IF AN ECONOMIC COLLAPSE HAPPENED TOMORROW WOULD YOU BE READY?
If you woke up tomorrow morning and you couldn’t buy gas because you debit card wasn’t working, would you have cash on you to pay for it? What if you tried to take cash out of the ATM but all the ATM’s were not working? What if you try to go to the bank but ALL the banks are shut down due to a bank holiday (and yes, it HAS happened before on minor scale)? What if all forms of electronic transactions are shut down due to this? Do you have enough food at home for a period of time greater than three days worth? Two weeks worth? One month worth? Six months worth? What if the grocery store shelves were already empty by the time you got there due to poor preparation for such an event? What if robbery and looting began due to the result of this? Can you protect yourself? Do you have the sufficient firearms to protect yourself and your family for an extended period of time? Are you prepared to do what it takes to defend yourself and them? Do you have storage of antibiotics? Are you prepared to call 911 and get no response? Are you prepared to accept the possibility that you might lose a family member due to sickness, injury or violence? Bottom line, all societies who succumb to tyranny eventually crumble under it. First chaos and violence will happen on a small, local level, police and military (WHEN Martial Law is declared) will respond which will cause an uprising of resistance. Eventually military and police will be overwhelmed and abandon their posts to be with their families to protect them. Same goes for Hospital staff and EMTs. At this point society will completely break down and reach a precipice. Either the government will use weapons of mass destruction (not likely) or they too will abandon their posts to be with their families, (probably down in a bunker somewhere). At this point society will completely break down and small bands of people will unite together forming a sort of feudal system. It will not be pretty regardless of the group’s intentions. Justice (or tyranny) will come fast and hard. Most people will not receive trials of any sort. They will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. If Patriotic Americans stay true to their Constitutional beliefs and try to maintain at least a local government of some sort, things will not get that bad. For this to work however, every abled body person must be armed. An armed society is a polite society and can maintain order and a constitutional republic of law if they so desire. It is important to maintain the ideals of our Constitution locally because locally and collectively the nation would never truly fall as long as our Constitution is observed locally. If you want to truly make a difference, be ready for such an occasion and be ready to be the leader that people need and lead them in the direction of liberty. If a collapse never happens than nothing is lost because, quite simply, it is better to have and not need than to need and not have. Remember that next time you are poking fun at a prepper; they might just be the very person who saves your life…
I’ve stocked up on paragraphs. I suggest you do the same.
Welcome to Free Republic. I may read your posts once you learn what a paragraph is.

We should all keep 5%+ of our liquid savings in cash. It’s not like you will be missing out on interest and dividends.
1. It’s protection against macro economic shock.
2. It’s protection against embezzlement, judgements and seizure.
3. It’s flexibility. I can buy that car I saw on Craigslist, without the bank being open.

LOL - thanks and good night
I hope someone from FR family will adopt me.

Interesting post. You might try using paragraphs.
We will all get to ‘wet run’ our economic collapse plans soon.
Conversely, if you prepare for an economic collapse will it happen?
