It's going to hit like a wrecking ball.
I don't work; I do odd jobs and hustle. And I've been feeling this engineered depression since it started. Y'know what? It's hurting. Too many people out of work-and you look for a niche(s) to fill but most people don't have money.
Now add in all the millions of fat, happy asshole sports fans, fat asshole neocon wannabes, douchebag granola and cum eating lefties... it will get hella ugly!
The only employer might be the government-if we don't go into total collapse, which would actually help because that would at least take down the beast. The worst case scenario is if the government can survive to totally communize this country. God knows we're about there cept for some entrepeneurs and outlaws-guess whose been targeted?
Preps, tools, training and alliances. And a long memory. Make your lists.
Have as many ways of making a living as you can. One sure way of battling hyperinflation or a lack of money is to use another form of currency-no reason why people who know and can rely on one another can't come up with their own script generated by work.
You will of course need a political shield for your free market activities so you might as well get going on taking over a small town politically like the returning GI's from Athens TN did in 1946.
