And then Russia hits us with a cyber attack that shuts down banking or a power grid. And we are wholly unprepared for that. [/quote]

Your assessment of the relative strength of Russia versus that of the United States seems very poorly founded. You think they're more prepared for us than we are for them? I mean, it's war. It would be a shit show all around. Enormous suffering. But we're better than they are. [/quote]

Yes they are more prepared because Russians are willing and used to suffer more than Americans are.

Americans are tougher than you think. [/quote]

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Americans throw tantrums for the smallest inconveniences

I can’t wait to see what happens if gas hits 8 dollars a gallon.

First of all, apologies for peddling conspiracies, but I am trying to find some comforts right now convincing me there won't be nuclear apocalypse or some insane bio warfare or some massive extermination event.  Feel free to flame and tell me I am an idiot, I won't be offended.

Gas this expensive will cause prices for a lot of other basic necessities to rise, e.g. crazy inflation.  Our salaries aren't likely to rise, so we all will feel much poorer except for those with loads of cash or assets. There will be a move towards more austere lifestyle, which has been against the whole concept of abundance and comforts of the western world.  And I am sure there will be those getting very very rich from all this, another transfer of money from the worker bees to the classes that own everything.   You may wonder if there are forces in the world that want this, lack of upward mobility, wide acceptance of austerity by general population, and concentration of resources and power in very few hands, total control of population and their movements, etc, etc.  These are the conspiracies I would not like to see to come to reality, but I also don't want to believe we will be in the full blown war with the wrongest country we could go to war with.. maybe except China..  Let there be peace[/quote]

Pp here. I appreciate the response. I welcome a more austere and stoic lifestyle [/quote]

It's very strange to read given what I see in the suburbs of DC metro - McMansions galore and affluence on full display.  I think also maybe your version of austerity (a comfortable, but not large home/apartment in a walkable area where you may not need to own a car) isn't what is planned for us.  Do you care to have your kids live in some episode of "Black Mirror"?  Try "15 Million Merits" episode in season 2 of this show.. It's maybe what's planned for us, perpetual serfs, whose only purpose is to work and produce more workers.  [/quote]
