> [@Gus](#): > > I better load my musket. truthful sarcasm. All you creeps hoping for (you know you are) total anarchy are out of luck. The United States will never fall into anarchy. In 1929 on black tuesday, nobody started shooting and taking out buildings. And this is a much more gradual and less shocking ween into a depression. Yet people are just going to go nuts and retreat into bomb shelters and take up sniper posts and the army is going to come in and forcefully take control of neighborhoods? Welfare rates go up, unemployment goes up, all retail sales plummet, your neighbor robs you with a flaming pitchfork and kills your wife. Which one of these doesn’t fit during a US economic disaster? ---

… meanwhile between the “if it bleeds it leads” news and all of you negative-nancies, there are some people MAKING FUCKING BANK because you’re playing the part of chicken little screaming the sky is falling, so the market dips, and they ride the whole way down buying puts or trading futures - my buddy and I were talking about it and a $1 shift in the S&P can be worth over $50. And so yeah, those days where everyone is FREAKING OUT, MANNNNnnnnnnn and stuff goes from 850 to 816 to 890 that volatility makes some people quite wealthy. What nobody seems to get is its ALL about consumer confidence. Meaning, if everyone shut the fuck up about how “Bad” it was and just went about their lives things would pick up and yeah, its gonna be tight and maybe we learned an expensive-if-valuable lesson about living beyond our means as a society (yeah fucking right, nobody learned dick) but panic? war? reshaping society?

^Buy ammo before Barry taxes it 500%. Maybe after all the meetings this weekend in DC we will come out with a new world currency. You can make all the money you want in the market but if it worth nothing it doesn’t do you much good does it? They are talking about more money for the auto makers. It almost seems they want the dollar to collapse by digging deeper in debt. ---

This is not a tinfoil hat guy, this is the Comptroller General of the USA. Look at the debt. We are in trouble and ignoring it is not going to make it go away. ---

I feel like we’ve been doing our part as citizens and shouldn’t be held responsible for the governments shenanigans. Why not ignore it? It’s not like I can do anything about it. Tell me I’m not spending my money right or something. ---
