<p>[QUOTE="BostonMike, post: 431262, member: 7251"]I don't think there will be a collapse of society. That would really come if there was a global nuclear war or event where infrastructure is destroyed and goods aren't able to move or be created. In an economic collapse, buildings will stand, people will still need to work so they will continue to product foods and vital services, life will still go on. We might get paid less, or maybe with ration points, but we will still function. We won't resort to eating each other or our pets or anything drastic like that. We'll just be poorer than we are now. Might have to hold off on buying that Lexus and drive a 15-year old dodge or with patched up tires and resort to fixing your shoes with bark and leather strips rather than heading down the street and buying some. And we'll come out of it...just like every other society has. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to do a little reading, read up on the history of the weirmar republic. Their situation was very similar to the current US situation. They fought a war they thought would be easy and short (WWI) and ended up in the same economic situation we are in now. It was pretty bad for them...but they later became one of the most powerful nations the world has ever seen (although short lived) when they became Nazi Germany. Ok maybe that's a bad example as i don't think we want to become Nazi America, but i'm just trying to show you that other nations have spiraled down badly and risen up to be just as powerful if not more powerful. </p><p><br /></p><p>It might be hard for a few years...but we aren't gonna die[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
