Resilience

From A DIARY OF THE ONSET OF THE GREATER DEPRESSION, By Carolyn Baker

Some sleight of hand the ruling elite have accomplished since 9/11, namely, that while Americans were pondering the color of the government’s daily terrorist threat assessments, that government and its corporate cronies was taking them to the cleaners, picking their pockets, swindling, cheating, extorting, defrauding, hustling, ripping-off, double-dealing, conning, hornswoggling, hoodwinking, fudging, gouging, bamboozling, scamming, screwing, shafting, and let’s not forget bilking the American middle and working classes. Hey, look over there-see the Italian spider climbing up the wall-or Osama hiding under your bed? And while you look, we’ll steal you deaf, dumb, and blind!

Some of these timeless skills (affiliate link) will come in real handy. Learn to be an ethical opportunist. Learning to pick over the carcass and sell what you find may keep your kids from starving. Maybe pay for your homestead? Might even make you very wealthy in a collapsed economy. It’s up to you. It’s one of my core references.
