Anyone else get that feeling..That we are past the point of no return

Quote from lolatency:

I contemplated buying land and a lot of guns, as well as some training for raising crops and survivalism; however, what I haven't figured out is how I'm going to have enough ammo to shoot the looting hordes, and whether I should shoot them without questions, post a sign and then shoot, or what. They'll redistribute my wealth after they kill me. Remember Katrina?

Katrina's New Orleans is tomorrow's "All of America".

This reminds me of a sign I saw...

"All trespassers will be shot. Survivers will be shot again."

Is the US going to descend in to Mad Max anarchy: No (seriously get a grip if you are worried about this)


I think this is so remote its laughable.

I am more worried about an extensive future of the 1970's on steriods or an Argentina 2001, or Venezuela.

High Corruption, High Taxes, High Inflation, High Unemployment, High Poverty, Low Prospects, Oppressive Government reducing basic liberties and forcing Socialist policies.


Quote from makloda:

If you're serious about this thought then now is the time to consider relocating to a tax haven so your children can grow up without a tax burden that will take 25+ years to pay off.

Any Suggestions

Is the US going to look very different in 20 years: Yes though probably not as different as some imagine.

What hasn't and won't change? The time tested values are what will put you in the best position to prosper regardless of the changes. Live far below your means, don't carry any debt, be conservative and well diversified with your investments, take care of your health, your family (grow vegtables if you have the land to do so), try and add value to your own life, the lives of those around you, and, if you have time and energy left, your community. Never give up.

Live like that and you will be fine.

From a trading/investing perspective think in terms of opportunities, such as being able to buy in to all sorts of asset classes at multidecade lows that will come in the next 2 years.

One good thing about all this unemployment, especially amongst the high acheivers is that they are not the type to just sit still and lament thier loss, they are doers and will be starting many thousands of new businesses, a few of which will be the walmarts and microsofts of tomorrow giving a new generation the possibility to make Buffet like returns over the next 20+ years.

Another ET gem amid the drivel; someone who can think beyond immediate gratification/dissatisfaction.

Be aware that every generation has believed the end of the world is near. Psychologically it helps add meaning to the lives of those who can only find meaning in manufactured drama and self-importance.

It's not about the end of the world, Its about living in the USA. Going to bed and waking up and living in Venezuela. There is no mad max in caracas, people go to school, they work, go clubbing. But if your an American and in 5 years time your Country looks like Venezuela in policies and economics, then that is a sucky situation, and it is a point of no return.

Life goes on but its like living in the nicest house in the neighborhood and your kids inherit a rat trap dump, with crumbling walls.

Why can you rule this out? Sometimes I think everyone is just a Travis the Chimp waiting to go nuts when everything changes.
 
Relax guys

This is what is going to happen. Dollar will lose value slowly, inflation rise slowly, we will get poorer slowly

So at the end our houses will get smaller, cars getting smaller and no more SUVS, clothing gets cheaper and lower quality, food will be more expensive and lower quality.

But no mad max and no zombies on the streets, it is just getting back to normal.
