It's Camp FEMA time!!

:campfema:
 Quoting: chuckles45


Maybe, I've been hearing a lot of radio commercials recently from DHS and FEMA, warning people to be prepared, giving some suggestions on what to do and saying to go to ready.gov to learn more... "Every family should be prepared for a national emergency" Maybe they know exactly what is coming?

It seems as though the government and agencies are prepared, and preparing for something major. Maybe this is it?

$18 trillion in debt, $190 trillion in unfunded liabilities, foreign economies faltering, defaulting etc.

If what is described in the OP happens, how the hell can anyone be prepared for that?

I guess it is a matter of your perception and definition of honesty. Telling the truth is not necessarily honesty. It is not only words that define honesty, but motive and actions that make an honest person.

If this happens then were pretty fucked mate, no wages, no access to savings, everything would double overnight etc etc.

Just the first shoe to fall. Shitstorm coming to everyone before long.

Interesting thing is, this place is not far removed from an agricultural society. Before tourism, many families had a bit of land and survived by subsistence farming (& fishing). As with other places, the younger generations didn't want this and migrated to the mainland (or got out altogether), but now many are leaving the cities and going 'home'.

In a pinch...the ATF plan is a great start!

Alcohol...small bottles are best for barter.
Tobacco...I know folks that would do just bout anything for a smoke.
Firearms...if the first two fail to get you what you need,
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69005136


I LIKE THIS PLAN!!!

Barter, barter is going to be the new currency.

If I can get a few bucks ahead before it REALLY hits the fan, I'll stock up on a few of those "essentials."

Having said that here in nepal there is a healthy barter system already in place in the form of land owners going 50/50 with workers where the worker does all the work on the land and shares the profits or crop 50/50. Its very common here and gives the non land owners a chance of earning some good money etc whithout the big outlay for land, they often live on the land also.
