I'm an old Gen-X-er, USAF vet, and I know a bunch of younger people who are worth trusting with my life. <br /><br />Yes, your 401K and any investments are going to be worth the paper they are printed on, and not much more. SSI will pay off in digital "money", which will not be accepted by anyone who can refuse it. Your landlord will be forced to accept it, as will Safeway accept cash or EBT. If you want real food grown by Americans, you should bring Mercury Dimes. <br /><br />I'd have your blacksmithing, woodworking, reloading gear, but would prefer that you come with it. <br /><br />Dividing Americans is the main strategy of the powers that be. The most important group to divide is the Traditional White Middle Class. These people can save the nation and restore America-That-Was, if united. This can not be allowed to happen. <br /><br />Find some younger people and teach them what you know. They are young & strong, are aware of how F'd they are by the current regime. in 2002, an hour of minimum wage work bought 8 gallons of gas, now it buys 2 gallons. They ride bikes to work not because they want to save the Earth, but because it's better than walking or riding with the herd on mass transit. They've done as told, got degrees in useful things like law enforcement, leading to a minimum wage part time job with Securitas, guarding the playgrounds and homes of the elite. The only way out (inside the system) is to join the Army and take chances.<br /><br />Cheers.pdxr13https://www.blogger.com/profile/04663894695994248670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-52996975062580546732011-12-07T21:16:45.260-05:002011-12-07T21:16:45.260-05:00That's too good for me to add any content to.That's too good for me to add any content to.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-68973357697277839002011-12-07T18:56:04.135-05:002011-12-07T18:56:04.135-05:00Moose:

Hey SG...Its irony if you don't get the sarcasm.<br />Hey SGB its not if the glass is half full or half empty.<br />Its only important if it has beer in it or not.Moosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-87519776389649159532011-12-07T01:47:34.093-05:002011-12-07T01:47:34.093-05:00Not us Boomers. We'll go down beneath the claw...Not us Boomers. We'll go down beneath the clawed hands of the Gen-X and Gen-Y folks who blame us for the last fifty years of oligarchy that we didn't rise up and destroy somehow. Of course our magazines will be empty, the barrels hot and smoking, the dead piled up at our feet, Ka-bar snapped off in the skull of the next-to-last guy to reach us. <br /><br />Our 401ks will be gone, stolen by .gov, our food stocks used up or taken by FEMA, along with whatever is left of our ammo. The blacksmithing tools, reloading equipment, wood and metal working equipment will rust because they just don't hook up to the X-Box and WII (Wee?) controllers. <br /><br />No great loss. Besides, who can "Dance with the Stars" to classical music? My skills as an EMT, peace officer, registered nurse, helicopter pilot, stockman (draft horses and dairy goats) and all the rest will no longer be available, but that will be a small price to pay for ending all the pain I've caused by being born at the end of WWII and allowing government to roll over the top of all of the other folks who have tried so hard to stop it. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.<br /><br />Could someone explain to me the difference between irony and sarcasm? I tend to get them confused.RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-11276964032964727322011-12-06T23:06:13.003-05:002011-12-06T23:06:13.003-05:00I'm not saying that all hell isn't about t...I'm not saying that all hell isn't about to break loose, just that we'll weather the storm.<br /><br />But as you point out, there's nothing wrong with being prepared.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.com
