I'm pretty frightened out of my tiny mind about what is about to come down the pike.How are you preparing? Maybe your preparations can help me get prepared. Also how are you preparing for your pets?

Consolidate home and office, emergency generator, RO water purifier, some food in store, increase garden size and plant fruit trees. If things continue the way they are my family will take the concealed carry classes and learn about proper gun handling(hope I don't have to go this far). I am trying to make a spot in the house to accommodate other family members should an emergency arise. Until then I continue to call my representative, speak out and demonstrate against the war to try and get this ship turned around. As 'Dr, Phil' might ask, 'How's that workin' for you?'...not so good. Peace, Kim

People will be able to buy only enough food to keep themselves alive. The rest of the budget is going to go to servicing their debt. Eventually the debt will take over and they'll lose everything.Y'all are going to have to learn how to cook if you want to get through this one. Learning how to fix your clothes when they start to wear out is an added advantage, especially for kids. Kids will actually like the patches if you make them in interesting shapes. Face it, the rich have sold us their snake oil again and enough of us bought it that we're all going to get badly hurt. There is no way around it except to be as generous to each other as we can. Barter what you've got to offer and be generous to folks who are hurting so bad they have little to bargain with. We're all going to be in it together and it's going to be worldwide. There will be no place to outrun it.Not even the CEOs who bailed out on platinum parachutes and landed on Roatan Island are going to escape.

What the hell are these people talking about? Did I miss another disaster with dire consequences?Cindie
