- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -13/+152They said this stuff back in 1992, 87, 78, 76, 74.............................
- GhostWithToast, on 04/12/2008, -4/+113Learn to hunt.
Stockpile medications.
Go off the grid.
Is this an earthquake or a recession? - uiguy3, on 04/12/2008, -5/+971.live under a rock for many years
2. After years of needless suffering depression finally comes
3.????
4. Laugh in their faces and say I told you so
5. Profit
6. Realize you wasted half your life waiting for the depression and you're still living under a rock (both figuratively and literally) - CapCzar, on 04/12/2008, -1/+83If America has to turn to eating squirrels in order to survive we are in some major sh*t.
- tont0r, on 04/12/2008, -6/+8312 Ways to be a ***** idiot. I know digg loves some sensational *****, but this article is a ***** joke. It basically says 'sell your house, quit your job, move to the middle of the sticks and eat yourself some squirrels in case something happens'.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -3/+55It's the less skilled workers that will most likely end up paying the price. Stay in school and stay off drugs kids!!!
- madfrogurt, on 04/12/2008, -4/+54What the hell is with the "America is collapsing and the New World Order / North American Union / Jew Hegemoney is coming" people and their need to barricade themselves in cabins stockpiled with ammunition?
- techmoney, on 04/12/2008, -1/+49Invest in the four B's - beans, bread, bullets, and booze.
- StingingNettle, on 04/12/2008, -1/+49Old Fashion Squirrel Stew: Salt and pepper squirrel to taste. Boil in water until very, very tender. De-bone. Take 1/2 cup of cooled Liquid in which the squirrel was cooked and make dumplings with self-rising flour. Put de-boned squirrel back in broth and add cut strips of dumplings to broth and squirrel while cooking. Add a little butter; and if you wish, you may drop 3 or 4 eggs into the mixture. Do not stir until eggs are done. (You may add about 1/2 cup of sweet milk to the dumplings before adding eggs if you wish.)
- icantseeyou, on 04/12/2008, -21/+59I agree, the economy is headed for disaster... whether it's just a recession or more is to be seen.
- NCSUspoon, on 04/12/2008, -3/+38Umm, there is a big differnce between a recession and a depression. Find an old person who lived through it and ask them if this is comparable to the depression. You will probably get kicked in the balls. We are no where near a depression, and if you think we don't have protections against it getting that *****, you are dead wrong. It is not a depression and will not be one.
- polarbobbear, on 04/12/2008, -0/+34I donno being a weed grower/seller would probably be pretty lucrative in a depression.
- macwac, on 04/12/2008, -9/+42I don't get how this can have 200+ diggs and not be on the front page and other articles with 20 diggs make it.
Anyway.. if the ***** really hits the fan, start weight lifting and practice your self-defense moves; crime will probably increase and as a digger your probably not the strongest.. - vertinox, on 04/12/2008, -1/+33A recession is where you stand in unemployment line all day long to get money to pay the bills.
A depression is where you stand in the food line all day long so you don't starve to death. - inactive, on 04/12/2008, -9/+38I spoke with my wife about leaving our home and buying an RV and she laughed at me. However, this was a great article and I do think it is a very scary time for the US economy
- Lutremi, on 04/12/2008, -2/+30Maybe it's both.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -3/+29Man has nothing to fear except, fear itself.
- RedStateRetard, on 04/12/2008, -1/+26Lyndon LaRouche will be right this time! Or maybe the next time...
- robharper, on 04/12/2008, -2/+25"Learn to hunt"...!? Are you ***** serious?
Sounds like advice to survive the Armageddon, not an economic downturn. - CrazedLeper, on 04/12/2008, -1/+23Here's a suggestion that's guaranteed to work for *everyone* who does it: Stop wanting or needing everything.
- OwdenBowden, on 04/12/2008, -22/+41As an Financial and Real Estate Analyst I have been seeing this coming for a while. Personally we are already in a depression but being Americans - most of us suffer from the Egyptian disease called King and Queen of Denial. I would like to see the author of this review the comment section because there are items in there that are very important to the list and belong on that list A.S.A.P.
- dweeb79, on 04/12/2008, -5/+24If you need to get drunk only drink Keystone Ice and Natural Ice.
If you need to go to a bar make sure you pregame at home first. - hootpie, on 04/12/2008, -2/+20Some of this ***** is just ridiculous.
Learn to hunt. These fine people claim that hungry people are already hunting small animals in the parks of San Francisco, and during the 1930s deer and squirrels were hunted almost to extinction. Learn how to trap, kill, prepare and eat a squirrel now, so you'll be ahead of the curve.
I didn't know the Great Depression was going to send us back to the Stone Age. - marx2k, on 04/12/2008, -1/+19Yeah it went from advice on how to weather a recession/depression to becoming John Rambo
- serpentor, on 04/12/2008, -3/+21Thank you. This article reads more like Y2k sensationalist drivel from '99. And there were more like it in the 2001 mini-recession. Yes the sky is falling people.... just like it did for Y2k and after the dot com crash..
- teddyrux, on 04/12/2008, -2/+18In the butt.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -2/+17so this is really your fault for not telling anyone soon enough.
- ahoyhoy, on 04/12/2008, -1/+16I think that's a message the 6 million people living in New York can agree with.
- imightbewrong, on 04/12/2008, -2/+16and i thought the Bush Administration were fear mongers
- anarcurt, on 04/12/2008, -2/+16Marketable skill- Learn to brew your own beer. And don't bother with the Euro, hard assets like metals are always better. Survival skills are always good to know. Even if this downturn doesn't turn ugly you never know when a Natural disaster or Fascist government will hit.
- samfishercell, on 04/12/2008, -0/+14Tom Cruise stars as a single dad who must protect his five remaining beet plants from starving midnight marauders as the earth literally falls to pieces around him.
Recessquake
Directed by Michael Bay. - jimmy17, on 04/12/2008, -1/+14I don't live in the US so I cant comment on food prices but if oil price goes up the cost of the transport of food goes up. You'd be surprised to see how far vegetables travel between the ground and your plate.
- jschwan, on 04/12/2008, -3/+16Fearmongers,
Please sell all of your stock as soon as possible so I may buy it at a premium and take advantage of your foolishness.
Cheers,
Realist - serpentor, on 04/12/2008, -4/+17"Personally we are already in a depression"
Come on, facts?
We just had a 20-year bull market in housing. Only the tail-end buyers are screwed, anyone who's owned a house 10 years or more is sitting on sizable gains (not everywhere in the US, but in many parts of the country). - Smeed, on 04/12/2008, -4/+17Ron Paul! A vote for America!
- thelastknowngod, on 04/12/2008, -1/+14you could go to school and learn something and then take that trade and apply for citizenship in another country. thank god im almost done school...
- wordglue, on 04/12/2008, -0/+12FTA: "Learn how to trap, kill, prepare and eat a squirrel now, so you'll be ahead of the curve." Should I laugh, should I cry? Time to dust off the ole air rifle.
- fantasmacanino, on 04/12/2008, -1/+13And apparently, judging by the comments, the collapse of the market. Oh, bears, too.
- rpi22, on 04/12/2008, -5/+17I love how the mainstream media keeps us on top of these issues by arguing over whether or not we are headed in to a recession and declaring that the worst is already over!
- speel, on 04/12/2008, -1/+13then we go into WW3 and hundreds of thousands die and we're all peachy again
- barfooz, on 04/12/2008, -0/+12Looks like you need to go back to business school, because you clearly don't know what a depression is.
- Blandyman, on 04/12/2008, -2/+14I'm not your buddy, friend.
- browwiw, on 04/12/2008, -1/+12As a gun owner, I am severely offended and you can go shut the ***** up. Legal gun owners will most likely be expected and called up on to protect their neighbors from marauders.
And it's not the cities you have to worry about. It's the goddam suburbs. Those will become the next slums as their real estate value shrinks and gas costs to much to actually drive an automobile to or from them. - Tetraca, on 04/12/2008, -2/+13If they sensationalised this issue to the American public, it might actually cause us to go into the hole faster through the wonder that is mass panic.
- imightbewrong, on 04/12/2008, -1/+11next winter we'll be roasting squirrels over a fire fueled by dollar bills
- mytibt, on 04/12/2008, -0/+10Find the tallest building in your area
- bndocksnt, on 04/12/2008, -1/+11that is quite possibly the worst article i have ever read. if they were trying for funny, they have my sympathy, but not my laughter. (a little side note: comparing the way people sought entertainment in the 1930's with today is like comparing apples and...well...antelopes).
