JMHO, but I honestly don't think the financial system will crash and burn. I don't discount the possibility though. I think the crash will take place, in fact as we speak it is happenning. The burn? I just don't think the powers holding an economic groip on the world will let it happen. I think they will inflate their way out of this mess and we'll be left with dollars worth less than the old Hong Kong dollar. The economy will eventually adapt and the business cycle will proceed. I'm thinking they should have left the business cycle go without any interventions. It seems the more they mess with it the worse the end consequences will become. That's not to say I'm not unaware of a crash and burn. We can and dehydrate our own grown foods. I heat with plentiful wood. May have to get a good horse for transportation but am not going that far for now. I can hand pump my well and good clean water is plentiful. I wouldn't want to do it, but I could live without energy if I had to. I am also prepared to defend with whatever means necessary my little corner of the world. That would be a biggie in an energyless collapsed society.
