Time to head for the bunker ?
Do I have time to do a laundry first ?

Wait..Thanksgiving is next week and I'm doing the cooking so it will have to wait.

"Black Friday" seems an appropriately named day for the collapse and I'll have leftovers to take to the bunker

Tell him I can do the collapse on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

More tin-foil hats!! I read the article, found no credible source sited for the claim. And more Russian TV!! WTF?!! If the Pentagon won't send a few troops to secure our borders, you think it would do it for this??!! In case you haven't noticed, our troops are already stretched thin to the limits because they are deployed across the world and Congress is discussing cutting the Defense budget.

If there is an economic collapse how are the troops going to be paid?

[would they fight for free and for what?]

Guys, let's not respond to such people. It only encourages them and doesn't even wake them up from their own paranoia. They cannot be reasoned with. Just my two cents.

Some people think that news from a former communist and still corrupt country with a history of human rights violations (that still goes on)and is our competitor and challenger in the world is more truthful than news from an American network.

I wonder why they just don't defect to Russia. I hear it's a great place with lots of freedom and economic opportunity!!
