    Unfortunately, it’s difficult to see how anybody can be insulated from the inevitable economic consequences of fraud of this stupendous magnitude. We’re all going to pay, one way or the other.

    But with that said, I’m glad to hear it. Keep up the good work.

      The key to insulation is have less.

      Organisms in the wild don’t out last their oponnents by expending energy better or being bigger, stronger. They win by being harder to kill, needing less.

      Buy less, own less, need less. Got a big house? Sell it. Got two cars? Fuck you, sell both, buy a beater.

      My family has cash, a shack, and enough liquidity and explosives to last a year.

        Yeah, true. Maybe follow that up with converting some of that cash into dry and canned goods and some upgrades to the shack though. Can’t eat money, and if this gets bad enough, the only thing bills will be good for is a substitute for toilet paper or insulation for the shack.
