TJ, thank you for the long response but I was hoping for a more concise answer - which in reality I also do not have one.

I am for the first time tending to think that best buy would be agricultural land (the last to be confiscated) so at least you can grow your own food, and yes the unthinkable things to protect yourself but this is more of a theoretical approach due to the human nature that we do not like uncertainty which is today plenty. When the unemployed and hungry will bang at your door what will you do?

It may be my age and my tiredness but I do not see the light at the end of a very long tunnel.

Based on the reactions in Greece US Italy and other country of young people that invested substantial resources of their lives in getting educated do not find work and are burden with piles of debt with no chance to get out of it.

In a way it is a new way of being a serf of modern times with little hope of a better life on a relative basis to your peers. What matter is what people feel and not that they have PC at home that a serf 200 - 300 years ago never had.

Seeing young capable and educated people camping out in a park in lower Manhattan under sow is a very depressing feeling.
