what not to do in 2020 collapse

WHAT NOT TO DO IN 2020 COLLAPSE

As we just discussed, I’m betting that we are already in the next economic collapse.  Not as in, we’ve been in an economic collapse for fifty years.  As in, Big Stuff happens like in 2008.  Just as in 2007 when the collapse started, we might not see huge indicators until next year but it has already started.  Don’t take this to mean you have a year and a half to prep.  I’m just guessing that it won’t be until next year when banks crash and everyone is out of work and etcetera.  I know you don’t want to believe me.

Last time, mostly due to the oil price spike but picking up steam after that with unemployment exploding, global trade tanked.  Yet, we are already right now at worse volumes of global trade than we were then.  Last time, unemployment numbers grew AFTER the housing bubble crashed.  This time, even discounting my own paranoid unemployment guesstimate, the numbers are at 1929 Great Depression levels, already.  Last time, the housing bubble derivatives bubble was almost a quadrillion.  Now it is almost three times that much.  Depending on your math.  But even “just” twice is scary enough.

*

Last time, we had half the national debt.  Last time, we only had a housing bubble.  Now we have the Everything Bubble, and houses are at levels close to those bubble highs now.  Last time, we had weather disasters affecting crops after the crash.  This time, they already started.  Last time we had just started fracking.  This time, most fracking areas are played out.  Last time, companies could borrow to stay in business.  This time, those companies cannot even pay the last loans.  Last time we only had to bail out some banks.  This time, every institution needs bailing out.

*

If you aren’t scared, you are an eternal optimist and cannot be cured.  For the rest of you, let’s talk about how you can get ready, your timeline and what NOT to do.  As for a timeline, I cannot time the collapse.  You cannot time the collapse.  Ross Perot cannot time the collapse ( and Warren Buffet is clearly under the thumb of the “R” bankers and is doing stupid crap just to give the illusion of calmness, so we can’t rely on him ).  Assume the collapse is tomorrow.  Seriously.  I could be way off on the obvious indicators waiting until next year.

*

What can you do?  In all seriousness, panic early and avoid the rush ( thank you for that one, Greer.  You were a Optimistic Ollie delusional puke, placating the masses with permaculture unicorn gardens, but you got a lot of things right ).  You could be excused for not seeing the severity of the 2008 crash.  You have ZERO excuse this time.  Take the 2008 collapse, add the Great Depression, the millions percent inflation of Zimbabwe, the Cold War nuclear threat, the Black Plague, the New World smallpox 90% die-off, an EMP and perhaps, maybe, you’ll sort of get how bad it is going to get this time.

*

Okay, a bit of hyperbole.  But at least economically, we have no experience in this country.  It won’t be Really Bad But I’m Prepared.  It will be worse.  And it is going to be so much worse for one simple reason.  There are paradigms that must be destroyed.  Ultimately, our War Of Northern Puritan New England Blue Blood Banker Whores Subjugation Of The Southern Sovereign States was fought to turn our country into an industrial empire.  You can’t vote that kind of thing in.

*

Rather, you had to utterly destroy the agricultural economy that had too much political power.   With them in power, necessary resources were not available for centralization.  At the same token, you can’t peacefully colonize half the globe to continue with free commodities to supply captive consumers with your industrial goods.  We had to destroy all our competitors.  Our allies and our enemies.  England had to be reduced to the economic level of Detroit 2005 so we could rule most of the planet ( we finally got China, but by then we couldn’t control them ).

*

Political and economic orders are always carried out as corpses.  They are never peaceful transactions.  Not only do we have a federated country that must be balkanized, we have an empire that must be dissolved.  And we have an Oil Age that must be destroyed to get back to a saner form of human existence.  Which means we need a die-off to accomplish that.  It might not even stop there as we’ll need a Dark Age to replenish the land ( the conservative farming movement is a great idea.  And it is ultimately doomed to failure from its reliance on the Oil/Industrial Age continuing ).

*

( The “conservative farming” idea is employing methods that are flexible, and immediately save money to pay for its implementation.  No plowing, with cover crops and rotation.  Some also throw in short durations of intense grazing followed by a year rest.  They are great ideas.  You also still need some machinery and some fertilizers/pesticides.  Although far less than currently.  The big failure with the system is outside its control, the centralized transportation heavy distribution system.  Without tearing up the suburbs and decentralizing farming, it is due to fail.  And we don’t have resources to relocate )

*

Not to say the 2019/2020 collapse will be the end game of all that constitutes daily life.  Perhaps it won’t be.  But I’d say that the odds are good that it will be the last economic collapse we see in our current set-up as imperial central bank run industrialized society.  But just in case, of course, you aren’t per se burning bridges in the sense of going to jail if the current régime survives.  You are just opting out economically, not politically.  But keep in mind that all the advice to follow assumes you agree with me that this is the final phase of our current system.

*

Just economically.  Social disintegration is a step removed.  This is just the immediate responses and work-arounds for severe economic contraction.  It is a tutorial on what to do and what not to do as the economic collapse commences.  You’ll still see-most likely-full government control, rationing, higher crime rates and all the rest ( the 1970’s revisited ).  We discuss steps to take to soften that blow, to reduce the consequences of staying within this current failing system.  Continued tomorrow.
