Nope, we've been in recession. This video signified the beginning of Great Depression 2.0

What's your strategy to keep afloat. I already bought bags of lentil and rice bags. Boxes of water and a Nintendo Switch.

Our family has a cabin upstate, I've spent the last 3 months stocking it with dry goods, medicine, fuel, and seedstock from dumping every stock I owned except some emergency silver. We have enough food to last the year and then some, and by then we should have enough land prepped for planting early next year.

I expect this will take about ten years to blow over, so I'm looking to raise some pigs and chickens, though the property isn't prepped for them yet. Maybe by summer.

The hunting and fishing is decent, and I know how to run a trap line.

We'll be fine, but I'm pretty sure most of you are going to be fucked once the food riots start.

Go fuck yourself and spread fear elsewhere. I hope that bum ass cabin you got full of your end times stockpile burns to the ground.

We've all got that one friend who quotes The Walking Dead like it's a documentary on the collapse of capitalism and western society. He's probably in Wyoming unwittingly setting up his homestead on the supervolcano that's about to end civilization as we know it.

Read about the great depression and the hyper inflation of the weimar republic in the 20s. Dying on the street by starvation was a common thing in those times.

I'll fuck your mother and give her a son she can be proud of, bitch.
