what Dimtry Orlov has to say on America’s collapse situation.

He saw Russia’s financial collapse firsthand, and sees many similarities in our own demise- sure Russia had state-sponsored machines that kept limping along post-Glastnost, and we don’t have those here in the good ol US of A, but doesn’t that just mean we’re gonna have a rougher time, y’all?

It’s gonna get rowdy quite robustly and sooner than you might think, whether or not you believe a shred of what this here old Russky has to say on the matter.

What in the hell to do?

Start by getting your loved ones and like-minded folk together and begin to make plans. You might also want to forget about pouring significant energies into high-tech crap which requires electricity, and learn a skill your great great grandpa or grandma would have had. Think it through and take it slow, but most of all, like our dear old Douglas Adams advised, in his excellent guide to hitchhikers galaxy-wide:

DON’T PANIC!
