Alarm About US Economic Collapse
By Klark Barnes
Americans
are used to being pretty much immune to any real social or economic calamities,
with memories of the Great Depression being something that is limited to
textbooks. We have gotten to the point where, even with the current recession,
we just can’t imagine an all out economic collapse could ever happen here in
our country.
However,
the signs are that the very thing that we think of as unthinkable is becoming
more and more probable with every passing week. An economic collapse is more
likely than ever before, and with it, food shortages and power outages. Just
how could that be true?
First
off, the power outages and food shortages are just natural results of the
economic collapse. Both food shortages and power outages are consequences of
the supply chain disruptions that occur when an economy collapses.
An
economic collapse like what is most likely to occur in the United States would
be a scenario where the government has to print more and more money to pay its
bills and that causes enormous inflation. Very quickly, the inflation turns to
hyperinflation, where instead of 5% per year, the rate of inflation becomes 5%
per month and then, for a brief period of panic, even 5% per week.
When
the economic collapse begins and inflation skyrockets, suppliers of all sorts
of products get very reluctant to ship their goods today because next week they
might get a drastically higher price. Add to that the concerns that they might
never get paid and more and more companies suddenly go bankrupt, and very
quickly there are food shortages in the stores, even though there is plenty of
food in the country.
This
same dynamic affects all of the public utilities. Contractors become reluctant
to perform work for the electrical utilities and other public works employers
as they are concerned that by the time they are paid, their money will buy only
a fraction of what it would have bought when they earned it.
This
disruption in the supply chain and with contractors and key government workers causes
repairs and maintenance in critical infrastructure to get delayed, making
things like the electrical power grid less reliable and more prone to
breakdown.
This
was a key lesson from the economic collapse of Argentina. A wealthy country
with a strong middle class suddenly had issues with rolling blackouts and less
than reliable electrical service. It was quiet a shock to the population.
However, it should not come as such a big shock if this scenario unfolds in
America.
So
if we know that economic collapse, food shortages and power outages are
increasingly likely to happen in the United States, we are faced with a
decision. We can take some measures to prepare – either extreme measures like
the “Doomsday Preppers”
on TV, or some more modest measures – and remember that an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.

How To Make An Herbal Medicine Chest
When you or a member of your family gets a runny nose, a sore
throat, aching muscles, a minor burn, or a scraped knee, do you reach for
popular over-the-counter medications?
You’re not alone. Most people have a medicine cabinet filled
with conventional store-bought remedies such as Benadryl, Tylenol, Advil,
Robitussin, and Neosporin or their generic equivalents.
You can take care of many common ailments effectively,
inexpensively – and most importantly, naturally – by stocking the ingredients
in an herbal medicine chest. Many herbs and oils can be combined to create
healing salves, poultices, and other remedies...

It should not shock anyone, except for perhaps Rip Van Winkle, and even he should have long ago stopped his slumber, that our universities are now intellectual cesspools. Political correctness, wokeism, DIE, cultural and economic Marxism, etc have undermined America.
From what we see in our area-most are spending money like it's 1999-perhaps for good reason?!
I kinda hope it does collapse-maybe Dem Socialists will go down the tube then!
