Well I live in the woods and hang out with one guys a painter, he makes good money. He saying that many people stopped spending and he can't find work. It's happening.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78003171


Well guys are charging 6k to paint exterior homes which is crazy..should be like 3 k
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72558093


Should be like 1.5k, max. A few gallons of good paint with primer at $50, and the guy still stands to make I’ve a solid grand for a day and a half’s work. Maybe tradesmen should stop being so greedy. Lowes and Home Depot exist primarily because most people can’t afford to have things done, so do it themselves.

Even at my advanced age, I still do my own painting, concrete work, plumbing and carpentry repairs around the house. I’d be broke if I had to rely on tradesmen every time I need to get something done. A little story: my neighbor wanted to get his concrete steps repaired… three steps and a railing. Just needed pointing and the railing re-anchored. I offered to help him, but he wanted pros to do it. He got three estimates of over $6000 dollars each, just for refloating, pointing and anchoring the railing. About 6 hours work, total. Fucking greedy bastards. He finally got hold of a father/son handyman team who did the job for a reasonable $1200, materials included.

I understand everyone has to eat, but I hate most tradesmen with a passion. Can hardly wait for the collapse to hear them piss and moan.

Well I can't talk for anyone else but I know I am spending a lot less and have cut most luxury purchases.

The pubs in the UK seem a lot less full than they were, despite many closing. You would think they would be busier if there is less of them.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
The collaspe will affect those of you who are in debt or paying a mortgage, or any other loans you will suffer the worse you've ever experienced. If you can survive in a 3rd world country for 10+ years without feeling miserable you would stand a chance. But most cannot because of your greed. You borrowed to get ahead in life and it's now going to bite you in your ass. You thought u were better off than a poor person who is debtfree. You probably felt comfortable in your suburban home thinking you were smarter than people in the ghetto.

No. Those same people be the ones you face when you end up on the streets overnight in the middle of chaos of an angry mob.

Money or guns will not save you. In fact those 2 things will guarantee your death early. You stand no chance defeating people who had no time to be comfortable like you did. You got weak and you will 100% be unable to win.

Only if you are debtfree you stand a chance. Because you have freedom and you only have to get through this collapse which should be easy for you. You were poor before and it will actually benefit you during all this.

Most of you are thinking in terms of a Hollywood movie and not reality. This won't be walking dead it's real life. You think you can survive when you can't even survive in poverty areas. Go try it now and put urself to the test so you get a preview or taste of what's coming for you.

Take the hood versus a bunch of suburbs idiots and a tiny hood will wipe you all out like you're ants.

You won't be able to barter with whatever you're stocking up with your stupid shft prepping mindset. You didn't learn it seems and you're just fueling your greedy sin mind.

You'd get robbed nobody bartering with you. They are taking what you have.

Money will not help because it's the money or monetary system that caused this in the first place. Nobody will accept something of no value. You won't even be alive to use money when it's all over. So no, you're not going to be buying anything cheap. Not land, or another home. It won't be for sale.

I haven't even said much because I will get blacklisted but I said enough.

But If you want to survive. Sell everything back that you borrowed and if you have equity, great. At least you can now pay off your debts so you at least stand a chance.


Your time is almost up and will soon seem like he'll for you. AND... you still have hell to look forward to!

Be ready. Remember, your guns are a scam they want you to buy them. Trust me I made 1.5 million buying gun stocks when they threatened on mainstream to ban them. They actually will never ban those toys you own.

They want you to own them that's why 99.9% of movies have a gun scene..You're being conned and you are so obedient that you cannot see it. Because you're just a empty shell that had ur brain infiltrated by THEY. They stored everything you believe today in there.

You actually don't have any original thoughts of your own because you were enslaved in a box where they feed you only what they wanted you to see. Anything unique or original someone may tell you may not be registering to your brain.

Because this entire time. If you were in some debt. You are the sheeple who will get slaughtered.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16990866



Eloquent rubbish -- is what I call your dribble...

Firstly,, if that many mortgages went bust -- NO one is coming for your home -- that is BS. It will melt the entire financial system down... So why pay back ? - you make no sense. Paying back solves what problem if the entire world as erupted in chaos ?

You would have me believe to sell my stuff and go live in a Ghetto --- are you that stupid - or are you from the ghetto and trying to make yourself seem that you did well in life? - yes , I believe in those times - the hive mind will take over - looting will become survival mode. So are you saying --- that we should loot with the rest of our now Ghetto friend ? - and that is why you still in the Ghetto -- cos your mindest is still in the Ghetto.

and loose our guns you say ?? - and defend with what ? you make no sense.

Do I think there will be a total breakdown of the fabric of society - YES.. but your post answers to non of the solutions for that time.

My suggestion:

Stock up with PRAYER!
Stock up with skills ( building / welding / hunting etc etc)
Stock up with seeds / produce
stock up with tents / survival gear (water purification etc) .
Stock up with weapons / ammo
Stock up with solar panels / batteries / perimeter gear - alarms
Get out of the city or town --- as far away as possible from anyone else.
set up camp -- wait it out a few months / years - however long it takes --- go back, pick up the pieces.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83803678


Fool! They will still collect or kick you out of your home. It's not the end of the world just the end of this economy. I'm not allowed to say much but America will be fine after it's over. It's happening because of people who are greedy and borrowed what they don't own.

You will no longer gave your mortgaged house. You have no choice but to leave when they force you out. Just like the many who lost theirs during the housing crash. But this time alot more will lose their homes.

You don't own your house. It's not yours. If u try hogging it you are just verifying you are wicked and need to be wiped out.

You are the people they're getting rid of because they need to rid the system of you to bring in the IOT phase for the upcoming society they are building. A society where you have no role in. Your way of making a living borrowing is not part of the new plan. That's the old world. No boomers will be around.

Your debt won't be void. If that was true most would go borrow 50k now just to live it up. You still owe the gang or bank and they will collect or get out and go on the streets.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16990866

Who is kicking you out? thugs that cannot be paid, as there is no financial shitstem to pay them or gas to get there?

EVERYTHING will be void without grid, power, and internet.

Again, and you continue to ignore this, are you unaware of Cyber Polygon?

There will be no record of anything- debt nor 'ownership'.
There will be no enforcers without the ability to pay them.
There will be no debt/ownership without verifiable record of it.

No power, no gas, no food = chaos.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82758968



It's not Armageddon you idiot. There will be financial system. Just really inflated.its not crumbling down like the fall of Babylon you moron. This ain't a sci-fi movie

America will keep functioning and you will owe what you never owned! Nothing will be void. Banks will still be around. A decentralized system isn't reality when u fuckinh will and always will live in civilization which isn't going away.

And you don't own society u just live in it. It's not ur house it's a house in society that u borrowed.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
My relatives are all planning vacations to expensive destinations and it’s like money is growing on trees for them. My in laws just got back from a month in Europe. They are retired. They spend like there is no tomorrow. Yes, they did well during their working years, but they spend as if nothing bad is happening in the economy. It’s truly bizarre as some seem to go about life as they always have. And one relative is buy their third vacation home.

Me? I’m just reading glp, eating beans and rice and trying not to spend anymore than I absolutely have to.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
The homeless people tell me the church is serving food so bad, it is worse than jail food. Cold burned hotdogs, expired lunch meat, and a lot of starch. This is in contrast to pre c19 when warm nutritious meals were served. Pre the c19, one meal a day was available (salvation army, church groups, veterans groups) and that is no longer available. This will end in increased shoplifting and stealing from cars and yards/homes. People go a little crazy after 24 hours without food.

I see people around me living happily and they are either in it or ignorant. Biggest shock will be the realization that our neighbors are working to destroy our countries.

All around, it seems people continue to spend spend spend as if everything is normal. Are people not running out of money? I sure as hell am, and have been pinching pennies for months. Is it just my perception, and I am only noticing the wealthy out there? The last week I have this impending sense of deep economic despair is about to strike, the likes of which has never been seen before. I do not think it will be comparable to anything we have seen in the past since society is now so dependent on the digital economy. When things collapse it will be epic and there will be no safety net as the vast majority of people are so disconnected from self sustainability. And, I do not think those who have skills and the resources to be self sustaining will fare that well as the hungry hordes will seek them out.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76046256


Credit cards and debt. The last time this happened most people were given a get out of debt free card. Perhaps they think this will happen again. I knew multiple people that let houses and debt foreclose. One actually had two houses and stopped making payments and kept all the cash to buy another cheaper house outright. Another stopped making payments and lived without making payments for 7 years. The banks tried to foreclose but the banks did not have the signed mortgage papers so every time the judge would throw out the foreclosure during the proceeding.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
I just said this to somebody the other day.

Living down here in Florida, and the common person all seem to have brand new pickup trucks with huge 30-in tires and unlimited gas cards to fill them up.

Some of these same people are buying several packs of cigarettes at a time or carrying out bags full of foods from Pollo Tropical while I'm sitting here eating rice and beans and whatever I can afford.

The thing is, you wouldn't know that the economy, inflation and everything else, was on the rise while all other things are in a steady decline.

Thankfully I already let a millionaire's life, owning businesses, the Mercedes, the Lamborghini, the BMW motorcycles and even those things weren't toys as much as they were my eyeing up estate sales and when old men died and had these things sitting in their garage, will barely know miles on them and every service call met. I'd pick them up for a mere few thousand dollars and do the work on them myself (the Murcielago was actually a friend's car who didn't have money to afford to tune up until we left it sitting in his garage for 2 years before I took it over).

My point is, since getting rid of all those things, everything I had in the garage you name it... Everything I own now is in my little Mazda 3, some important art and a few other items are in storage in big Tupperware containers (those black and yellow lid top ones from Home Depot) as they have art in them and the road I've been on and the experiences I've had has built up both my spiritual strength and my intestinal fortitude for what's coming.

I have building tools extension cords and whatnot in the trunk, along with a basic set of medical supplies and a few other things for when/if TSHTF.

The only thing I don't have is the same thing other people won't have any that's gasoline. I did invest however in several land plots between Florida and Vermont. Depending on the time of the year, and where I'm at, I have enough in the way to get to any of the locations where there is gasoline and other supplies and preps, the best one being in Vermont on 17 acres and every resource including fresh spring water, solar and wind power.

Outside of that, I'm not going to incur violence on anybody, but I am going to bunk her in and wait and watch to see who dies off and in what areas. I'll be more of a scavenger-marauder at that point, setting traps and making sure I have access to plenty of the brake fluid and pool shock that's left on the empty shelves of many stores where people don't know what those two things combined can do for defensive measures.

Good luck, pray without ceasing and may you be where you need to be if things go south quickly.

Because, they need you to take the digital ID/ social credit scheme. A collapse is the perfect way to do it. Collapse the economy and millions will need aid within a month, many millions within three. In order to get aid and benefits from the state you will need a digital ID; ID 2020.The majority of oblivious Americans will be sucked into the system within a year. The minority outside of the system will be squeezed out. The vaccine and vaccine mandate crap was just a prelude, a test run and a sneak peak.

My Home Depot, boots on the ground report for sky rocketing explosive price increases is current information. As we extrapolate this data it appears that inflation is running far above 8%. It is more like 20 % and the economy is toast. Most people are on their phones and are totally oblivious . Housing is crashing and that will be a huge blow to the economy . Add in the price of fuel and we have a recipe for economic collapse. Additionally ,Joe six pack doesn't understand what Russia is capable of.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
All around, it seems people continue to spend spend spend as if everything is normal. Are people not running out of money? I sure as hell am, and have been pinching pennies for months. Is it just my perception, and I am only noticing the wealthy out there? The last week I have this impending sense of deep economic despair is about to strike, the likes of which has never been seen before. I do not think it will be comparable to anything we have seen in the past since society is now so dependent on the digital economy. When things collapse it will be epic and there will be no safety net as the vast majority of people are so disconnected from self sustainability. And, I do not think those who have skills and the resources to be self sustaining will fare that well as the hungry hordes will seek them out.

The Great Collapse Will Happen Suddenly

“The great collapse will come suddenly, My son. It will be preceded by a stock market crash. Many will die, they won’t have the food to feed themselves. The great die-off will precede the great war. Great countries will attempt to invade and take over other countries. The atrocities will be horrific. This time of prosperity will precede the great collapse. Many will perish having no food and no money to buy anything, My son. Prepare for the end. Government stocks will not save you. Many will perish. The economy built on debt will totally collapse, My son. Prepare for the end. Nothing will save you. Roving gangs will steal your food. It will be a time of ‘Mad Max.’ You know it well from the movies you saw. Move to a foreign country and there prepare for the end. The end comes swiftly. Prepare for it. Your Lord has spoken. Amen and amen.”
 Quoting: Prophet True

Whatever.

You guys are freaking funny...

Since 2000 people are talking about the collapse that will happens next month. In 2012 everyone here was on suicide watch, afraid of the Maia calendar. Every fucking day for 2 FUCKING decades is the same bullshit.

Not is going to happen!!! Get a life, a job, a girl...

Nuclear bombs will not fall, food will not disappear, there is no climate change...

Fool! They will still collect or kick you out of your home. It's not the end of the world just the end of this economy. I'm not allowed to say much but America will be fine after it's over. It's happening because of people who are greedy and borrowed what they don't own.

You will no longer gave your mortgaged house. You have no choice but to leave when they force you out. Just like the many who lost theirs during the housing crash. But this time alot more will lose their homes.

You don't own your house. It's not yours. If u try hogging it you are just verifying you are wicked and need to be wiped out.

You are the people they're getting rid of because they need to rid the system of you to bring in the IOT phase for the upcoming society they are building. A society where you have no role in. Your way of making a living borrowing is not part of the new plan. That's the old world. No boomers will be around.

Your debt won't be void. If that was true most would go borrow 50k now just to live it up. You still owe the gang or bank and they will collect or get out and go on the streets.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16990866

Who is kicking you out? thugs that cannot be paid, as there is no financial shitstem to pay them or gas to get there?

EVERYTHING will be void without grid, power, and internet.

Again, and you continue to ignore this, are you unaware of Cyber Polygon?

There will be no record of anything- debt nor 'ownership'.
There will be no enforcers without the ability to pay them.
There will be no debt/ownership without verifiable record of it.

No power, no gas, no food = chaos.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82758968



It's not Armageddon you idiot. There will be financial system. Just really inflated.its not crumbling down like the fall of Babylon you moron. This ain't a sci-fi movie

America will keep functioning and you will owe what you never owned! Nothing will be void. Banks will still be around. A decentralized system isn't reality when u fuckinh will and always will live in civilization which isn't going away.

And you don't own society u just live in it. It's not ur house it's a house in society that u borrowed.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80623123


No power= no banks, no business.
You think they are fucking around? they aim to kill you, me, and America. And no one is stopping them.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82758968



You are a deluded conspiracy theorist. There will be power you idiot. But not for you if u pay a mortgage. The reason you have a meter in your yard is because they will shut down your power. Not everyone else's. Just people in debt. Because you won't be able to pay them. Electricity isn't going anywhere. They just can't supply it to idiots like urself who borrow to get ahead. They aren't aiming to kill nobody. It's not 10000bc. In fact the elites we are the good guys. You're not u just have greedy addictions that we are tired of supporting. You are sheep that will get slaughtered by your own stupidity. The elites are saving earth from you because they need oxygen that you greedy bastard want to destroy.

Peasent.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
When the power is discontinued, there will be TOTAL chaos within 72 hours.

looting, panic, drug fiends, hunger, people who think a war started, be it global, civil, or revolutionary and will not be able to get confirmation in any direction with no comms capabilities for most.

supply chain seizure, inability to transact business, get gass, etc.

no meds and no food.

water treatment and pumping offline creating thirst and sanitation disasters.

All within the first 72 hours. No LEO or fire response. All will be on their own.

The old, sick, disabled, and those in need of power to live are immediately threatened.

Re: Are people oblivious to the collapse we are about to face?
I think with a full scale collapse like we have never seen before in modern recorded history would wipe out most of the Population within the 1st few months from starvation disease and violence,…etc. the roving marauders and looters would be downsized greatly and much weaker by the 2nd quarter 4-6 month time frame imho. People will have to eventually cooperate to rebuild a semblance of a society if we went full Mad-Max in a collapse. I don’t under estimate what people that are desperate will do,…

Dont forget about the complete cut off of 'meds'- for heart patients, diabetics, cancer, psych, etc... 1 in 4 americans takes at least one prescription med daily. ALL that shit is made abroad. And 'regular' drug addicts - coffee, alcohol, sugar, street drugs...

There will be complete chaos within 72 hours.

seems to have been missed.
people will not do well. especially 'sick'/dependent ones, which is the MAJORITY of Americans, and thus their families, neighbors, and those around them they will attempt to prey on.

Stone cold fact.
Americans are too weak, sick, and damaged to live without massive infrastructure.
+90% dead in 12 months.
That was the estimate BEFORE that vaxx and before Xiden was trying to get Russia to nuke us.

Get freeze dried, canned goods, water.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75347959

I have never understood why people recommend getting water. Water is everywhere and it is completely free. No need to store it in quantities unless you live in a desert. Instead, recommend to learn how to find, collect and filter water.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84243941


Here's what happens to the water supply in an economic collapse: [link to apnews.com (secure)]

Municipal water treatment centers need electricity to pump water to homes. Electricity goes out, no water. People start drinking, bathing, and shitting in the local river. People get dysentery and die.
