#29 Why don't more Americans know about the quadrillion dollar derivatives bubble?

Could you mention rehypothecation? If people knew what it was and how widespread it is they would be running down the street screaming.

Rehypothecation

"Rehypothecation is a practice that occurs principally in the financial markets, where a bank or other broker-dealer reuses the collateral pledged by its clients as collateral for its own borrowing."

“What will you do when toilet paper becomes scarce?”

Use the big phone books I have stored for that purpose. They substitute for the Sears catalog people used to use. If toilets still work, put the used phone book page in a bag as it shouldn’t go down the toilet.

“I think it would be more effective to ask how long it takes for all of the grocery stores to run out of food after any kind of disaster. And how long does it take for all of the gas stations to run out of fuel?”

When a hurricane is coming my way, grocery stores and gas stations are empty in two days and nothing comes back until power is restored and gas stations have gas - trucks aren't coming back with food, etc., until they can refuel here. The one item that takes the longest to come back after trucks come back, is - bread in grocery stores.
