Re: what can I do to prepare for an economic depression?
Well Abe, having just awakened, well almost, something that immediately occurred to me, considering a most unfortunate earlier thread, would be to consider moving to Europe, perhaps Sweden or some such nation. A culture where they would be less likely to say "fuck him" its his own fault let him starve. Its called enlightened socialism.
Seriously though, have given a hell of a lot of thought to what is referred to as the "great depression" I find it almost surreal that although not a great deal in the natural world had actually changed during that time, with the exception of the dust bowl area, everything collapsed so bloody fast. Well not for everybody, some actually profited mightily during that time. As are many right now, while for others the depression already has arrived
In short: methinks that there is something very very artificial about our economic system. But then again my theories concerning economics are very unorthodox.
