Something something, that joe kennedy quote where he says when shoeshine boys are giving stock tips it's time to sell

this is fact, and has aged massively well as a quote ( the existence of shoe shine boys notwithstanding)

I think the more modern warning is when all your cube-farm co-workers start believing the stock market is a full-proof way to make money or are talking about getting into house flipping.

yes, and the latter is definitely already happening

i have to consistently warn my mother against house-flipping, who still thinks its a great idea when you dont have excess capital to fall back on

it really isn't unless you have that excess capital; there is no way of knowing when you won't be able to sell the house because no one is buying

you will be losing money if you time it wrong, and if you have no excess capital you are in deep water

probably, but he's also a survivalist kook so

In all seriousness though the only part im taking seriously is the parts where hermits bunker up then get killed because gently caress those guys. As he's the only source i can find i'd treat everything else with a hefty bit of salt, especially since i've already found stuff that contridicts his gold bug tendencies. But alas, the conditions people live in are unimportant compared to imf impact diagrams or whatever.

your initial point was, people need to cooperate to survive, and imho, just lol at anyone who thinks they can get by without that when, and if the apocalypse comes

you can hole up with your canned, and dehydrated food, and your gallons of water with walls lined with guns, but if a smart enough, and large enough roving band of humans comes by, you are a corpse with stuff, or if you are smart, a member of a brand new community who is intent on forcibly sharing your resources

either way, being one man in a forest with things makes you a patsy in the natural world, and we haven't been living in that for some time

i've been involved in "survival" type stuff for a while. part of what we do to train involves being self-sufficient in the woods for any amount of time. i've seen people doing very well food and shelter-wise who tapped out because they couldnt bear being alone. people prefer being part of a starving group instead of being fed and alone. if some poo poo hits the theoretical fan i'm staying in a city.

yeah but like, if employers actually cared to differentiate, they could use a different test
at my current job i did a piss test before i got hired then they do random annual tests with mouth swabs (the owner is a fascist)

if all your money becomes worthless overnight, are you going to:

a) go trade your prized possessions to the one bitcoiner within fifty miles of you in exchange for magic fun bucks

b) exchange your car for a box full of graphics cards and hope you're lucky enough to get 0.001 bitcoins before the power goes out and renders them worthless

c) join the looters pillaging the area in order to stock up on food and gasoline

c, always c
like, are you kidding?
