A little food for thought. Economic doom seems to be the popular theme now anyway. The author lived through the collapse of Argentina's economy that started in 1999. He outlines what worked well for him and what he would do different. It's a long read with four parts.

Good advice.

Something to think about when listening to Bubba McRambo spout off about his imaginary Red Dawn/SHTF scenarios.

A lot of it would apply to preparing for natural disasters. Having extra food, water, medication, batteries, etc. isn't specific to economic meltdowns.

To anyone who has ever lived in a big city.... this is not a surprise.



What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common?



Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961;

Buffalo , NY (2nd) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1954;


Cincinnati, OH (3rd)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1984;


Cleveland, OH (4th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1989;


Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor;


St. Louis, MO (6th)....hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1949;


El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor;


Milwaukee, WI (8th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1908;


Philadelphia, PA (9th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1952;


Newark, NJ(10th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1907.


Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'


It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats --- yet are still
disadvantaged.

_____

Opinion: The Disadvantaged remain disadvantaged because they are looking for a Liberal Democratic Government to give them something, when all they have to do is work for it. (How can a person be 5th Generation disadvantaged in this Country?) Who pays?

Kevin, there is a difference between being disadvantaged and liking it.
Unfortunately, when you open the door, the snakes come in. The intent starts out good, but.....you know.

BTW, thumbs up to your sig line.

Thankfully I have a rifle with a setting for SHTF, just in case.


Just call before you come over.
