When one of those motors sputters past, you don't rise to the bait.

Generally true, but I guess a couple of the regulars in here were bored.

I had my fun but it's not worth anymore. I don't want a meaningful thread to get totally derailed and ruined.


Just because the collapse hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. That what people don't understand. It's inevitable, it's merely a matter of timing and severity.

What are the chances of the Collapse happening after you are dead? If you are not living close to the edge, you are taking up too much space.

Concur.

And those who keep pointing out "this is a 10 year old thread" have absolutely no idea how long things can sputter along, even when they are insolvent. How long does a predator stalk its prey?

Yes, somewhere between now and the time the sun becomes a red giant....

The collapse will occur.

That is a certainty.

... Most "rural people" producing "food" are commercial farmers growing crops or livestock for sale to large food processors
So you do agree that rural is where food is produced.

Thank you for agreeing with me.

I'm not expecting anything positive or helpful from this new member. This bull in the china shop has nothing to offer.
