Sorry for the black pill… but there’s really no other way to address this issue. we NEED to be prepared for the worst case scenario even though we may not ever get there. And those who have not yet prepared, let’s help them out.
Here’s why one needs to be prepared for the worst…

I think it’s time we help each other with preparing for potentially the worst. I believe we will jump into a severe depression, so our commodities may actually end up being tradable goods and benefit us.
Please contribute information for our fellow community members who may not understand much about prepping. I will comment below as well.
Sorry to go against your sentiment (the info is good) but for me, what you described is what I’ve been expecting. In fact I thought most of us believed it was going to get that bad before it gets better. When words like “precipice” and “you have to show them” are used, I don’t take that to mean we might have a few discomforts. But again, good info.
