Tensions are incredibly high in the United States right now. I realized that over the past three years, I’ve written that they’re “at an all-time high” far too many times. So, I’ll just say, they’re high enough that all hell could break loose at any moment given the right (wrong) application of fuel to the flame. The number one thing you can do for this situation to keep your family safe is to be prepared for lockdown.
Utter and unmitigated balderdash.

The US is stable and no where near any significant problem.

The really shocking thing is that some people read such things as Zerohedge and appear to believe them

You're not right.



But I don't blame you for wanting to hide in the sand; this government/educational system has brainwashed all of us to do so from a young age.

I have been here a very long time. The present US is quite stable...more so than most of the last 60 years.

That a few with damaged intellects cannot see the obvious does not change it.

The USA in the 1970s was far more unstable than it is today.

My grandfather was so worried that he put in a gas tank and laid into other stores at his "camp" up North. He wasn't that type of guy, either; he drove a Cadillac, played golf at the country club, etc...

Lvmensch - cracks me up. What's happening in EU right now will be here by 2025. Heads in the sand REPS - yeah make America great like it was in Reagan years. When banks actually had to pay interest and accounts doubled every eight years - give me those old bad days.

For your bank account balance to double in eight years it's necessary to have an almost 9% interest rate. That was the result of years of bad economic policy. Consider this: Switzerland generrally has the lowest interest rates in the world, sometimes negative. Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Argentina, and others have very high interest rates. Where would you rather live or invest?

That's because I'm surrounded by ostriches
The housing market is about to crash again-and you have zero clue.

I had four $20000 IRA's locked in for ten years at 12% and two more at 10%. That was a result of Neil Bush and the second economic crisis in this country after 1929. All those countries are socialist from top to bottom. Socialism in this country started with LBJ, not FDR. And socialism will fail here too.
