Send me whatever additional question you might have. I will do my best to share my opinion…for whatever that is worth.

You sound like a socialist or Marxist.

I don’t think I am either, actually I know I am not. I believe in a “free market” system…basically capitalism. I do so because I am a civil society libertarian. Along with free markets and capitalism comes responsibility…that is the Christian in me. So I believe in Responsible Capitalism. And that is certainly not what we have today…not even close!

I don’t see how we can all have equal outcomes. Equal opportunity, yes. And because we are our brothers keeper, and should basically be good people, we need to care for those in need. Kinda like no “poor” among us. Christ teaches us charity. No, not government welfare…charity from individuals. Yeah, I can go along with charity from churches as well…meets the Christianity aspect of it. Even charity from non-profit organizations can be a good thing.

There should be no families that go hungry, no children especially. What’s wrong with people having decent clothes to wear? Or a roof over their heads? Or having access to health care? Is there anything wrong with those things? No, of course not. The key is how we provide those.

The problem is we, as a people, used to take care of our neighbors who were in need. Churches used to step up and feed the hungry, cloth the naked. Charitable organizations used to help people out of poverty, train people for jobs, help victims of abuse, feed folks from soup kitchens. Many churches, charities, and neighbors still do. But most of that responsibility got perverted and shifted to government. How’s that working out?

There are plenty of resources to go around, plenty of money to help folks in need, more than enough jobs to keep breadwinners working at a decent wage. But the unbridled lust of money and power has so corrupted the United States society…well, we have just forgotten basic human dignity, and to a great degree we’ve thrown away human decency.

So, that doesn’t make me a socialist or a Marxist. I don’t begrudge anyone their wealth, riches, money, or things…I just wish we would regain our humanity, our decency, our compassion, and remember to take care of each other. Think about 1 Corinthians 13:13, Deuteronomy 15:4, Mark 12:31, and Luke 10:25-37.

What can I do?

I have no idea. I don’t know your situation so I can’t really say…besides I am no expert advisor. What I can say generally, and some thoughts to ponder:

      • Avoid all debt if possible. Probably can’t avoid a house mortgage, but make extra payments to pay it off as fast as you can.
      • Pay off all non-mortgage debt as fast as possible. Yeah, that means get a side-job.
      • Prepare along the way. Follow the steps of mitigation < click here to read more >
      • There is no national solution, no global solution, only individual and family solutions.

How bad will it get?

I have no idea for sure. But let me ask you this…If it all falls apart and people get desperate, what will they do?

      1. All people will feed themselves one way or anther. Good people will feed their kids first…one way or another.
      2. If there is no water…people will find it and take it one way or another.Violence during grid-down, emergencies, and disasters is number one #1 threat and risk
      3. If there is no power…people will try to figure it out one way or another.
      4. The people who have food, water, and power will become targets…and it will be ugly.
      5. The wealthy people who have food, water, and power will also become targets…but will have people they pay to defend them…at least for awhile.
      6. Eventually the people who don’t have, or can’t take, basic resources such as food, water, power, and medical care will die off…starting with the old, infirm, and young.
      7. Eventually the people who have or control, resources and can defend them will become extremely powerful and control all those who don’t have access to those resources.
      8. Tribalism will reign.

Yeah, that is my best guess. Not pretty…nope, not at all. I really hope I’m wrong.

What is their endgame?

I assume you mean the banks, ultra-rich, the folks behind all of this when you refer to “their”. That clarification leads me to this…

That’s a simple one, I am surprised you don’t already know. Then again, maybe you just want me to confirm what you already know.

The endgame is complete control over people. If people are completely controlled then all their effort is geared towards rewarding the government and transferring wealth and resources from the average person/citizen to the ruling class and rich elite. And the government is controlled by the ruling elite. And who is the “ruling elite”? The ultra wealthy.

It is a vicious cycle played out throughout history. The wealthy have the most control; the more wealth they acquire, the more power they can wield. It is a matter of “lust” for wealth and power. It is an age old story…just review history…it doesn’t change…they same story over and over again.
