A year from now, your standard of living will have gone down. You'll be eating scraps thrown...
...from War, who'll be sitting at the table.

That is, if you aren't now.

1. Might be more than a year, but that is certainly the
direction in which we seem to be headed.

3. sell drugs
seriously, people get bonuses for excellence in safety when their oil rig blows up, kills workers and kills the gulf


sell drugs, be discreet, supply your kids or grandkids with weed that they can sell to their friends.

4. Good idea
Then you don't have to worry about paying for college, cuz they can get a free education in prison! Stellar!

9. ??? most pot dealers NEVER get caught, much less go to jail
Plus if it is a first offence jail is even less likely. I know people who have been dealing since the 60's and they do just what i am suggesting. how many of your dealers from college went to jail? hell how many of your high school dealers went to jail?

6. This is our future, sadly, if things continue to go this way.
Cartels will begin to get their claws here as well. If gas reached up to $10 with nobody having jobs, for instance, we would slowly become a narco-state.

5. Seems likely
Rising fuel likely to cause the double-dip, or is it triple now?

8. Criminee, I hope not!
No bad vibes! I'm thinking positive that this time next year, things WILL be better. They have to be because if it gets any worse, we'll be homeless.

11. This will happen. When it begins, it will accelerate faster than people think.

12. What happens when we're all flipping burgers at MickeyD's & no one can afford MickeyD's
food since we're all working MickeyD jobs? Hell, we're all close to fighting to GET a MickeyD job or throw ourselves into the MIC meatgrinder.

Cycle. broken. there's not much left to pillage anymore.

Will we see more pitchforks and torches?
