Title: How Much Time Do We Have Left?

More of a question to provoke discussion than anything else. I am increasingly of the opinion that the Republic is done for and that we are facing an economic, social, cultural and political devastation (and maybe health devastation) that even WE - the knowledgeable and cynical - can probably barely imagine. I don't think this is preventable any longer.

I'm at the point of wondering how long we have before we reach collapse and what the bottom will be. How should we prepare for this? I have limited resources myself and am wondering what I should be focusing on and how I can prepare my less aware family and friends. I know they think I'm kind of crazy - maybe very crazy, but on the other hand - they know I'm usually right as well. There's something to be said for being willing to think and consider the unthinkable.

Personally, I've been amazed that they've kept it together as long as they have, but this year strikes me as being the year that things go from seeming normal to becoming rather uncomfortable. If I'm right, then next year will be "the reckoning" year. One thing that I've noticed is that all of the people that I know are either unemployed or barely employed, and I'm not talking about stupid and incapable people, I'm talking about good solid people with solid skills and track records, and they can't get decent jobs of any kind.

I'm about to throw in the towel myself. My wife has an application in with the state of Washington for a job that she is very qualified for. If she gets it, we stick around a while longer, if not then we're going to move out of the country. As of now I simply have no hope whatsoever of things ever getting better here in the US.

As of now our plan is to relocate to Canada first, and use that as a "staging area". If we can get something going there, then great. If not, then we're going to do some traveling in South America. Chile and Argentina look rather interesting, and there are other countries as well. Argentina had a major fiscal crisis over the last few years, and now looks like it is pulling out of it. I'd rather be in a country that has the worst behind it than be in a country that has the worst ahead of it...

Never under-estimate how much worse a situation can get. I imagine some people might have thought the worst was behind Germany in the early 1930's after their little hyper-inflation fiasco.

The one thing that Argentina has done that I think gives more hope than anything else is that they told the IMF to pack their carpetbags and get out of their country. If you take a look at the last thirty years of history you'll find one rather amazing thing: Those countries that prostrated themselves before the IMF and did whatever the IMF told them to do are now economic basket cases, while the countries that told the IMF to go pound sand are now doing rather well overall.

Mix Martin Landau, Barbara Bain and the IMF and you get a disaster more on the level of Space:1999

OOOOH Man, that a BADDDDDD show!!! I always why they did it - maybe it was a deep cover for one of their spy exploits???? It certainly sent their careers into deep cover for a few decades.

You know that a show is really bad when there are over 100 cable tv channels and not one of them will play re-runs of it, even at 3:00AM. It was one of my favorite tv shows when it was originally aired. Of course I have the defense of being 7 years old at the time.
