Eat It Up Wear It Out Make It Do Or Do Without A favorite patriotic 1930's Great Depression motto used by people to pacify themselves when they had to forego necessities. A great read written before y2k but the lessons are there:"First banks became worthless.Then businesses and factories closed their doors one after the other when consumer buying came to a virtual standstill.Farm prices had dropped out of sight and jobs became nonexistent.There was no money flow.The structure of American society had disintergrated."

Rarebird:<real panic stage.. should hit by Labor day> Why do you think by then? GPS rollover breakdowns-receivers? Or, more of these kinds of stories finally getting to mainstream media, or what? It is fascinating to contemplate the trigger that will initiate the dwindling spiral! I believe that the trigger will be either: 1. bank runs in Japan and/or England, leading to bank runs here, probably around Nov, or 2. stock market bubble burst, probably Sept-Nov, or 3. terrorist attacks, used as the pretext for declaration of state of national emergency/federalizing national guard, and announcements of rationing, probably nov-15- dec 15. What is your opinion? It is reasonable to assume that many (hundreds?) state and local govts are also similiarly planning- but, of course, will not hit the news, except for the few cases where courageous people inside govt or investigative reporters will cause it to become known by various means.
