the problem is, nobody really knows what will happen with certainty.
Every time I get to feeling that things could get crazy bad and terrible, I remember that even when it has been "bad" (2008 for example) in my life, my life was still pretty good during that time.
Perhaps we are in uncharted waters. I don't know. Seems possible. Or, we are just kicking the can down the road for another 8-10 years...
It will all probably come crashing down eventually. Good reason to have a good stockpile of guns and ammo.
