I was watching Youtube yesterday tell how we now have only 6 years before the extinction of mankind. Now, I’m really into the concept of global warming and am keenly aware of weather changes that affect plant growth but I’m not seeing the elimination of mankind in only 6 years. But, we may be getting to the tipping point leading to such an event in that length of time as we get closer to the 2 degree centigrade point of global warming. This is why that comic is more frightening, than comic.
Note the wife is doing the cooking. Probably because hubby already screwed up big time and can’t be trusted to do it.
It’s like the warnings about the probable damage Buttercup would do it elected. Nobody really listened and look what happened. (Of course, none of the choices were that good, but he was obviously the most unlikely to do any good for the US)
I don’t think he would have. Only RIGHT wing nutcases are ready for the apocalypse. LEFT wing nutcases expect someone else to do it for them. Whatta world!
Joe Smith has a family farm on marginal land none of the big agriculture companies want. He hunts and fishes for food and pleasure. Montgomery Caruthers III owns a major investment firm, three mansions, and a country retreat that his grandfather left him. He has a safe filled with gold Krugerrands in case anything bad happens. Something bad happens. Almost all people in cites and most in the country die. Monty and his family successfully flee to their country retreat. Monty needs food, so he takes a bagful of Kruggerands down the road to buy food from Joe. What happens?
1) Joe ends up with most of Monty’s gold before law and order are restored.
2) Joe ends up with all of Monty’s gold then lets Monty et al starve to death.

With all the tariffs they can’t afford to shop at Walmart any more for cheap Chinese clothes.

It is ALWAYS cheaper to spend more money for something that actually works than to buy the “least expensive” one.

I don’t know what they’re cooking, since the economic collapse was around the same time as the extinction event.

Sort of like a dog crossing the highway. You know it probably won’t end well but you can’t do anything about it.

Given No. 1’s economic ignorance, this scenario is not as far off as might be supposed.

It’s all part of Making America Great Again. You should feel proud to pay the “Patriot Tax” so Trump can get his way.
Besides, don’t you know that the Chinese are going to pay the tariff just like Mexico is paying for the wall?

Even during the Great Depression the Plutocrats were doing fine and making nice with the Nazi empire. Now they can be their own Nazi style empire.

I am predicting a big problem too. But not so big I have to stockpile trade goods and survivalist toys.
