James Howard Kunstler calls it The Long Emergency. Look, I don't know what to do, but there's going to be a depression and a bunch more wars and then we'll really get fucked. Sometime in the next 7-10 years I really think a bunch of us (i.e. the generation ages 25-40) will go bankrupt, just flat bankrupt. We're going to need to find ways to ride this out or just drop dead. I'm not interested in the latter option. Think about the Great Depression. This time a war is not going to get us OUT of it, but will be one of the ongoing factors in making it worse. I predict we will have to go to an agrarian/localized economy. I'm full of hope (I love Kunstler's hope imagery) but before those hopes are realized, a bunch of really horrible things have to be acknowledged and then we'll have to start banding together.

Can we build a compound? I've always wanted to build a compound.
