America is simply too strong to fall. The most powerful civilization in history after Rome.
This may sound slightly ironic since we all know Rome fell, but I truly believe history won't repeat itself in America's case. |
All it takes is one very major disaster, that would hit all over the place, and America would end up being done. Talking beyond even losing a city. Rome fell after the barbarians sacked it. But say the power grid permanently goes down, there will be huge problems. America is vulnerable to such now. There is no such thing as "too strong to fail".
The video, linked to the article, which is a sales piece to subscribe to a investor's research newsletter, does go into the big global problem of the exponential curve pattern of development, which is unsustainable, like a Ponzi scheme. There is going to be a need to rethink everything, and come up with new ways for society to reorder itself, to survive.

If you really believe that the civilization is going to collapse, would you be selling stock?
Or would you be buynig non-perishable goods, gold, and guns?
Think about the source and the rationale.

What needs to happen is you have a support network in place that insures you can survive. Merely hoarding goods, and just dumping stock, isn't going to cut it. And you need to ask what kind of life you will have after things fall.
As of now, I really don't own much of anything, nor do I have stocks. I am currently trying to work on mastering contentment and develop a continued state of being positive. I am investing in emotional stability, and stuff like that. I wouldn't just dump stock now.
I do think gold is just a bunch of rocks also, and guns mean I do what, fight over scraps? What is really non-perishable is skills you have, so getting skills counts. But also, keep in mind, what is seen as collapse may not be what anyone expects.
