Those homeless camps looked clean and full of dignity to be honest. I especially liked the relaxing international sounding music the go pro biker used. I was gonna donate to some homeless charity, but then I saw the new tents. I wasnt born yesterday. Nice try homeless people.

They live as kings above the riff raff of the world.

Looked like a nice spot to live in a van, down by the river.

The Walking Dead scenario: all weaklings & old people gone.

Since accomplishment means nothing to most people here, and money will collapse, the fantasy is that because I’m old, some young buck could take me on. The delusion being everything I got was due to White Male Priviledge. Well, let me assure any 30-something who thinks the lack of grey hair gives you the advantage when the police are gone, I will fucking own you.

Survival, in my opinion, comes down to community and luck. I'd imagine your neighborhood has quite a lot of landscaping that can be converted to gardens. Not really a huge amount of people. The men could form up into a local militia for all intents and purposes to defend the area.

A man can be Mr. Spec Ops Operator and still perish if he is alone and surrounded by dindus and rabid progressives. There's a balance to be had.

This.

Conversely, a large group of tacticool conservatives would eventually revert to a gang of bandits, without someone growing the food for them.

Tacticool fags will get whacked by real banditos pretty early on.

If your bug out bag looks like something from the movie Predator, then you're in for a bad time..

Here it is... PARTY TIME!

Everybody's gonna get rich, this time!

The comeback in complex credit derivatives blamed for exacerbating the global financial crisis is picking up pace.

That’s according to new research this week from Citigroup Inc., one of the biggest arrangers of so-called synthetic collateralized debt obligations. Sales of the products may jump to as much as $100 billion this year from about $20 billion in 2015, Citigroup analysts wrote in an Oct. 31 report.

Never thought I'd even see that word again, in my lifetime. Unbelievable.

Here's your "gotcha moment" for this crash cycle.

The eagerness to shift incentives away from buybacks to capex is also the basis for much of Trump's economic policy as designed over the past year by his top economic advisor, former Goldman COO Gary Cohn who is the White House Economic Council director. In fact, the motive behind the administration's entire push for tax reform (cutting corporate tax rates) and offshore cash repatriation, is to the funds domestically, though not on buybacks and M&A (which also leads to "synergies" and other headcount reductions), but on reinvesting the funds in growing one's business and hiring.

Which is why we were amused to observe the following brief interchange yesterday between Gary Cohn and an audience made up of executives, where in the span of a few seconds Gary Cohn realized that his entire economic policy had been a disaster.

During an event for the Wall Street Journal's CEO Council, an editor at The Wall Street Journal asked the room: "If the tax reform bill goes through, do you plan to increase investment — your company's investment, capital investment?" He asked for a show of hands.

Alas, as the camera revealed, virtually nobody raised their hand.

Adding insult to injury, last month the White House released a paper arguing slashing the corporate tax rate would increase average household income.

Ironically, Cohn's epiphany took place just as tax reform is approaching the final stretch in Congress and it increasingly appears that at least some form of corporate tax cut will be enacted. We say ironically, because the only thing Trump's reform will achieve is to dramatically accelerate recently slowing buybacks, which in turn will push stocks to new all time highs as price-indescriminate CFOs and Tresurers tells their favorite VWAP trading desk to just "wave it in." Which means that the White House paper suggesting corporate tax cuts will boost household income is correct... if it focuses only on the incomes of the richest 1% of households.

TL;DR: Stock market bubble is running out of air, tax reform bill is a desperate attempt to keep it going just a bit longer. CEOs aren't even pretending they're going to invest anything in growth.

Priceless.

You guys make good points.
Yes, land can be converted to gardening, but dealing with soils and having the seeds, watering and protecting your crops are all problems. Problems in a survival situation that require time and calories. Starting from scratch it would be very difficult to convert much of the land to gardens and expect much of a return.
