Things are getting worse and worse. How worse can they be before it all breaks down?
What if things never crash?
What if more and more systems just get replaced with new systems?
Until none of the old system exists anymore.
Or maybe not, the whole house of cards comes crashing down.
Change is hard
One way of change is for everything to burn to the ground, and then the Hawaiian congress decides they are going to just buy it... wait, that was just a conspiracy theory...
One way of changes is for everything to be smashed, pulverized, burned, laid bare... and then, the only thing that can happen after is to rebuild. Of course this does not mean that the new thing will be better than the old, or that any problem will get fixed.
Another way of change is for an idea so good to come along, and then everyone decides to just change to it. This rarely happens... just look at bitcoin. Even with banks randomly closing people's bank accounts, adoption seems so slow.
What usually happens is that a new idea catches some fire and grows, and grows, and then at some point, the old system crumbles to the ground allowing the new one to take over.
Change is hard. And most people do not want to get involved.
But life has a way of making people involved.
How far will we collapse?
This is the big question for preppers.
If the only thing that happened was the financial system collapsed, the we all switch to bitcoin, and carry on.
If the electrical grid gets blasted and then Obomba hits the internet kill switch, and saboteurs destroy all the infrastructure, then you are not going to want bitcoin, you are going to want lead. And maybe gold.
How far down before we stabilize?
And how far down is that for you? If you are a subsistence farmer in a third world country, then you might not even notice. But if you are welfare queen relying on Wallymart and EBT, your life will change drastically.
I don't care for the garbage at Wallymart, however we get most of our bolts and hardware from China, so if shipping ceases, its going to be a long hard road to reindustrialize.
Or maybe something completely different will happen.
The govern-cements collapse, and free trade begins... however, there will be a giant hickup in the system.
So, how far will we fall, and how long will it last?
These are the postulations of a prepper.
Change is coming
BigPharma, BigAg, BigBanking are all going to crumble to dust.
Govern-cement is going to radically change. We are going to ban all Narcissists from holding office.
We are going to develop radical new ways of medical treatment and go back to using old salves.
Factory farms are toast. The soil is mined out. People are going to learn to grow bigger, more abundant crops.
Banking is going to implode. Block chain is taking over all aspects of finance. Get that Wall St. building you have always wanted for cheap.
This is what is coming, but what happens in between?
We know the mother WEFers want to crash the banking system and install their new banking system.
But what they do not realize is that there is more than one alternative, and how powerful that alternative is.
So, those mother WEFers are playing right into the good guy's hands. (it is not exactly that there are a group of good guys working on this, and they are going to defeat the bad guys, it is that Web3 is just going to walk all over Web2 one app at a time. Everything the mother WEFers do, will create an opportunity for the new system to come into play.
How to prepare?
The only thing that all preppers say in common.
Have at least one month worth of stored food.
Buy what you eat and eat what you buy. (do not store freeze dried whatever, if you never eat it)
Other than that, stay loose. Things are going to be constantly changing. Probably for the next 50 years.
As always, i recommend moving out of the cities into the country.
Invest in bitcoin, silver and skills. (these are the ones known to be big in the future)
Don't expect anyone to come and save you.
Grow your own food, or at minimum, get to know the people that grow your food.
Stay healthy. Eat healthy and exercise.
Let go of the old. It will become worthless far faster than you think.
