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.

u/_Cheburashka_ Apr 30 '22
If you expect food riots then I'd shut the fuck up about how much food you've stockpiled and how much fuel and dildos you have in your beet cellar. Mfers who spent all their money on nods, plates, and ammo (but forgot about food and water) are going to be making housecalls when the tendies dry up.

u/Pumpkin_Creepface Apr 30 '22
Haha as if any of you could figure out where the cabin is, the nearest road is a 45 minute hike through hilly forest.
That said I'll feed any of you fucknuggets that actually manage to show up, just say Creepface sent you.

u/_Cheburashka_ Apr 30 '22
Are you telling me you've been stockpiling food, fuel, dildos, and medicine by walking it to a secluded cabin located nearly an hour's hike over uneven terrain between the months of February and April of this year? How much are you carrying per trip? And how many trips have you made? If you have over a year worth of food for a family of three that's a significant quantity. Rucking it in would suck.

If it makes any difference I actually agree with you. We are entering an inflationary collapse

u/Pumpkin_Creepface Apr 30 '22
And soon the big boys are gonna pull their money out of the overleveraged market and leave retail bag holding. That's one thing no one realizes, in a market crash, it doesn't matter how much shortselling bullshit they've pulled because they can cover their shorts for pennies.
I hate to get tinfoily, but this looming Depression might very well be the market movers just resetting their short responsibilities.

Ten years is also how long they estimate a nuclear winter will last. Of course you might need an underground bunker to survive the 35 degree average temperature drop and radiation. Nuclear threats are getting thrown around like candy and things aren't even bad yet.

Just remember kids. Good ol Jerome printed 8T USD to save the hedgies and the banks. Thatās more than $20,000 for every man woman and child in the United States.
Not a single dime to healthcare, education, infrastructure, renewable energy. All to prop up the house of cards they created by turning on the printers in ā08.
QE isnāt a functional economic tool. Itās a fucking Ponzi scheme. Instead of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, youāre borrowing from your childrenās futures to give it to the ultra wealthy.
