Yes, Cat Man Du-- this is the fastlane-- not "the end of the world is nigh".
So what is YOUR fastlane plan to deal with your predictions?
How will you thrive, given all that you see?
Thanks in advance.

Weeeeeeeeeeeell......... Now I know how Noah felt.
I’m going to post my prep-plans on a separate thread.
Thanks guys for all of your input. You have verified my own thoughts, sorry to say.
My concerns are two fold both personal and social. I am worried about my own position when this is over and, also for the 90%.
I belong to a Porsche forum --- mine is a Cabrio, Russ -- you would like it. Used to drive down from Ft. Ord to the LA area along the coast. Boy, with the top down *** you can’t beat it. Anyway several of the members have complained about senseless vandalism on their cars. The have-nots are very jealous of anyone who has more than they do. Makes no difference that the person worked - saved for it.
When the dust settles - the 90% are going to be a problem.
My second concern is for the 90% --- SOCIAL CONSCIENCE.
1. Has anyone noticed how much distain the posters have on this forum for the 90%.- Troubled.
2. I don’t believe that any of our girlie members have posted. - Odd.
3. There has been no empathy and little compassion - Sad.
These are our fellow countryman. They will need help - even if only to be warned about the coming destruction. I am not talking about some service that we can provide that will make money, but someway to really help them.
Perhaps an allegory would be in order here;
I envision the following:
We live high on a hill by a valley that has a big dam walling off a large body of water. The dam has been leaking for some time, but the mayor and council decided to once again patch it as they have done in the past - Well why not -- it has worked before many times.
I tried to intervene by showing how the patches are not holding and the leaks are getting worse, but they would have no part of it. All the valley people went about their business as usual, nobody gave it a thought. Life is easy in the valley and has been for most of the residents lives - they see no need to change.
Well as you can imagine - It finally gave way. I was high up on the hill as were most fastlaners, but the water was terrible - it came up the hill we were on and abated just before it reached our home. What devastation *** it was worse then I expected and came soooo close to us. The sewers backed up and mixed with the water - what a mess.
It was so awful that I just looked and ................I............WEEP..
Hey ...look someone said, and then I saw her floating by **** why I know her that’s our pizza girl that was doing the “ Dave Ramsey” and saving for her car. I can’t reach her -- she’s just too far away. I.......................WEEP.
Well the water has receded and now I see them coming up the hill. I have my weapons and ammo ready - I mean.... I’m MACHO.... aren’t I ? --- But wait a minute now - That’s Bill my neighbor and there’s Kim -- why she’s a fastlaner like me, but she was on a different hill. Oh ... I see ... different hills experience different problems, but she’s coming to pool our resources, as she knows what it is to be hungry. They’re calling for my help. I have to help them. I lay down my weapon.
I look .............................................. I................. WEEP!
