As wrenching and catastrophic as it would be, IMNSHO the

to be reached in mid April. This of course will result in
almost immediate governmental default and shutdown, but as
this now appears inevitable, the sooner this occurs the less
damage will be inflicted, and the more of their capital can
be salvaged, by the people, from the wreckage.

Bring on the Great Cull!!

g tap, tap, tap I'm restlessly waiting...

Stocked up? Its going to be a very nasty time to be out of bread, wine
and barbed wire. You do have lots of bullets of course..right?

Yeah, I stocked up on 7.62 last month and picked up that shiny new
Cold Steel Kobun last week. (Sweet little tanto, BTW.) I should be
able to fight off the hoards from the cities if need be. I do need to
stock more canned goods, though. And I should sort/restock my BOB.

No wine (don't cook with it enough, -damned- well don't drink it) or
barbed wire, though.
