(apologies the boomers on this list for my upcoming rant - I'm sure
you're not included :)
Their parents saved America and then raised a bunch of kids who've
never heard the word no.
It's hard to find an industry or institution that their leadership
hasn't ruined, including our government.
I look at this ridiculous squabbling over the *2011* budget,
threatening a shutdown over a few billion? While at the same time
we've got the World's largest math problem that, by CBO estimates, is
now going to hit crisis in 2019.
The key question is, can these boomers do anything unless they're in
an actual crisis? Of course the answer is no.
All we can really do is stock up on non-perishable food and other
things we can use to barter. Think about if you couldn't go to the
store for a year; what goods would you need to have? Then start
stocking up on those.
Although the good news is that local currencies have been making a comeback:
Bay Bucks San Francisco area currency.
Burlington Bread Burlington, Vermont area.
BerkSares Western Massachusetts area currency.
Madison Hours Ithaca Hours inspired currency in Madison, Wisconsin.
GLCC River Hours Another Ithaca-inspired Hour, this time in the
Columbia River Gorge area.
