Theo, I think your predictions are pretty accurate and intriguing. It's kind of weird to state this but my family and I have serious conversations about a totally collapsed economy and how to survive it. What are the most important basics to survive like: water, food (canned), penicillian, alcohol (rubbing
)-medical aide kit, candles, blankets, certain tools (use with your hands like saw and hammer)-to cut down branches to burn for warmth. I also think toilet paper is important too
. Our neighbors are pretty good so that should work in our benefit.
All this sounds crazy to a rational person....but when you see dozens of authority with BIG guns staked out in front of the Capitol building, you have wonder how bad things really are!!!!
Funny how you mention vocational jobs. There are many of us who graduated with degrees and are in high debt with student loans and credit cards and no jobs to pay it back. We are stuck unable to move forward into our future. Last year, I thought go towards the healthcare industry because (before Obama was elected),
1. BabyBoomer Generation is going to part of the largest aging group that the world has ever seen before (if the survive 2010-11),
2. Tend to see an increase in mental illness, flus aka (swine).
3. riots and mass hysteria is going to lead many people's into the ER for physical injuries.
