If they make it this far on foot, they probably deserve to inherit the Earth. LOL
I know Colombia borders next to Venezuela. I have read a lot about American retirees going down to Colombia to live because it is much cheaper. I think a lot of people who didn't save enough for retirement might end up elsewhere. However, it seems they don't have a problem with Venezuelan's flooding their borders, and things are bad enough in Venezuela for people to take desperate measures. I wonder how they are keeping their borders secure. Maybe the U.S could learn a thing or two?
Yes, and the Python problem in Florida.@DrHenley Great article and a welcome update as to what is happening there. I sometimes wonder when folks talk about bugging out when it hits the fan, if they think there will be an announcement that it is about to hit the fan? --- Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and what ever else, this coming Monday the S is going to Hit the Fan. Please load up all your prepping supplies and bug out no later that this coming Sunday. Thank you, this has been a public service announcement. --- I just don't see it happening that way, I see it happening over a long period of time and a death by a 1,000 cuts. I don't see WW3 or EMP attack but I do see an economic collapse. The slow death. The only people not starving to death will be the (( very remote)) farmers and the fishermen. The government will attempt to take over the big farms and local fisheries. Only those isolated (too far to be cost effective for government to steal and operate) will have a fighting chance. First the cats and dogs, then all the zoo animals , then any critter that can be caught and eaten, including long pork. We almost wiped out all the buffalo, what makes anybody think they will be able to head for the woods and live off the wild life. The wild hog population problem will be solved the first year. The gator and croc problem will be solved by the second year. All the deer, elk, antelope, bear and every other wild creature will be hunted to near if not complete extinction by the end of the third year. If you plan to eat, you better be able to grow and protect your food source. The farmers and ranchers in Venezuela have learned this the hard way, their guard dogs were killed and in some case eaten. They are having to stand guard over their fields and animals. That wonderful little family garden in the back yard will get somebody killed, you, a family member or the thief trying to steal your meager crop. Venezuela is our fate if we do not take back our country. JM2C
I realized this is old news( May 2018), but Russia selling off American investments, debt, etc. Wonder about that? I have a retirement account, would love to get my money out and have gold instead, but can't gain access yet. Not sure about keeping paper money. Everything is worse all around, inflation just a tax and run by the government?Man, 2005 - 2007 we're big years for me, financially. 6 figure years. All the trades we're booming, work was everywhere. Gas fired peakers and windmills we're going to see us all through to retirement, and we would all be fat and happy.
But it didn't feel right. I was watching guys on alternative media talking about a housing crash, and the debt. I moved my pension to the safest portfolio I could come up with, and learned how to make knives, and fishing poles... I started placing things at the BOL, and learning to shoot, got involved with some other ex military guys who were into it. Also got a divorce, lol. Oops.
I feel the same way now. There are just a few stocks that drive the market higher. The world is as chaotic as I can remember it. Alot going on. Crime here is worse, the city is visibly worse.
Venezuala serves as a valuable lesson. Seems like just yesterday oil prices were high and Chavez was thumping his chest. From massive debt fueled infrastructure building and social program expansion, to eating guard dogs and donkeys in decade.
Right now, this area is seeing a new home and business boom.
This too shall pass.
I'll come out the other side a little more prepared than I did last time, God willing.
I thought they had to have other countries print their money and now can't afford to pay for it to be printed. What a mess.The Venezuela Government decided it's going to stabilize the economy by taking three zeros off of the currency. Then they decided to take off five zeros. Reissue the currency with fewer zeros...yeah that should fix things
Oh, BTW, they already tried this once before.

And you are correct Urban, it's all your fault apparently!
