True economic collapse, in which ammo becomes more valuable than money? No. Depression? Quite possible. I'd give it a 50% chance in the next 20 years (read my post on this thread, I explain some of why.)

The very long term outlook is positive; the short-term outlook is dismal. The global elite and the middle class have been at war and the latter is losing.



Just read it, very interesting. I just have a fear of the economy and dollar collapsing and life as we know it going to shit since the whole world is so dependent on us. I don't have a very solid basis for this fear, but that's the nature of many fears (I saw someone on Maury with a fear of pickles). Just hearing bad news all the time about the direction this country is going makes it loom in the back of my head.

Things are getting better across the board, but that narrative won't sell. Doom sells.
