Bumping a classic. Seems worth pondering.

I don't think enough people realize where we're going yet. But I don't think any of us were alive for it.

I'm starting to think Toonces really didn't know how to drive. Oh well, over the cliff we go.

Re: Our financial system is crumbling this week.
I wish I knew what to do, but oh well. My investments have taken a massive hit. Thankfully most of net worth is tied up in land but at some point that will take a hit too. I realize I am far better off than a lot of people so there's that. Plus we grow and harvest a lot of our own food so we won't starve. Not that I couldn't stand to lose some weight anyway.
I worry about the people just hanging on by a thread. I don't really know what to do to help them.

Some companies are getting absolutely slaughtered today. Wayfair, who I presume imports 99.9% of the products they sell, is down over 25%. Restoration Hardware, nearly 40%.

Re: Our financial system is crumbling this week.
Everyone ready for day 2? Dow futures already down over 1000 points. I probably shouldn't have checked my 401k this morning. It was...not good.
