I'll repeat what I was told last winter.
Currently around the globe our food supply is stretched as thin as it can go, and our financial system is built primarily on credit and number juggling. We have a very large and frail house of cards built up here. This is not just true of the US and England- the ramifications of this span the entire globe.

I was told that if we were extremely lucky it might hold together until the November elections, but it would likely happen before then. The entire fucking global economy is on the edge of collapse. If it happens it will be far worse than 1929.

I said little about it at the time as I didn't want to be Chicken Little, but now it looks like it's happening.

Get ready, folks, it's gonna get ugly.
